Story Time Jesus

He said render unto Caesar what is Caesars. Basically they print the money, its theirs. Give them their due. Because even an evil government does basic things to take care of its people like keeping them safe from invaders and enforcing good laws like punishing those that steal or kill.

It is a two part Caveat.

What is the second part that you left out?

That’s what I’m talking about

Oh, that question was for "lokiare" ?
The other memer that made the comment at the top.

If that's what you were talking about, why omit the 2nd part, and leave it out?
Just curious?

Because they want to claim that Jesus was a statist that would have tax people in order to pay for some government services and projects.

The second part is you obey authority so "it will go well with you" meaning you won't get arrested go to jail or be otherwise punished.

Buzzer Sound. incorrect. Thanks for playing.

MoFuzzero13 beat you to the correct answer.
It's in all four gospels a bit different, yet concurs with MoFuzzero13 when he states
"Jesus said Render onto Caesar what is Caesars, and render unto God what belongs to God"

If Taxes excised and collected belongs to the Romans, what is it that Belongs to God ?

Pretty much like the Golden Rule has two parts;
yet most Libweirdos only like to use the secular half of it,
often as a cudgel to beat Christians with.

You're literally arguing with the Bible bro.
You obey authority so they don't punish and hurt you.
What belongs to God is your faith, trust, and obedience.

That is quite the imagination...

Romans 13:1-5

"Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake."

1 Peter 2:13-17

"Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 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. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king."

Titus 3:1-2

"Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men."

Hebrews 13:17

"Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

Looks like you need to go back to Sunday school. This is a very basic

Your Reverend might be pleased with your natural inclination to study and learn said basics.

If they didn’t pay taxes, then the Romans would have crucified them. Jesus said Render onto Caesar what is Caesar and render unto god what belong to god… it’s basically means that the Jews had to pay taxes because they were forced to pay taxes. So you’re saying Nazis weren’t that bad because they did basic things, too…🙄

I'd appreciate your refraining from speaking out of context on my behalf. Thank you.

Maybe what Jesus simply meant was to reciprocate God's Love for You, which belongs to God,
to render that Love in return to God with All your Heart & Soul, Praise The Lord,
and to Worship the Creator, for everyone individually is His creation.

Not to worship Man or Man's schemes, yet comply with, and understand their place
in ones priorities. Just maybe?

Allegedly:
Give to Rome what is the Romans, as long as that is your 2nd priority.
Do both.
Love and Honor God first, & take care of the Business of the day 2nd.
Jesus words, that you used half of in the meme. Incomplete & Out of context.
Jesus Words in the Gospel, not mine. PTL

I’m an atheist.. my biggest fear is Islam.

Congratulations.
Quick question. If you're an atheist, why must you make memes using an artists rendition of
an image of Jesus ? Does this help you in your atheism ?

One might find it ironic, that one makes generalizations about Nazis and Jews, while giving false attribution to other memers regarding their opinion on such, yet the fact remains that the
Nazi leader was, like some have self-identified here, an atheist.

Most of the Western World has good cause to fear Islamic Terrorists,
such as Hamas and Hezbollah etc.,
and yet at the same time, there is nothing to fear in our Muslim brothers in general.

Socialists use Jesus quotes all the time. They misquote him. And Islam isn’t only a religion in a modern sense . It’s a way of life. Muslims will impose their laws and traditions upon others. That basically make us second class citizens.

What of your own personal misquote in quotes ?

Are you dense? I’m saying he didn’t say that.

Look at your meme you posted, and see the quote you falsely gave the cartoon image.

You seem to be pretty dense. I said he didn’t say it…. I never quoted him accurately

Am I dense ?
Not nearly as dense as someone else on this thread

I’m just pointing out out that Jesus wasn’t the socialist that socialists made him out to be.

Well, apparently certain aspects are palatable to socialists,
like the first comment whom has not commented ever since.
They quote what supports their point, yet do not include the full thought nor concept conveyed.
As, then it requires a commitment in which they are unwilling or unable to ascend.

Jewish Jesus is not whom an atheist, Islamic terrorist, Jew, Nazi, nor socialist make Him out to be, no?
Ah, to be so misunderstood might be a little disheartening for Him, one may imagine.

I never debate on the internet

Most bots concur

Outside of all the evil the Nazi's did (war, murder, theft, genocide), I'm sure they also arrested criminals, built infrastructure, and did the things all governments were created for.
Alternatively let's say you didn't pay taxes in Nazi Germany, what do you think would happen?
To contrast, North Korea puts you in a work camp for life if you don't worship the leader, but what they don't do is mutilate their children. Which country is worse the US where child mutilation is legal and sometimes court enforced, or a country where you are forced to worship a guy?

I don’t “worship” anyone. What are you talking about? And you’re arguing that the Nazis weren’t that bad because they built things and arrested criminals….? They murdered defenseless disabled people under the guise of eugenics.

No, I'm arguing why the Bible says obey the government that's over you and pay taxes:
1. they do some necessary things, no matter how evil.
2. If you don't you'll have a hard time.

...and they marvelled at Him.
