Yeah, Jesus actually said you should pay taxes. Give Ceaser's things to Ceaser and God's things to God.
I've read an interesting book that suggests the apostle Paul, or Saul of Tarsus was a Roman plant, a double agent meant to divide the Christian sect.
From his sudden conversion to all subversive things he wrote in his letters, it seems like he's introduction subservience to Rome into the creed.
Read in that manner, he would be amazed that not only the christians embraced those aspects of his, but that they in time managed to become the main faith of the Roman empire and supercede it by a mile.
Interesting! What’s the book’s name?
It's called 'Alias Paulus' bij Thijs Voskuilen. Unfortunately it's not translated in english.
True, but he didn’t say that paying taxes would get you off the hook for helping your neighbor and taking care of the poor.
Yeah and taking care of each other ain’t Caesar’s, so he can get his grubby mitts off it.
You really think Jesus would be against things like free healthcare, income support, things like that? You think he'd rather people voted for politicians who promise to cut welfare? You count cutting welfare as helping your neighbour and taking care of the poor and needy? Because it looks a lot like making things harder for your neighbour and not giving a shit about the poor and needy from where I'm sitting.
I mean, vote selfishly if you're going to, but don't pretend that Jesus came with a message of "look after number one", "cut welfare" and "cancel programs that help the poor and needy". That's not biblical.
/s no see you're not getting it, you cut all that stuff, but you also volunteer for a couple hours on Sunday so that you get to feel good about yourself. Nevermind how we scale that up to cover everyone you silly billy
Well there's the grain dole but that was in Rone the city
