-Caveat Lector-
Meaning of INRI........first time I ever saw this was when Jean Dixon
sent me her two books, which she autogrpaphed only she mailed to my
boss, for me and in the one book, Gift of Propaganda (pardon, prophecy
straight out of Romans 12) she had a prayer card and on it the piciture
of Christ with INRI.......
I have written what I have written, as she had written what she had
written only I backed up my words by filing a criminal charge against
her for soothsaying without a license....and it was Goodbye Columbus,
for over 10 years she dare not come back or she thought she would be
thrown in the slammer ......
Now INRI - my family all were Greek, Latin Scholars and knew Hebrew as
well for it was for some reason part of their training....once the
Catholic Church Latin was a chosen language, and you could communicate
with a catholic in any country in the world - using a dead language.
Made nice code in a sense.
So this item I thought someone might enjoy .....and inri on the list,
wonder what his INRI stands for - or is he what you call ehalted
paranoid type?

What do the letters "INRI" on the crucifix mean?
The letters "INRI" are initials for the Latin title that Pontius Pilate
had written over the head of Jesus Christ on the cross (John 19:19).
Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire.
The words were "Iesus Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm." Latin uses "I" instead
of the English "J", and "V" instead of "U" (i.e., Jesus Nazarenus Rex
Judaeorum). The English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of
the Jews."
The Early Church adopted the first letters of each word of this
inscription "INRI" as a symbol. Throughout the centuries INRI has
appeared in many paintings of the crucifixion.
By the way, Pilate's title for Christ was actually written in three
languages.
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross.
And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title
then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was
nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King
of the Jews;' but that he said, 'I am King of the Jews'." Pilate
answered,
"What I have written I have written."
-John 19:19-22 (KJV)
SABA Note: as I recall Jesus replied "you said it", not I.
