Jesus
Jesus (4 BCE – 30 CE) was a holy man who is believed by Christlikes to be the son of God. His followers call him Christ (from the Greek) or Messiah (from the Hebrew), both of which roughly mean 'the bedaubed one' or 'the chosen one.' He is said to have worked wonders such as healing folks of ills both fleshly and of the soul, walking on water, stilling storms and manifolding foodstuffs, he is also said to have read minds and healed hearts. He preached that the Rike of God was near and claimed to 'rid his folk from their sins'.
He tholed beating and cursing before his death by roodfastening at the hands of the Romers and at the bidding of Jewish holy men. After three days, his followers hold, he rose from the dead; later he rose up into heaven. Four books, known as Gospels, were written afterwards to tell of his life. Also, the writings of St. Paul of Tarsus tell of these outcomes.
Naming
