Caesar, Planned Parenthood & God
Jesus famously said: ‘Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and to God that which is God’s.’
Scholars have long debated the exact significance of this phrase. Certainly it was a brilliant, Houdini-like, escape from the trap that was set for him. He took a coin, showed them the face on the coin, and pointed out that it might not be so immoral after all to give Caesar taxes, given that the money they were using was distributed by Caesar anyway. But at the same time he made it clear that allegiance through all and above all was to God.
