The Greek name of Jesus Christ, as used in the New Testament, is:

IESOUS CHRISTOS

... which anagrams to OSIRIS SET CHOUS

CHOUS means "grave"

'Osiris, probably the most well known of the Egyptian gods, was considered to be the god of vegetation, the god of the resurrection, but most importantly, the god of the Underworld. According to Egyptian mythology, Osiris was sent to earth by Amon-Re and he ruled peacefully over it until his brother, Set, became jealous of his good position and enticed him into a coffin, which he sent down the Nile River. The coffin was found by Isis, wife to Osiris, enclosed in a tree in Lebanon. She brought it back to Egypt, but during a temporary absence, Set stole the body of Osiris from Isis and cut into pieces, scattering the pieces throughout the land. Isis recovered to pieces and using magic, was supposed to have resurrected Osiris as a God-King. Osiris then became the ruler of the Underworld and the judge of the dead.'

Cute, eh?

Local to where I live in London, back in the 70s, a guy started a successful cult - which is still in existence, called EMIN. He started off by calling himself LEO IV ("Leo 4") - which is an anagram of "I love".

He made a lot of money.

Anybody fancy starting a cult? All we need is a good anagram.

Did people do anagrams during the NT period? What happens if it is extended to Lord Jesus Christ?

( I thought this was a discussion of cults who truly believe healings etc happen by calling on the name of Jesus - like I was brought up in!)
