PAYING TAXES TO CAESAR

Matthew 22:15-22

15 Then the Pharisees went out

AND LAID PLANS TO TRAP HIM IN HIS WORDS.

16 They sent their disciples to Him

Along with the Herodians.

'Teacher,' they said,

'We know You are a man of Integrity

And that You Teach the Way of God

In accordance with the Truth.

You aren't Swayed by men,

Because You pay no attention to who they are.

17 Tell us then,

What is Your Opinion?

Is it right to Pay Taxes to Caesar or not?'

18 BUT JESUS, KNOWING THEIR EVIL INTENT,

Said, 'YOU HYPOCRITES,

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TRAP ME?

19 Show Me the coin used for Paying the Tax.'

They brought him a denarius,

20 And He asked them,

'Whose Portrait is this?

And whose Inscription?'

21 'Caesar's,' they replied.

Then He said to them,

'GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR'S,

AND TO GOD WHAT IS GOD'S.'

22 When they heard this,

They were Amazed.

So they left Him and went away.

(Matthew 22:15-22)

Today, the godless lay Traps for Christians.

They claim that we are “Haters”

For not accepting Homosexuality as normal human behavior;

That we are Radical by agreeing with the Word of God

That this is Perverse and headed for the Judgment of God.

They claim we are “Haters”

For not accepting a woman's right

To Abort her unborn child,

And saying that this is Murder before God.

Yet, their augment is with God and His Word;

A Futile argument in the End.
