DCon (I think it was him!) is right! The definite article "the" in English is ho in Greek. There are 24 forms of ho, depending up whether plural or singular; Masc., Feminine or neuter; and which case -nominative, genitive, dative it accusative. (Sorry, I am on my phone, no Greek letters. It is actually omicron with a rough breathing Mark!)
I hope you understand that the definite article is very complex and different in Greek, the language in which the Bible was written. It can appear by itself, before an adjectival participle, and has many meanings. Daniel Wallace in his Greek Grammar, "Beyond the basics of Biblical Greek" has 90 pages on the definite article. I read it, it took me about a month! I learned a lot!
So what the OP is saying has no real basis in language, that is, in Greek. "The" is almost always used before a personal name or title. It is not translated into English, because "the" is not used that way. My advice is to learn to read and write better in English, before you make ignorant pronouncements!

Several people have criticized the wording of the thread title. I questioned it initially, but realized that while it is an unusual structure, it is grammatically legitimate. Other ways to put it would be, “Christ is not a “‘who’” or, more concisely, “Christ is no who.”
That said, it’s still theologically incorrect.
