Big girl Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The bible says give to Caesar what is due to Ceasar. (Taxes). One of disciples was a tax collector I believe. Please read the bible before responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big girl Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 My faith is completely in Christ. I cant answer for anyone else. What's happening in the "world" does not bother me, because I look at things in the spiritual realm. That is why I have a peace that defies all understanding...all you guys do is complain, try praying instead since you guys (conservatives) are so religious... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullets13 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The bible says give to Caesar what is due to Ceasar. (Taxes). One of disciples was a tax collector I believe. Please read the bible before responding. And if "Caesar" misuses those taxes and you suffer for it while those who choose not to work benefit??? It's cool because "Caesar" is really a good tax collector who is only criticized because of his race. Do I have that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big girl Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 God told the Romans to give Ceasar what is due to him period. He also says that we should help the poor and needy. When God tells you to do something, dont question it just do it and you will be blessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROJANSWIN Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He also said people who commit homosexual acts should be stoned to death, that aborting a baby is killing, and that people would be given over as slaves to other people!! Still want to take scriptures and use them to prove political points?? I know you won't actually respond, but will just throw out some random fact or ask some unrelated question so I guess this is rhetorical.

LumRaiderFan Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 God told the Romans to give Ceasar what is due to him period. He also says that we should help the poor and needy. When God tells you to do something, dont question it just do it and you will be blessed. Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees and Herodians when He made this statement. Mathew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. He also said give to God what is God's, strange that you left that out. If you are going to use Scripture, at least quote it right. The intent was never to give to Caeser and trust him to give it to God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big girl Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 We were talking about taxes thats why i didnt mention tithing. The tithes are GODs and we sow into the church to further God's mission. ( like helping the poor and needy) Do any of you go to church or read the bible? Those things trojan said are in the old testament we are living under the new covenant so.....according to the bible we pay taxes and we give 10% of our money to the church.

No No No...you said: "God told the Romans to give Ceasar what is due to him period." You should actually read the Bible before you quote it.

Big girl Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Whatever. God wants us to pay taxes and pay tithes. Do you disagree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumRaiderFan Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Whatever. God wants us to pay taxes and pay tithes. Do you disagree? Tithing is Biblical...taxes are man's law. Jesus was simply saying follow man's law IF it doesn't conflict with God's law. I can guarantee you that God would not want tax money being used to murder babies.

stevenash Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Big Girl- I am not particularly conversant with the Bible but could you point me toward the part that said God wanted half of the people to pay taxes but that other half should not?

stevenash Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 the question was why did all three major networks, for a number of consecutive nights criticize then President Bush for not stopping in New Orleans but give Mr. Obama a pass for not visiting the border.

NorthoftheBorder Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Bible also says if you don't work you don't eat. Hummmm! And it also says that if your child cannot be controlled and is a danger to society, the whole community should take it outside the gates and stone it to death!! But here in the good ole USA the elderly live in fear of teenagers and young adults in some communities!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
