christ, already

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Christ is used exclusively in Christianity to refer to the second Person of
the Trinity.  Nobody refers to the Father or the Holy Ghost as Christ.

Here's a handy photographic mnemonic :

The seaman's story is of tempest, the plowman's of his team of bulls; the
soldier tells his wounds, the shepherd his tale of sheep.
