A question, do you know the origin of the phrase "king of kings" and do you know what it meant to hearers in the 1st century? Or do you just apply your own spin on the term and not worry about what it likely was intended to mean.
If you pay attention to his posts, you’ll realize this is exactly what he does.
Let us learn the lesson from the New Testament.
When Scribes & Pharisees (religous leaders with integrity), who are preaching the words of God to the Jews and claiming their God is the Father.
JOHN 8:41
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
But since they can't identify who God the Father is.
JOHN 54:55
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Whoever, the recognition to Jesus is not a revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:15-17) they don't deserve an evidence.
This is what Jesus tell them when they ask for evidence and after that Jesus will leave them.
LUKE 11:29
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
MATTHEW 16:4
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
If Simon Peter, John & James will come in our generation as a regular fishermen only.
Would you believe on what they share or you will ask them the same question?
How about Lazarus full of sores in Luke 16:19-31.
If he comes in our generation and share what is the truth.
Would you believe in him or you will also ask the same question?
LUKE 16:20-21
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
People are given a freewill to decide for themselves to believe the truth or not.
As the Lord Jesus said to his chosen:
MATTHEW 10:14
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
MATTHEW 15:14
14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Again you post thinly-veiled accusations but fail to provide any evidence to support them.
You lack integrity.
If you cannot answer a simple question, you can just say so, you do not need to try to deflect the away from yourself. A simple admission that you do not know the answer indicates an honest person, deflecting makes me, at least even if no one else, wonder why you feel the need to deflect.
Hello to u and than you for your posts , I enjoy them very much . Stay strong in Christ and don't b down hearted when others don't appreciate u .
I've come to reason out that modern "Christianity" is very much simpler than most folks are understanding it to be.
There are just TWO religious systems in the world TODAY, and all the way back to Eden. One the Spirit of Able, the other the spirit of Cain. The Spirit of Truth ( Holy Spirit ) and the spirit of lies and deception. One of obedience, the other of disobedience, to God
Satan has been very proficient at deceiving most folks all through history, believing his Doctrines of Disobedience. TODAY, most all men prefer believing Satan's 1st lie from Eden, rather than Jesus, The Way The Truth, to Life, ... through Righteousness, by Faith. Galatians 2:20
As in the days of Noah. Matthew 24:37-39 , Luke 17:26-27 ... Most men TODAY believe Satan, to continue in their lusts "For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life." (1 John 2:16 ) ... rather than believing (Noah) Jesus, the Word.

The Truth is: When it comes to spiritual things, what a man would say is not matters:
HEBREWS 13:6
6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Religious leaders (Scribes, Pharisees, Teachers & Doctors of the law) said the worst words to Jesus but Jesus never stop in sharing the truth.
JOHN 10:20
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
The truth is: Whoever can't identify who God the Father is. He is the real foolish in the eyes of God and there is no truth in him.
JEREMIAH 4:22
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
A question, do you know the origin of the phrase "king of kings" and do you know what it meant to hearers in the 1st century? Or do you just apply your own spin on the term and not worry about what it likely was intended to mean.
It is not necessary to know the origin of the phrase King of Kings.
It is a word of God and God will be the one to reveal the meaning of it.
And God could reveal the meaning if we humble ourselves to him.
Most of the kings of Israel and Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord. The same would be true of today's political leaders. I think you'd agree.
King of kings can be a little confusing because there's more than one way to look at it.
I think if you read it as Jesus reigning over subservient kings, that might be a problem looking at the Old Testament and history since that period.
I do believe that He will establish His kingdom with leadership under Him, but over regions, after He judges the world. However there's another way to look at Him as King of kings. He is certainly King, and far above any other. There is no king like Jesus the great and Almighty King of all kings.

Let me remind you that we are talking about spiritual things in this thread.
For a clarification only. And for the information of the readers too.
When it comes to spiritual what kind of integrity are you looking for?
Spiritual integrity is the kind most lacking in you. You have slandered me repeatedly and you continue doing so obliquely. You have not provided any evidence to support your slander.
Genuine integrity would have you justify your accusations by quoting me where I have said things you claim I believe or reject, or offer a contrite apology when you realize there is no such evidence and you have invented a narrative with no objective foundation…
For the information of other readers.
However, because you don’t actually have integrity, you will dodge accountability, claim your comments are not personal, or make up some ridiculous moralizing hogwash about some righteous warrant for your despicable behaviour. Then you will continue in your slander, while still claiming it is “truth”…
For the information of other readers.
The issue is not whether or not God chose to utter it, but rather the context in which it is uttered. The meaning for the English word "weird" has changed over the past 1000 years to the point where very few people of this day would recognize its meaning from 1000 years ago. The phrase "king of kings" was uttered in a specific context with specific implications. If one does not know what the phrase meant to its initial hearers, then one will miss the message delivered. Sometimes taking of available knowledge is a means of humbling one's-self, yet there remain those who are too proud to do so and instead insist that their act of humbling be that of their own choice, not God's.
Spiritual integrity is the kind most lacking in you. You have slandered me repeatedly and you continue doing so obliquely. You have not provided any evidence to support your slander.
First I'm not slandering you or attacking you.
It so happened when I share what is the truth you think I'm slandering and attacking you.
As I said I don't attack anybody.
Why don't you read again the entire Matthew Chapter 23. To Scribes, Pharisees, Teachers and doctors of the law thought that Jesus was slandering & attacking them and so they put Lord Jesus into death.
But the truth is: Jesus by sharing what is the truth was rebuking them in their wrong belief. So he loved them.
PROVERBS 25:5
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Jesus has the evidence why he was rebuking them. Because they don't know who God the Father is. That is the evidence of Jesus.
JOHN 8:54-55
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
Genuine integrity would have you justify your accusations by quoting me where I have said things you claim I believe or reject, or offer a contrite apology when you realize there is no such evidence and you have invented a narrative with no objective foundation…
I'm not inventing narrative as my foundation.
I'm just quoting and sharing what God the Father and what the Lord Jesus said in.
Hebrews 13:6
John 10:20
Jeremiah 4:22
However, because you don’t actually have integrity, you will dodge accountability, claim your comments are not personal, or make up some ridiculous moralizing hogwash about some righteous warrant for your despicable behaviour. Then you will continue in your slander, while still claiming it is “truth”…
Again I will say it once more, I'm not slandering you.
When it comes to spiritual things. If you are looking for the integrity, then you will not believe Lord Jesus and instead you believe the Scribes & Pharisees.
Because for them, Jesus has no integrity.
MTHHEW 9:10-11
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
