| | | I need help translating this phrase.
I saw a picture of it last night online and I was wondering what this phrase means (Greek studs, please help) I will transliterate:
eroteumenos me ton christo
I can figure out "christo" but the rest I am a bit stumped. I cant wait to get into a Greek class.

I'm not familiar with the verb you cite (eroteumenos), and I just did a search for it in an electronic Greek NT (and LXX) and could not find it.
me is the first person singular personal pronoun (ironically, "me"). ton is simply the definite article for the noun which follows ("the Christ" or "the anointed one").
Depending on how me is written (is there a line over the "e" indicating a long vowel?), it could be the negative particle ("no"). In which case the last part of the phrase would be "not the Christ."

If I am not mistaken eroteumenos is modern greek roughly 'in love'.

It is modern Greek and it means, "In love with Christ".

Christian ritual costs nothing and is worth nothing. True Christian religion costs all that we have and is worth everything.
