Ah, that would certainly explain the "render unto Caesar" passage, you think? ...and later where Greg made a fool of himself that all people had to submit to all rulers even Muslim ones. Let every person be subject to governing authorities. God has appointed those who exist in authority. Rulers are only a terror to your bad conduct. Would you have no fear of him who is in authority? Do what is good and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your own good. If you do wrong, be afraid. He does not wear his weapon for show. He is a servant of God to execute his wrath on the wrong-doer. For the same reason, you must also pay taxes, respect and honor to all who are due. One can only feel pity for a kook that believes these are the inspired words of a creator. The entire Roman ruling class would have been out of a job if they did not jump ship and join with the rebel Christians. The early Christians probably did not care but were happy to see the strife end no matter how willing they were to die. It was good business later marching back to the Holy Land to get more and more plunder and loot for Holy Roman Mother Church.
