Yes... and that was because we all have ceasar's name and inscription tattooed on our forehead, wasn't it?

Wow..you are right. Jesus NEVER used something like a parable as an example of a larger issue. NEVER. Right on dude.


Awww.. don't like literalism when it's not backing you up?

That's okay. Happens to a lot of people...

...but even taking your "parable" angle and giving it more credit than I would on my own - it still doesn't apply in the least. Not only do I not have caesar's name and inscription upon my right hand, or upon my forehead - neither do I have any name or inscription of any worldly or government power upon my heart, either; it is not to there that it is given.

If I then ask myself "whose name and inscription appear thereon" - it appears I am to give my heart to myself alone, and to God.

Perhaps when Paul observed that he became as one without law, but not without the law of God - perhaps it was to me and mine that he spoke of ministering among. Disregard for worldly authorities is nowhere near unprecedented... and Paul set the whopping line at "however it goes, dude."
