majamajic:That is not what Jesus meant, not by a long shot! |
Re: Answer The Questions Please by Kobojunkie: 4:22pm On May 17, 2020 |
jom28gy: That response was given in regards to the paying of taxes.
The practical meaning to the statement is contained in the context, as provided in Matthew 22 - Pay your freaking taxes! |

Re: Answer The Questions Please by Kobojunkie: 4:56pm On May 17, 2020 |
majamajic:Simply, Pay your taxes! |
Re: Answer The Questions Please by majamajic(m): 4:58pm On May 17, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: Then what is obeying laws of the land ? Tax excluded from the laws ? 1 Like |
Re: Answer The Questions Please by Kobojunkie: 5:05pm On May 17, 2020 |
majamajic:Jesus was speaking specifically about their paying of taxes. There is a reason for why the pharisees asked him that very question, and why Jesus called them out as hypocrites. The other laws of the land is a whole nother case. |

Kobojunkie: Not only tax , he meant If your state say lockdown Churches , u obey , that's what Jesus meant too not only taxes , obey the laws of the land , that the meaning of give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar ! |
Re: Answer The Questions Please by Kobojunkie: 5:26pm On May 17, 2020 |
majamajic: Jesus gave that particular retort in response to questions about paying of taxes by men who were known in the day as authorities in the temple of God. "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesars, and unto God, that which is God's" can be seen to mean when you pay your taxes to caesar pay with the applicable coins; when you are to pay your taxes to God, pay with the appropriate coins(in that case the acceptable temple currency) |

jom28gy: Followers of Jesus should be law abiding at all times, and not be in any form of debt (to the government or anybody). To the Government: 13 For the Lord’s sake, submit to all Human Authority—whether the king as head of state, 1 Peter 2:13 1 Peter 2:14 KJV Or unto Governors, as unto them that are SENT by him for the punishment of EVILDOERS, and for the praise of them that do WELL. To God: Mark 12:30 KJV And thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with ALL thy soul, and with ALL thy mind, and with ALL thy strength: this is the FIRST commandment. To People in general: Mark 12:31 KJV And the SECOND is like, namely this, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these (vs 30&31) Romans 13:8 KJV OWE NO MAN any thing, but to LOVE one another: for he that loveth another hath FULFILLED the law. May Jesus Bless You. |

davidinchrist:thanks for your contribution, but in one sentence, how do you summarized them? |
Re: Answer The Questions Please by davidinchrist(m): 7:54pm On May 17, 2020 |
jom28gy: Okay, As part of your perfect obedience to Jesus according to the gospels, be sure to obey the government of your state and country. May Jesus Bless You. |

it's a response concerning tax payment but some people over the years have used this as a form of defence mechanism to justify their actions |

Yes, we are commanded to keep lawful earthly law - Romans 13:3-5 Yet, we owe GOD everything, everything is His - Psalm 24:1-2, Revelation 4:11 In particular we can & should always: "What shall I render to the Lord For all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord. Now in the presence of all His people." - Psalm 116:12-15 "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 |

The true answer is in Chris's statement GIVE TO CEASER! The question that reasonably follows the understanding of the true meaning of this statement is therefore "What are those things that you can reasonably say and identify which Truly belong to Ceaser? Which would in turn lead to other reasonable questions like does this or that belong to Ceaser or some other person? Christ statement there is a big course of study if you truly want to acquire the true and complete understanding of it. |
