Yes, yes I do think Jesus would tell me to pay taxes to a government that I disagreed with if that was the law. Because he did. And others in the bible did too,

I'm not looking for an out, I just like to look at what the true meaning is, and Jesus never gave instruction one way or the other. He sidestepped a trap and showed them to be blasphemous idolators. (Were you even aware of that?  Did you know what the inscription on the coin said?)

Never doubted you paid them or were using this an excuse not to. You can look at the rest of the message. I'm simply pointing out that Jesus, in his own words, agreed that you should pay the tax.

Perhaps a new thread should be started.
