“King of the Jews” was a mocking title given to Jesus by the Romans who crucified him.
At no point in the NT is Jesus referred to by that title except (1) during his crucifixion, and (2) by the Magi at the beginning of Matthew. It’s not a Christian title for Him. This title is a poison implanted into your mind

@MeBigbrain @YeetLibs > 19 And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title therefore many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered: What I have written, I have written.
>John 19: 19-22

@YeetLibs I thought Pontius Pilate called Him that to mock the jews? (Not consulting the text deliberately to see how good my recollection is)
