    Question for Chico!

    What is Jesus's surname?

    Me and my lad had a drunken discussion about this last night - he seems to think it's Christ (to which I laughed hysterically)....he thinks it was Joseph and Mary Christ, who had a son called Jesus - hence Jesus Christ.

    I'm not convinced myself like, but the more I think about it, the more it makes kind of sense.

    Everyone else in the bible seemed to have surnames, so what is Jesus's?

    Thanks in advance

    Surnames only started about a thousand years ago. It was those bastard Normans and their taxes. Yup bloody taxman causing trouble again.
    Drivel is my speciality

      People in those days didn't have surnames as we know them today. His name would have been Jesus the Christ (though that wouldn't have really been his name since Christos is Greek meaning messiah, the old Hebrew is 'mashiah' - or Messiah in English - so more likely Jesus Mashiah).

      People often were named after places too, so it could have also been Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Nazarene.

      As for his parents, Joseph was probably Joseph The Chippy, and Mary would have been Mary The Slapper.

        Chico has exposed himself and has been put away for the time being.

        Did they? I don't remember that. Anyway, if I recall correctly he was called Jesus of Nazereth.

            So what's with this Mary Magdalene character then?

            Judes Escariot?

            (Spelling???)

                  Chico was outed some time ago and the real person has owned up. Do try to keep up.
                  Of course it could all be a wind up and Chico is just playing along.
