Render unto Caesar: A most misunderstood New Testament passage
Posted on 03.16.10 by Thomas L. Knapp
Source: LewRockwell.Com Author: Jeffrey F. Barr “[B]y His enigmatic response, did Jesus really mean for His followers to provide financial support (willingly or unwillingly) to Tiberius Caesar — a man, who, in his personal life, was a pedophile, a sexual deviant, and a murderer and who, as emperor, claimed to be a god and oppressed and enslaved millions of people, including Jesus’ own? The answer, of course, is: the traditional, pro-tax interpretation of the Tribute Episode is simply wrong. Jesus never meant for His answer to be interpreted as an endorsement of Caesar’s tribute or any taxes.” (03/17/10) Link: http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig11/barr-j1.1.1.html Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
