re: Ted Cruz: “Christ is King” is offensive

I smell ssssoooooo much straw.

So much, one could build a man out of it.

Correct. I was just pointing that out with this comment:

deciding anti-semitism is a much bigger issue than anti-Christian sentiment and then deciding draconian anti-semitism laws are needed.

Which is why I asked you to cite the exact time in the video when he discussed these laws, to point out that you're doing the above, as that is not part of his argument in the video posted.

What was discussed in the video posted was the use of this phrase for hatred, hence my comment (which you quoted when created the straw man above)

TED: * "It was not the Jews who killed Jesus. It was you. It was me.

Come on man

Some one remind Ted that Jesus let himself be the sacrifice. It had to be so the World could be saved. Even the non believers. There is no hate.

Have a great day

Funny thing about a dog whistle, no one but dogs can hear them.

Do you hear them?

That is within the context of believing/supporting the ideas. That also leads to the idea of community by obtaining the secret knowledge of that "hidden" message.

That level of mental incompetency of emotional brokenness isn't required to observe them, though. Arguing otherwise would be quite silly.

Message board my dawg, not a courtroom. I can quote anything I wish and use it to make any comment I wish. That comment was not for you nor was it directed at you. It was a general comment.

Relax.
Drink some coffee
Eat a kolache
Be a normal human
This ain't about gotcha
So stop being a dumbass.

Nope. No strawman. I just played off your "imagine sincere Christian" shite. Did not try to use anything I said as an argument against what you said. That lack of argument is what makes my comment lack the strawman connotation.
Yours however...

So we are back to

Relax.

So your position is, "Christ is King!" is an occult message within Christian sects?

Are you yanking everyone's chain?

That is some exquisitely creative bulls#t analysis, I will say that.

Spearheading "Movements" you say?? That's distortion of the truth as much as Ted. You and Ted seem to be spearheading the same conspiracy theory.

The phrase has gained popularity among far-right figures and their followers. Conservative influencer Candace Owens, who shares antisemitic conspiracies, sells branded “Christ is King” coffee mugs and T-shirts.

Analyzing social media postings between 2021 and 2024, the institute reported a dramatic increase of the phrase “Christ is king,” often used as a hate meme targeting Jews. The report lamented this deviation from its historical use as a hopeful, sacred affirmation with biblical roots.

---

quote:

---

A recent meeting of the Religious Liberty Commission, a group President Donald Trump created and appointed, put the phrase and related controversies in the spotlight.

At a Feb. 9 hearing focused on antisemitism, one witness, Seth Dillon, spoke of often hearing people use the phrase “Christ is king” followed immediately by a highly contemptuous slur toward Jews.

“This should offend every Christian,” said Dillon, the CEO of the conservative satirical site The Babylon Bee.

quote:

---

Dillon said no and that, as a Christian, he regularly declares that “Christ is my king” — but context matters.

He testified that the phrase has been co-opted by Groypers, alluding to the followers of far-right influencer Nick Fuentes, who has spread antisemitic views.

What conspiracy?

Many Christians know and love Jesus in personal ways, and one of the titles that belong to Him is “King" and even "King of kings", like it or not. And saying "Christ is King" (and many other things from His word) can be offensive to many that have not come to trust Him.

With that said, often, the intent of the heart is revealed through our actions and words. I’m not entirely sure what other things people are saying (or intending beyond this), but I’m aware that the planting of fake individuals in churches and possibly even synagogues is likely a real and persistent effort meant to create division and deception among those who follow Christ or those who may come to know Him or want to know Him. This idea of planting fake people into places has already been happening in an organized way for a very long time.

Yes, we are all quite familiar with the ADL and SPLC victimhood industries, agendas and anti-Christian propaganda.
