OBEY. DO NOT RESIST. OBEY.

That pastor may want to reread the Bible. Jesus was a rabble rouser.

Eh.

Anti-Roman imperialist.

Pro Jewish theocracy.

The Jewish theocracy was involved in his murder. So, he apparently said and did a lot of things they didn’t agree with.

This is the opposite of what the biblical Jesus did.

Says pay taxes to Rome.

Calls religious leaders a brood of vipers.

No, he pointed to Roman coins and said to a Roman spy to “Render unto Caesar’s what is Caesar’s,” and was eventually executed for treason and being generally obnoxious to the Romans.

A sceptical sort might note that, to a rebellious territory that would launch a massive, religiously rooted revolt a few decades after his assumed death, while his new cult had spread like wildfire, “What is Caesar’s” might have two answers to a conquered subject and a Roman.

You might also ask yourself if the Roman Church might have downplayed certain aspects of his life while proselytizing and becoming part of the imperial establishment.
