Your ability to completely misunderstand Tolkien's work is genuinely impressive.

So long to our friend, our king, Bernard Hill.

We will never forget you.

“For he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning.”

@wylfcen I probably keep my mouth shut, as the fact that I speak modern English would probably not go over well for me.

Christ is King!

We say this because it is true! Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords! Hosanna in the highest!

Christ is King!

We say it because Jesus could have come as a conquering hero, but instead he came to set us free from our sins and teach us the Kingdom of Heaven.

Christ is King!

We say it because God so loved the WORLD that He came in human form to be tortured and executed for crimes He never committed, all so that in Him, we have eternal life.

Christ is King!

We say it because in Him there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, and if we are in Him, we are Abraham’s offspring.

Christ is King!

We say it because the Kingdom of Heaven is for every race, tribe, nation, and creed, without exception. Anyone can be saved by grace through faith in Christ by professing belief in Him and following his commandments.

Christ is King!

We say it because even when those with impure hearts wish to commandeer it for their own perverse uses, they cannot succeed, for the Lord will hold no one guiltless who misuses His name!

Christ is King!

We say it because He was foretold by Hebrew prophets of old, born the lion of Judah, fulfilling Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Malachi, Zechariah, and more.

Christ is King!

We say it because Jesus quoted the Hebrew Bible frequently, showing his love for Law and prophecy!

Christ is King!

We say it because God is Love and Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. God’s love is perfect and perfect love casts out fear. So much hatred is based in fear, but there can be no hatred in perfect Agape (self sacrificial) love.

Christ is King!

We say it because we die daily to sin and crucify our flesh in order to produce fruit of the spirit. And there is no room for sin; only Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. We will know people by their fruits, and those who don’t bear these are not of the Kingdom of God even if they themselves profess “Christ is King”.

Christ is King!

We say it because He is the Good Shepherd and we are His sheep. We know His voice, and in Him we shall not want.

Christ is King!

We say it because His is the Kingdom, and the Glory, and the Power, Amen!

@martindlund @teelokay Totally right, and it would seem you have pissed them off by noting their inconsistency. 😆

[Ditch van Winkle (PhD) @Ditch_vanWinkle]

@TheMuppetPastor I truly don't understand the obsession with the carnal aspect of "knowing" your spouse. Are people (read men mostly) just that selfish and arrogant? Geez.
