Those who claim Jesus didn’t have anything to say to Caesar not only dismiss 2000 Scriptures about justice, but also equate our government & its leaders w/ Rome. Really? I thought we were striving for democracy.
Some one said the church must care for the poor, not government. So you believe Social Security, Medicaid, roads, schools & gov regulation on price scalping are all socialism? When companies fail & are broke, why shouldn’t the church bail them out?
Jesus not only critiqued Caesar; he says all nations will be judged by how they treat the poor in Matthew 25.
Lastly, please know the argument that the church has nothing to say to government is deeply rooted in #SlaveholderReligion. It’s the same argument slave masters used against preachers who opposed slavery.
