Messiah
CRITICAL: Established Alkitab usage (Yesus Kristus) deliberately uses the Greek/English-derived Kristus rather than the Qur’anic Al-Masih title, precisely to avoid the appearance of adopting an Islamic-vocabulary (‘Insider Movement’-style) translation strategy that has been a significant point of controversy in Malay/Indonesian Bible translation circles. This Language Package follows that established, deliberate convention.
