The following is how the followers of Christ interacted with the government. And how the government interacted Christ followers. This is important, both must interact nicely for a Theocracy. Should a good Christian always obey the state? If so Christ should have immediately answered and cooperated with authorities in his times, and there are other accounts of followers standing up to the government. The following quotes have been attributed to always obeying the state Matthew 22 First this does indicate a clear line between the state (Caesar) and God But remember, this was a question to entrap Jesus, so the parable speaking Messiah might have given, an answer might warrant further examination. An interesting note, in Israelite tradition, nothing belongs to Caesar and everything belongs to God(1 ). So Jesus might not trust the authorities. |
