Rath said- "Religions don't need to name themselves within their own religious books to be a religion, I don't see how this argument works. Also Christ means, I think, the Messiah in Hebrew. It's an epithet not a name.
It's also mentioned in the bible in case you're wondering. http://bible.cc/matthew/16-16.htm"
So, you could name a religion at your will? I don't think so. A religion should be mentioned in the scriptures or at least described by the Prophet of the religion. As the term 'Christianity' is made up, so are the terms 'Trinity' and 'Rapture'.
Of course 'Christ' could be mentioned in the bible. But I wonder if Simon Peter could speak English.
And more interesting is that unlike Quran, the original text of Bible is not available so you could compare if there is any mistake in translation. The nearest text found is 200 years after Jesus (pbuh).
The original Bible was in Hebrew. One verse from Bible shows Jesus (pbuh) spoke Hebrew when he was 'supposedly' taken into crucifixion, he cried 'Eli, Eli, Lama sabachthani' (O God! Why did thou forsaken me). But rest others are Greek and then translated into other languages.
