Obama denigrates Christians again

Luke 4:34 pretty well debunks that.
Is there anyone who worships that guy??? Jeeze Louise I hope not! Well maybe the gays like him.
Well, they knew who He was and believed it but perhaps they were trembling too much to say actually say the name, "Christ" in that verse. I don't know, but the holding back of the word Christ or using a replacement phrase sounds eerily familiar of demon protocol to me. Just sayin...
Christ is a title, not the name of Jesus.
My bad, so correction, to my point: There seems to be a resemblance in this action of not saying Christian in comparison to demons avoiding using the "title" of Christ with His name. That work?
Question, could it in fact be true that demons don't like to use the word Christ?

This is the test:
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh.
John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
The word "he" is in italics because it is not in the original text. "if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins".
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
They knew exactly what He meant,
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Yeah, here’s how I’m seeing it: The devils believe and tremble (James 2:19), but they don’t like it. My thought is that to call Him, “Christ” is to say He is the King that God has sent who has the right to reign over us as in it is to communicate a commitment to honor Him as one’s personal Lord and King. Therefore, although the demons know who He is they deny meaning that He is their King, i.e., the Christ, because they do not want to communicate that He is their King.
IOWs, if someone seems to have a problem saying the word “Christ” when referring to the title used by those who follow Jesus then perhaps the reason is that they don’t like the idea and do not wish to acknowledge that He is their King. Therefore, these will typically use another name because as for the example in the Word they are expressing the same sentiment of "what do they have to do with Him" (Luke 4:34)? They do not, will not, and utterly hate to refer to Him as their King and as per the example shows would rather refer to Him as “thou Jesus of Nazareth” or “the Holy One of God” or even those that follow Him as "Easter Worshipers" but they ain’t going to call Him their King or admit His kingship freely by using the term Christ.
Luk 4:34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
It seems to me to be pained to use the term Christ with the name Jesus or to refer to the name of His followers (Christian) would be a sign of failing this test.

On a side note, actually, I might not have been too far off with my usage, although I would personally think of it as more of a title than a name:
Christ
/krīst/
noun
- 1.
the title, also treated as a name, given to Jesus.
It is a title and was a title. We treat it as a name. It was not treated as a name when He walked the Earth.
Me thinks you walk a fine line of semantic ambiguity between the association of a name with title.
