Yet somehow the money is now both Ceasar's and God's. Does that make Ceasar = God? Is Ceasar, God?
I had a lightbulb go off.......To the religious left, Ceasar (representing Government) IS God....at least in earthly manifestation. It'd answer alot, such as the disconnect between Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars, and render unto God that which is belongs to God with
"The Church does not believe that the money you have is yours but that it is a blessing from God and ultimately belongs to Him. There is no question of ownership" and how folks like Js can actually even fathom the notion that Jesus would support the forced taking of what belongs to someone, in order to give it to someone else.
Of course, maybe, hopefully, he's differentiating between what "the Church" believes and what is truely God's intentions, as relayed thru the Bible. Let's hope that's the case
