That's why it's important to choose words carefully to avoid misinterpretation.

I absolutely agree. Most chanting this statement do not actually know the antisemitic origins of the term. Gotquestions please do a video on the phrase Christ is King. It has also been hijacked by politics losing its true meaning.

Words have meaning and, culturally speaking, we must be mindful of context and consequences of using them.

This a timely explanation considering the recent US college and university protests.
As another has stated some of the participants believe it's a catchy phase. I do believe that the leaders of those protests know it's true meaning.
Honestly all of this creates sadness within me.
I don't know what the answer is. That said. Praying that all come to know the God of the Bible would be a good beginning.

Thank you very much Pastor Nelson.

May God bless and your family more.

The first thought that came to me with the expression "river to sea" is well expressed by Deuteronomy 11:24. May the Lord answer the prayer in Psalm 72:8 and fulfill the prophecy of Zechariah 9:10. Yes, may the Lord settle this dispute and make His peace when He displays His glory.

Very measured and well thought out. Thank you.

may those who said they are Christians are true followers of Christ.

Phrases, like words and symbols, only have usages, not intrinsic meaning.

There's also "mowing the grass"

Whoever doesn't know is playing dumb.

As a devout believer in Christ I will no longer blindly support Israel.

It means let's go unalive everyone in the area from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the east. North or Egypt and South of Seria.
