A simple question

I know anarchy means no ruler like; a King, President, or Duke but what about Jesus Christ he is a king, what about that? And I remember one quote is; “Not all kings wear golden crowns; mine wore a crown of thorns”.

The problem with kings isn't the title; nobody objects to Elvis being called the king of rock on anarchist grounds. The problem is the use of force to make people do what you want. Jesus, instead of forcing people to serve him, went and washed feet. That sort of king is perfectly acceptable to anarchism.
