>And by way of theology, Jesus is the Christ our Lord not because he is the son of God only, but because he IS God.
I quite agree: He [Jesus] is God’s Word made Human, the Light of the World.
>America is based on the concept that all men are created equal
On this I agree. {Side/theological note: Jesus is/was NOT Created.}
>= [I?]F you[’re] King George you were not created our ruler.
No, not created; but perhaps appointed. Those are two different words/ideas. {God does allow/appoint the evil to rule, for a time, to further His own goals: see Daniel and the Babylonian Captivity.}
>The concept is the dagger at the heart of hereditary rule.
You’re not separating “hereditary rule” from that of “Justice”/righteous. Jesus can claim BOTH hereditary rule _AND_ that of Righteousness; just like he can Claim both Humanity and Deity... just like light _is_ a particle and a wave.
>If all men were created equal, then why does some man in England dare to call himself my King?
Why does some man call himself your supervisor [or boss]... assuming you are both not unemployed AND not self-employed?
The concept that all men are created equal is antithetical to the idea of a man being appointed created or otherwise divinely our king. Our revolution was directly anti royalist in concept and execution.
The kings of Europe DID claim a divine right to rule.
We put that claim to the test, to their detriment and our relief.
I cannot believe it is a point of contention with you. Do you propose support the concept of Queen Elizabeth of England being our divinely appointed ruler?
Our revolution put the lie to that claim.
