Consensus Building

A great discussion bogged down as we have no way to identify consensus once established. There are some solid proposals including:

This is the beginning of the Good News about Jesus the Chosen One.

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.

The Gospel of Jesus, who is the Messiah, begins:

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus, the Chosen One.

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus, the Appointed One[1], the Son of God:[2]

[1] Gr. Christos, lit. "Anointed One," equivalent to Heb. Messiah.
[2] Some early manuscripts omit "the Son of God."

Shall we do this democratically and set up an online poll? Any other ideas for establishing consensus?
