What happened to “Render onto Caesar those things that are Caesar’s, render onto God the things that are God’s.”? Seems to me that Jesus has said that there are both laws of God and civil laws both of which must be obeyed. NOw if a civil law conflicts with God’s law then God’s law is primary. However, civil law say that there is a method of immigrating in a legal manner. This doesn’t violate God’s law. God’s law would say treat him kindly, it doesn’t say “Don’t ship him home!”
Civil law should never super cede Gods law. Thats why we don't vote democrat...their total platform is anti-10 commandants...All of them..murder the unborn, covet your neighbors goods, wife and servants, keep God out of the public square, steal from the people to give to your friends, what commandment do the democrat party obey.....
As one reads scripture, we also get pictures in our heads of the scene we are reading about...I get the picture in my head of the Caesar moment as some smart alec trying to trip up Jesus...He looked the guy in the eye and said who's picture is on that coin, the answer Caesars, in slight disgust the questioner was told to give it to Caesar as it had his picture it.....I just don't see it as a rule that we must all obey the government...we have no Caesar's.
That's what I was wondering. Last time I checked, a prelate who wanted the laws of the land to be squared off with God's law is a theocrat at heart.
