Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg lambasted Christians for supporting President Trump.
“Trump makes a big show of supporting religious freedom, but ignores Christian obligations,” the Mayor said. “It was Jesus who pointed out that money was the domain of Caesar and that it was our obligation to render it unto Caesar. Well, in this day and age ‘Caesar’ is the government. It is our obligation to hand over our money to the government so it can do the charitable work that Jesus asked us to do. But what has Trump done? He’s pushed a tax cut through Congress that reduces the amount of money that the government takes out of our income.”
“Worse, Trump has initiated policies that encourage people to take jobs they’d rather not take,” Buttigieg complained. “The number of people receiving unemployment benefits has declined under his administration. So has the number of people on food stamps. If we want to be true to our Christian values we should support pooling all of the country’s wealth so the government can assure a fair distribution to all of God’s children.”

LOL. Excellent.
I just love it when anti-Christians like Robert O'Roarke (wasn't that the name of the sergeant in F Troop?) question the authenticity of others' walk with Christ. By, all means, Robert, show us The Way. And The Truth and The Life while you're at it. Heaven knows we can all use some help in that regard.
Yes, correct.
But I don’t think that He was saying that all money belongs to the government as our socialists would have us believe.
I’m sure He wasn’t. He never got caught up in political or legal technicalities. He was kind of side-stepping the question. Well, side-stepping isn’t the right word. Re-molding it into something more important might be a better way of putting it.
Thanks John Semmens.
