How is saying “Christ is King” antisemitic? The same way anything becomes antisemitic - when it is used for the purpose of expressing antisemitism. It’s like asking “how does a shovel become a murder weapon?” When it is used to murder someone. This isn’t hard. A shovel is not innately a murder weapon. Saying “Christ is King” is not innately antisemitic. It’s all about how a thing is used. Saying “Eat some cornbread” is not racist if I say it to my three-year-old when she is refusing her dinner. If I start saying it as a response to X posts by black commentators I don’t like, it has taken on a meaning beyond what is innate. In other words, it is connotatively racist, not denotatively racist. So too “Christ is King” may be antisemitic in connotation while not in denotation when it is being used to express antisemitism. When did this become so? It has always been so. Is it so? Yes. Innately. Additionally, saying “Christ is King” for an evil purpose - like using it as a weapon to express your hatred or disdain for the Jews - is a grave sin. It plainly violates the Third Commandment “Thou shall not carry forth the Name of the Lord thy God in vain.” Surely if I rape and murder someone - like Hamas did on 10/7! - and all the while I shout at them “Christ is King,” - or “God is Great!” - we would agree that I have committed three grievous crimes, not two. Rape? Yes. Murder? Yes. But also the great crime of implicating God in the first two crimes. So one must be cautious how one uses the Name of God. God will not be mocked. Invoking Him in vain self-promotion, or to troll Jews, or to attack your political rivals is to carry forth His Name in vain. Jesus Christ is King, sure enough. King of Heaven and of Earth. King of Jew and Gentile alike. Yet a bruised reed He will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not smother. So don’t use His Name as a cudgel to bash those in whom the Light of God yet flickers. If you do, you are a blasphemer and an antisemite and a piece of crap generally, and the fear of the Lord is clearly not in you. It will be, though.

@JeremyDBoreing when Christians say it, it is because they are praising Jesus for salvation and declaring him the victor i have never heard it used this way (against Jewish people), ever... not even once
@JeremyDBoreing Out of every battle Daily Wire could have chosen, they chose to go to war against the saying, “Christ is King” during Holy Week. This is one of the most evil tactics I have ever seen. Worse than anything the left does. #CancelDailyWire
@JeremyDBoreing The headlines: Jeremy Boreing comes out against the right to own shovels.
@JeremyDBoreing My Catholic church is called Christ the King and its an amazing church. Not giving energy to the those that would try to promote a hate that isnt real. God loves us all.
@JeremyDBoreing "Antisemitic" is a word communists use to deflect criticism.
@JeremyDBoreing So we can't use shovels now?
@JeremyDBoreing "Facts don't care about your feelings"?
You say "Christ is King" is antisemitic when it is used to troll Jews. If you curse out a Jewish person and top it off with "Christ is King," then certainly that is sinful and taking the Lord's name in vain. But is saying CHRIST IS KING and nothing else to a Jew trolling? I've seen people complain that it's being said "in bad faith" to Jews. I do not believe this is possible. Even if you are saying "Christ is King" to a nonbeliever specifically because they are a nonbeliever, that is not bad faith, that is evangelism.
@JeremyDBoreing I don’t know why people are having trouble understanding this.
