Mr. J. Christ

"Jesus Christ" has two connotations in English, both of them bad. Either:

  1. It's a common curse, or
  2. It sounds like "Christ" is Jesus' surname.

Both of them get worse when you add the middle initial "H". ;)

So please stop saying it. I recommend using one of the following instead:

  1. Christ Jesus
  2. Jesus the Christ
  3. Jesus the Messiah

Odd how so many old hymns prefer #1 to "Jesus Christ".
