I have read it. There is no government in existence today that qualifies. They are murderous and tyrannical, every single one. Were you asleep for covid? Are you not aware that the governments of the world are still pushing deadly injections? Or wars around the globe? How is it anyone's duty to finance pure evil committing atrocities against the people, wherever they may be?

🎯 #gangsterment

What the Romans did with Chistians back then was definitely “unambiguous”. 👎

Religion of all kinds was clearly always the right hand of local #gangsterment - there to control the #sheeple at their own expense, and get compensated for that, while being excluded from taxation themselves. 🤑

So, of course, its scriptures would say that the territory, #sheeple livestock on it and anything they have of marketable value is “Ceasar’s”. 🤕

Remaining question nowadays seems whether Bitcoin is also “Ceasar’s”, since bitcoins are tecnically within the Internet, rather than local territory. 🤔

That the coins were minted with his likeness is what is meant by "...what is Ceasar's". Its not a endorsement of taxes. Jesus never said to pay them, nor did He ever pay them Himself. And that He never said to NOT pay them, as the other person put forth, is a moot argument. Years back when I first started reading the Bible, it took me no further than halfway through The Book of Matthew to conclude that Jesus was, in His words and deeds, what we would call an anarchist (or voluntaryist if one wants to avoid the baggage of the demonization of anarchism in 'mainstream' thought) today. He stood firm against ALL unjust and corrupt power structures, spoke boldly against them in public, and made no apologies for doing so. He told His disciples to arm themselves for self defense, with a weapon that was illegal under Roman law for civilians. He practiced His ministry in open defiance of Pharissaic law, when He chose, where He chose. I see nothing in His behavior to indicate anything but Him being an anarchist. As for religion, Jesus' ministry was nothing like what Christianity is today, if for no other reason than, as you mentioned, tax breaks (ie a modern 30 Pieces of Silver) for Christianity, Inc. That is seeking Earthly authorization to practice one's religion. 501c3 'churches' are nothing but agents of the stare, which is why the tax exemption can be withdrawn for preaching politics from the pulpit.

Quite right!

Even uncoined #gold #bullion is clearly not Ceasar’s. The latter just pilfer it at will for their purposes throughout history, mostly to fund mass murders and armed robberies, as you mentioned.

Among the #sheeple, Jesus was certainly an anarchist.

I don’t remember from Christian #Bible reading being narrated in the third person how God told Jesus to go on his mission. Was it an authoritarian order, or more of a request like, “Son, would you do me a favour? Go down there please as one of my sheeple and get yourself executed in a torturous way for their sins by their imperial Roman gangsterment.”

Was that narrated by the writers, besides as Jesus saying that he was sent by his father?

Seems uncertain whether Jesus was a complete anarchist within his hierarchy, 🤔 but as a person he certainly was vis a vis the Roman #gangsterment.

Regarding the last paragraph, yes as regards to the physical world and His stance on Earthly authority, that is where I am coming from in my argument to the affirmative. As for the non-physical heirarchy, I see no conflict between anarchy and submission to God's Law (hence the Anarcho-Christian / Biblical Anarchy subsets of Christianity). When it comes down to it, God's Law and Natural Law are essentially one in the same.
