How do they know he said nothing? Just because it was in the bible doesn't mean he supported or against it. I am thinking how he lived his life I can't see how he would support it.

Humans are imperfect beings. All fall short of true forgiveness.

God recognizes the power of state. When Jesus was persecuted, he did not fight the law even though it was unjust, he subjected himself to the full extent of the laws judgement.
Murder is one thing, capital punishment administered by the law of the land is another. It may seem contradictory, but it is not if you acknowledge states have governing powers over its people.

The whole 'render unto ceasar' thing is an interpretation.
The context of that actual quote specifically has to do with taxes - as in, should jews have to pay taxes to the Romans?
Anything outside of that context is pure speculation.

I was born a Christan, more specially I was born a Catholic. I am just not a very good one. I don't think I believe in god.
Are you telling me you understand Jesus's thinking? Honestly?

Can you please explain to me how you reconcile your stance with your religious belief? Where in the New Testament does Jesus support killing anyone? I'm not a Christian but it was my understanding Jesus was all about forgiveness and loving your enemy.
Christ divided state and religion. He was against abortion but said nothing about getting rid of abortionists.

So he talks to you and you actually hear him? You just think you hear him. If you hear him then you probably have a chemical imbalance that needs to be addressed otherwise I am calling you a liar.
