His last name was with near sure certainty, Christ. Me thinks you took this out of context and from a poor translation, but most of the Gospels have strange wording due to fragments being lost. John has a few that are obvious

People in that day and area of the world didn't have last names. Sometimes a name was changed somewhat such as "Jude", "Judas" and "Judah" all of which are the same name (Greek incidentally). Sometimes a name was added to distinguish whom you are speaking of, such as "Judas Iscariot". Iscariot in this case might mean something, but it's definition is lost in time. Usually a home name was added such as "Jesus of Nazareth".
Χριστός or Christ is a Greek term for "anointed" and it's highly unlikely Jesus was ever called this as he spoke Aramaic, and much to the surprise of those he grew up with enough Hebrew to read the Jewish holy books and perhaps a bit of Greek. It's highly unlikely his disciples wrote any Greek (the original tongue of the canonical gospels) given the unlikelihood of higher education. Jesus's friends and family were astounded he could read Hebrew.
Jesus was probably called Messiah, along with many other respectable scholars and notable people, it was a term of respect rather than a title for the son of God. Contrary to popular opinion it wasn't reserved for Jesus.
As far as John, "For example, the portion of the Fourth Gospel (John 7:53-8:1 1) that records the incident of Jesus and the woman taken in adultery has been affected by textual studies. In the King James Version (1611) the passage appears with no indication that it is less authentic than the rest of the New Testament. In the American Revision of the Standard Edition (1901) it is set apart with brackets, and a marginal note explains: "Most of the ancient authorities omit John 7:53-8:11. Those which contain it vary much from each other."
In the Revised Standard Version (1946) this passage is set apart in small italic type, and the marginal note reads: "Other ancient authorities add 7:53-8:11 either here or at the end of this gospel or after Luke 21:38, with variations of the text." The New English Bible (1961) omits the story altogether. It appears as an appendix to the Fourth Gospel, with this footnote: "This passage, which in the most widely received editions of the New Testament is printed in the text of John, 7:53-8:11, has no fixed place in our. ancient witnesses. Some of them do not contain it at all. Some place it after Luke 21:38, others after John 7:36, or 7:52, or 21:24.""

Really?
Where did you read that, you ignorant idiot?
Technically no one had a last name, however to clarify which person you are referring to a "last" name was devised, like Iscariot was for Judas. Christ is as Greek as Iscariot and as good as "Joseph's son", "Messiah", "of Nazareth", or "Carpenter" for a last name. Maybe better.
From the Wikipedia article on "Christ," which contains links to reputable sources:
Quote:
Christ is the English form of the Greek word Χριστός (Christós), which means literally The Anointed One. The word was originally used to translate the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ), that is Messiah.
The word is often misunderstood as the surname of Jesus due to the numerous mentions of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible. The word is in fact a title, hence its common reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning The Anointed One, Jesus. Followers of Jesus became known as Christians because they believed that Jesus was the Christ, or Messiah, prophesied about in the Tanakh (the Christian Old Testament). The majority of Jews reject this claim and are still waiting for the Christ to come (see Jewish Messiah). Most Christians now wait for the Second Coming of Christ when he will fulfill the rest of the Messianic prophecies.
if you want to accept the real life jesus into your life, he's right there in the Koran.
The Koran is a Satanic work and Islam is an evil, Satanic religion that worships a murderous, barbaric paedophile, the so-called "prophet" Muhammad, who is the Antichrist described in the passages from the New Testament quoted above.

Good point. Christ and the early Gospel writers taught that the end of the world was coming within the life time of their followers. He and they were unconcerned about life on earth and didn't give any thought beyond what was needed to prepare for judgment day. Therefore Christ is essentially one dimensional.
The Koran however was written to create a self sustaining government based on religion. It puts Christ in the position of being one of many prophets, the one whom one day will come and rid the earth of evil forever.
I happen to disagree with most of what is written in the Koran, however it is a good point to bring up given the one dimensional viewpoint of early Christianity. Later post-apostolic Gospels did move away from the idea of imminent destruction and focus more on life on earth too.

The most murderous pomgroms, genocides and wars were fought over secular beliefs. Stalin, Mao and Hitler just for instance killed for secular beliefs not for religion. The most you can say is religion is used for justification, after all God is on everyone's side until someone wins proving he was on that side.
