There has been a great deal of anger over taxes lately. Some feel the government has the right to take any amount they see fit as long as it goes toward the public good, and others feel the government has limited rights in taking our hard earned income. Remember what Jesus said concerning the Roman tax on Jews, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and unto God the things that are God's". This confirms he supported paying taxes, but it's important to note that Jesus first asked, whose picture was on the coin? It was Caesar's who was still living, but whose picture is on our coins? Dead presidents! The only thing you can render a dead guy is respect. In 1864 the treasury adopted the motto "In God we trust" on currency. Had Jesus been given one of these coins his saying "render unto God the things that are God's" might be understood in a whole new light*.*The founders understood it was divine providence that forged this great nation. All good things came from God, and all good things belonged to God, this included money. The inscription on the Roman coin means dictator forever. Hell must be full of them.
