Emperors are Temporary but Wu-tang is Forever

Summary

In this episode I explore why Jesus told the Pharisees to "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." with my good friend Nathan Elliott. Nathan is a ravenous researcher and always finds a new angle from which to view the bible.

Episode Description

In this episode I explore why Jesus told the Pharisees to "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's." with my good friend Nathan Elliott. Nathan is a ravenous researcher and always finds a new angle from which to view the bible. Jesus somehow manages to provide a politically correct answer while at the same time being subversively seditious towards the political and religious power structures of the day. There are many ways to interpret this exchange but at a minimum perhaps Jesus asserts that we can interact with the system of the world without forgoing our ultimate allegiance to the system of the Creator.
