>Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's
What did he mean by this?
Don't be a reactionary that overthrows the government every time something against God is done. Obey the laws, and govern yourself into being a good person.
If an aristocrat demands taxes and you don't have enough money to give, let him rape your wife in front of you

ROMAN'D
It was a moral lesson about both greed and civics. He was telling people not to concern themselves money except to provide for one's self and family as well as telling people to be good citizens when it is just to do so. He killed two birds with one stone. At least that's what I take from it.
>Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, render unto God what is God's
In reference to taxation, which is not of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Basically, a godly man should have no attatchment to material wealth, rather spiritual wealth, and so when Caesar asks for the coins with his head on, you should have no qualms about giving them to him, as such things are useless to anyone, upon death.

He was basically saying "You can't catch me out in such an obvious trap, guys, lol, try again later."

Sounds like a faggot communist

Serve your kings, for they are valid rulers.

"You are Jews, stop using Roman currency. Return the coinage to Rome and their economy will become devalued."
It means pay your taxes and be a good goy

Absolutely wrong. And one or two of you who's half wrong.
Essentially Jesus is half evading the question, while half subtly attacking Rome. The earlier traditions of Aramaic roughly translate "render" into a very strong "give back to". As in Jesus was saying "give back to the Emperor what is the Emperor's, and to the Lord that which is the Lord's".
Jesus is saying "through out all the filthy gentile things", such as their money, government, soldiers, and people; and "give back to the Lord what is the Lord's" (an Israel wiped clean of all foreigners)

The Romans should fuck off back to Rome. Then of course, liberal nu-male cucks distorted Jesus's message into being as cucked as they are.
