Well ... in the great earthly ways, everything is up to being "disputed" ... that's just how humans roll.Here's MY take on it FWIW: Paragraph 1 is what he was talking about. There is God's "property" and humans took it upon themselves to create their own property such as governments and such. What His argument was about Caesar was that human creations are not God's creations and therefore he drew the line there. In other words, religion is not a justification to shirk the obligations of civilization. Wish I had more time to ponder this and provide a better answer, but I'm busy right now. Let's just say that the various Christian sects which broke away from Catholicism and went their own way are much like Jewish sects which similarly went with their own interpretations of things to the dismay of other groups. The intent of Jesus' lesson was pretty much a separation of church and state. And even more curious, Jesus never intended to create a church in the first place, less one that would be collecting its own taxes as a form of governance. :) |
