Yeshua Hamashiach, the person modern Christianity knows as Jesus, rumor according to records that have been found, show not only did Yeshua actually exist, they were likely light skinned. That doesn’t mean they were white, and since we have no living person to question, and assuming the romans were being correct in their documents(I think romans, I’m being lazy and not looking it up, also it might be buried in a tome somewhere, or a history journal where they classified someone known as Yeshua Hamashiach as roman inflection or some such meaning lighter skinned), Yeshua might have been somewhere between Ricky Ricardo and the Weekend. Also I’ve never found a lick of evidence for turning water into wine, so not saying the miracles are true or not(miracles can happen, tho I do wonder how many miracles would actually be miracles if we just understood the actual process taking place), but Yeshua Hamashiach, aka Jesus seems to have actually existed. Probably a granola eating hippy type that preached about equality, and freedom for all, and was the first to do so and melted everyone’s damn mind…
Also, “Hamashiach” means the exact same thing that “Christ” means- “messiah.” It wasn’t his name. His name would have been his name and then the name of his father, like any Jew. And since people didn’t generally agree with him on who he claimed his father was, he would have been Yeshua bin Yosef.
Incidentally, if you are going to go with Hamashiach as his title, it means “anointed one” (as does messiah). You know who else has been anointed by holy oil? Donald Hamashiach Trump.

Oh, well if there’s a rumor…
