Hereafter XS and XRS:
The Coptic Runes of Christ in the Gospel of Philip
- If thou say ‘I’m a Hebrew —no one will be moved. If thou say ‘I’m a Roman’—no one will be disturbed. If thou say ‘I’m a Greek, a barbarian, a slave, a freeman’—no one will be troubled. If thou [say] ‘I’m a CHRESTIAN°’—[everyone] shall heed. (53)
“IS the XS beguiled the whole place” (124)

DATA:
* When the XS came -- When one becomes alive to the truth one is in danger of dying. He is alive since the day that the XS came - the system was invented, the cities are constructed, the dead carried out. (4,5) ///
* XS is the perfect person, brings manna, has all things within – human, angel, mystery – including the father (15) /// XRS came to rectify himself to the separation (86). XRS is a revealed name / common noun. (20)
* XS is the Greek “messiah” (20) /// XRS is the Aramaic / Hebrew / SYROS “messiah” (20)
* Born through the sacred spirit and we are reborn through the XS (80) /// The XRS ransoms some, saves some, atones some (8)
* XS so called from the XRISMA not baptism, Christians are so called from the XRISMA (101) /// If a ChrEstian receives the XRISMA in the power of the cross and apostles he becomes a XRS (72)
* XS is the measured (51) /// “Both the XRS and also the measured” implies XRS is not the measured? (51) IS is the measurement.
* IS the XS beguiled the entire place and did not burden anyone. Therefore, blest is this perfected person of this kind; for this one is the Logos. (124)
The proposition is that although the ligatures XS and XRS are both translated as "Christ" the above data suggests that two different and contrasting meanings are revealed when the use of the two ligatures is compared in context. (XS /// XRS)
Any thoughts?
