the Jesus Manifesto: Give what to Caesar?

    Good article.


    What is rightfully Caesar's? What is rightfully God's? I would side that things fall under the latter category. Hence, my blog title.

    Jason,


    Thanks so very much for your insightful article. I feel like this is something I can share with others to explain a bit more about my faith and convictions.

    "it is fundamentally a challenge to the vision of reality the powers would push upon his people and a call, I believe, for his followers to seek to disentangle themselves from the web of power politics and economics." Amen. Amen. Amen. Any reality other than that Proclaimed by Jesus to be obviously all around us for all to see, is a lie. Hence my favorite story (outside the Gospel) is "The Emperor's New Clothes." But today our economy is built on factories and workers producing such clothing and other unreal products and laws pushing his people to keep silent in the constant procession of lies. O that our children would say the emperor is naked and not have to die to keep the lie before us.

    Thorough article. Thanks for making a more interesting review of what does it mean to surrender to Caesar - surrender to God.
