Jesus, Marx, Or Obama; Who Are You Going To Believe?
FEBRUARY 4, 2012 BY FLOYD AND MARY BETH BROWN 3 COMMENTS
 
President Obama has hit a new low. By promoting his reasoning for hiking taxes on the rich at the NationalPrayer Breakfast, he diminished the seriousness of his proposals and manipulated Jesus’ teachings for his own political purposes.

Listening to Obama talk about taxation almost as a form of worship was beyond the bounds as he said, “For me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that for unto whom much is given, much shall be required.” He was quoting and distorting the Gospel of Luke and the Parable of the Faithful Servant. And, as Christians, we are greatly grieved by what Obama has done.

Obama is quoting a small portion of a lengthy answer given by Christ in response to a question by St. Peter. Here is a more complete version of Christ’s dialogue from the New International Version:

When asked by the Pharisees if it was proper to pay taxes Jesus held up a coin and said, "Who image is this?"

"Ceasar's." they replied.

Jesus said, "Then render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and render unto God those things which belong to God."

...

...

Apparently Barack Obama fancies himself as Caesar.

Jesus any day. At least Jesus was a carpenter and had real world experience. He didn't become the Jesus we know until 30.

All libs have owebuma shrines. They spend all their free time there worshipping, lighting candles, and chanting bumper sticker slogans.
