NO ONE

IS PERFECT There is a Nun who was once a hollywood darling starlet who palled around with a young Elvis. She became a Benedictine Nun and her life became a movie. Once while she was with Elvis someone shouted out to him "You are the King" to which he replied "Don't call me King, there is but one King, the Lord Jesus Christ." This impressed her apparently. As popular as Elvis is or was, as popular or important as anyone is or was, they, and we are just mortal. And mortal means Not Perfect. Not Hardly. Even real Kings, not pretend Hollywood ones are not perfect. Youtube will be the curse of the modern British monarchy as people now are starting to tilt the kingship in the favor of Diana's progeny (as it rightfully belongs) as opposed to anything Camilla the Hun might be conniving, as she is determined apparently to be Queen. The story of that Monarchy through the centuries is filled with palace intrigue and not a little bloody murder apparently--something King Henry VIII is more known for than anything else he did, doing away with multiple wives' heads. It is widely rumored and supported with YouTube videos of tattle tales that Prince Charles of Wales (once upon a time the most eligible bachelor in the western world, and a sex symbol outrivaling Elvis, who could cut a rug dancing till dawn) was having an affair with two women who detested each other before marrying Diana and only one of them carried on after the marriage as his mistress who later became his wife-the now Duchess of Cornwall-Camilla de Ville as she is called by those cherishing the memory of Diana the Dead. The wife and the other mistress are mysteriously well before their time dead with convenient explanations and 'accidents' to blame. It is also widely rumored that in between all that tomfoolery with jealous mistresses he was also buggering certain of the Palace staff. It is anathema to even suggest it. The Sun and other tabloid mayhem thrive on such anathemas. Because there is a burning drive to establish that these people are just mortals like the rest of us. No one is Perfect. Not even Kings. Not even wannabe Kings, not even first in line to the royal throne of what was once the greatest Empire in the Western World with holdings that stretched all the way to the Middle East and modern day Israel. It was once thought that Kings ruled by Divine Right and some in France at least took that to mean because Mary Magdalene actually had children with Jesus and the progeny became French Merovingian Kings spawning royal households across Europe. This myth was heavily debunked by the Papal royalists who deemed there to be only one earthly King as representative of Jesus- the Pope because Jesus was single and gave the keys to the kingdom to one guy (like he didn't know how to make several sets). Those kingdoms clashed time and again. The legitimacy, illegitimacy distinction in British monarchy seems all arbitrary myth when one considers that William the Conqueror in 1066 was believed in France to be a bastard son (illegitimate) of a nobleman which is why they call him Guiomme Le Batard (Billy the Bastard). No one since in England can really claim to be 'legitimate' descended from that Norman invasion, and there have been other breaks in what would be considered a legitimate line from French Kings in England, to the Plantagenets, Tudors and Windsors. The history is a fascinating story of who gets to call themselves Royal or Aristocratic in British terms with warring cousins and murderous subterfuges. The current still living Prince Phillip, the Queen's husband was once thought too common an aristocrat to marry into the Royal household because he was born a German (called Charlie Kraut by some) of the noble clsss that was once of the line of King of Greece but exhiled during a Greek Civil War which sent him packing to live with British uncle Mountbatten and being schooled in an English boarding school. He apparently is called "Prince Consort" and not good enough in blueish blood to be King, but would be grandfather or father to the next King. But Jesus tells us that there is only one right true Kingdom - "My Kingdom is not of this earth" said Jesus- The Kingdom of God is not found on a map. The true King, and the only one who is perfect, is Jesus the Lord. He tells us who is eligible for citizenship in his Kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6:9. The Righteous, the Just, those who Keep his Commandments, those who call upon the name of the true Lord. And who does Jesus say is in HIS Royal Family? Those who do HIS will. Those who follow HIS commandments. Those who follow HIS path of Righteousness, Those who DO what he says, not just talk about it. What he says to do is radical. It requires a radical obedience. Not blind loyalty to a perishable crown with defects, subterfuges, hidden murders and adulteries. What Jesus says to do to inherit HIS Kingdom is radical obedience to a radical morality- not what the common masses think is ok- but a radical purity -of heart, and body. Elvis was Right. There is but One True King. The Lord Jesus Christ.
