Best Answer

Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was called Christ during his mission on earth, before 30 CE.

First Thessalonians is the earliest book of The Bible that mentions Christ. It is believed to have been written in the early 50s of the first century CE, or perhaps a little earlier.

Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the early Christians sought to redefine the Jewish scriptures and argue for reading them as a prediction of Jesus instead of belonging to the stories of Israel. They have tried to say that Christ was mentioned in Old Testament prophecy centuries earlier.

"Jesus Christ" is mentioned 64 times "Jesus" (not followed by "Christ") is mentioned 116 times "Christ" (without "Jesus") is mentioned 302 times Please note that Jesus Christ is mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times in the Book of Mormon by other names, such as "Messiah", "Son of God", "Redeemer", "Lord", "Lamb of God" and "Jehovah". I didn't count any of those. In a broader sense, every verse in the Book of Mormon is about Jesus Christ, since the entire book is meant to be "Another Witness of Jesus Christ". The Book of Mormon is a testimony of the faithfulness of God and the divinity and necessity of Jesus Christ as our Savior.
