You may be hearing the statement lately that "Christ is king!"
It would be better to say, "Jesus is the Christ!"
"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." So, it's like saying "king is the king." It's a little redundant.
But are some saying it as a political statement or to create division or to be unnecessarily offensive?
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.
