Proud of his Heresy...

Wow.

I'm glad I'm not the one who will have to stand and account for these words on the Last Day...




Matthew 12: 35-37

35The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

For the record, there are many instances in which Jesus Christ acknowledges both his Divinity and his role as Messiah.

This may help. (Source: Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2001 Douglas Harper)

c.1300, Messias, from L.L. Messias, from Gk. Messias, from Aramaic meshiha and Heb. mashiah "anointed" (of the Lord), from mashah "anoint." This is the word rendered in Septuagint as Gk. Khristos (see Christ). In O.T. prophetic writing, it was used of an expected deliverer of the Jewish nation. The modern Eng. form represents an attempt to make the word look more Heb., and dates from the Geneva Bible (1560). Transf. sense of "an expected liberator or savior of a captive people" is attested from 1666.

If Jesus didn't want to be thought of as the Messiah, the Bible shouldn't have used Messiah / Christ both as part of his name and his rightful Title.
