Or, do you see God as merely the author of a religion (spiritual values), which has nothing to do with self-determination, self-government or freedom?

Though, I don't really know what your question is. If you believe God created time, then you would understand that he operates outside of it.

Does that not mean that you believe in the sovereignty of an authority, which is superior to, outside of and controlling you? If your answer to this is yes, then does this not contradict the fact that you are a being with volition?

Baldwin failed to mention that the entire story was not about taxes, and that it is about the hypocrisy of the religious leaders, who, according to their position, should not even had the coin in their possession! Perhaps I'll mention that in another blog post. The only time Jesus pays, or endorses paying taxes, is when he has Peter fish for the tax money. That was to avoid offending others, because Jesus did not come to the earth over taxes.

This probably made my week. I had never heard the verse about taxes applied in that way, before, and it makes a whole lot of sense. It's a whole ideology summed up in one sentence. Very insightful.

We that claim to follow the Way of Christ, and believe that He died for our sins and arose on the third day to defeat death, and He is our Lord and God, must die daily to the flesh and seek the things above. Though I agree with 80% of the free state systemology within the socio-political free state movement, I cannot deny that our God is a God of Agape not force. God speed your fellow brother Rev. Chadd N. Hatfield, M.A.C.C. Head Chaplain of the Huntington City Misson.
