Christ is King

You may be hearing the statement lately that "Christ is king!"

It would be better to say, "Jesus is the Son of God!" 

"Christ" is just the English transliteration of the Greek word for the Hebrew word (transliterated as "messiah") for "anointed one" which was usually a king.  "Christ" is not a name for "Jesus." 

But if some are saying it as a political statement or to create division or to be offensive to non-Christian Jews who are religious—because Christian Jews and non-religious Jews wouldn't be offended, then they should say “Jesus is Son of God,” because non-Christian Jews who are religious believe that Christ is King; they just don't believe Jesus is the Christ.  Also, you can kill 2 birds with one stone by saying “Jesus is the Son of God,” since Muslims believe Jesus is the Christ, but not the Son of God—which they don't realize their error, because the Christ is the Son of God.

Are they purposely using that statement at this present time to cause division among those who hold similar conservative social views who are not Christians, such as certain Jews?

What's their intent here? 

Every Christian should know that Jesus is the Christ. It should not be a political statement with an ulterior motive to alienate certain social conservative Jews. But if that is their aim, then say “Jesus is the Son of God!”
