"for he had great possessions" - The Things that Are God's




Around Tokyo


The Things that Are God's

Christ Jesus said: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's (Mat 22:21)."

The things that belong to a king mean coins and money.  And the things that belong to the God is life.  Therefore, it seems that what Christ Jesus meant by this saying is to give up and return money to a king and it is natural that a man dies, giving up and returning his life to the God.

However, from the teaching of Christ Jesus, money is another form of Satan.  And, Satan distributes money through a king or a government.  So, what Christ Jesus said should be interpreted as "Render therefore unto Satan the things which are Satan's."

Or, otherwise, it is thought that whatever kings possess has been given by the God to the kings.  The Bible says that all the gold, silver, etc. in this world belong to the God.  Therefor the kings are requested to return coins and money to the God.  But what if coins and money are other forms of Satan?  Could we return coins and money that are essentially from Satan to Satan or God?

All the gold and silver in this world belongs to the God.  But Satan invented coins and money from the gold and silver to distribute them among the human beings through kings and governments.

The word of Christ Jesus might simply mean to pay tax to a king or a government and pay your life to the God through faith.  But as it is concerned with money, another form of Satan, it is a little complicated.

Probably, we have to give up use of money to get rid of Satan.  And surely, we have to give up our life to the God when we die.

Mar 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mar 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Mar 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
