JESUS OF NAZARETH

ILLEGAL-TAX PROTESTER

By Ned Netterville

Rome executed Jesus for teaching his followers that paying taxes violates God’s law. The number of his disciples was increasing daily as he worked miracles of healing among the poor. Thus, Jesus had become a serious threat to Rome’s revenues in Judea and Galilee.

Pontius Pilate was the Roman procurator of revenues for Judea, a position analogous to a District Director of the Internal Revenue Service in the United States. He dare not allow a notorious tax resister to continue preaching inflammatory anti-tax rhetoric in his imperial-tax territory, lest he lose his lofty position--and his head. So, he crucified Jesus.

1. To take this far more seriously than it deserves...

has this Ned Nettererer never heard of Mark 12:14-17?

14And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

15Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

16And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

17And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.


On edit: So, basically, Jesus specifically said, "Pay your taxes." And not only that, he was all for paying one's taxes to a foreign occupier, much less a sovereign government.
