When I am forced to pay for health insurance for someone else that is theft. BTW, I'm sure they are having to pay for abortions also.

So how do you square this with Jesus' saying give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar? Secondly, I disagree with your assessment that the government is forcing me to pay for health insurance. I have received much more in medical care than I have ever paid into the government to cover health insurance. I am happy to pay for the coverage. I just found it surprising that the BC government collects premiums directly from us.

You have an option to pay for insurance? You may be 'happy' to pay for it but that doesn't mean you have choice.

Give to Caesar what is rightfully his. When the government takes what isn't their's that is government sanctioned theft and they will answer to God.

I believe wholeheartedly with Your position on the unconstitutionality of our socialist healthcare system.
I believe that in a righteous society Christians would be taking care of the poor instead of pouring their "tithes" into a system that is "enlarging" itself
ie "churches". (reminds me of Hell)
I also believe we should render unto Caesar.
I just am not sure what is Caesar's...
Are You?

What is Ceasar's exactly in a socialistic setting ?

Bro Scott,
That is the $64,000.00 question.

If You see a qrease-covered young man, driving a dark blue Chevy 6-10,
that's probably my son, Joseph. He's been in Jackson a month now. He's 24 years old and just moved out on his own.

He'd be welcome to come to our church. PM me his number and I'll invite him.

My wife and I are on Medicare. $93.50 is deducted from her Social Security check and also from my Social Security check each month to cover Medicare. I also receive a pension check from GE. I retired at 60 after 32 years there. Each month $208.00 is deducted from my pension check for a supplemental health care insurance policy called United Health Care.

So, for two people, our total healthcare insurance (Medicare plus a supplement) is $395 per month.

Bro Scott,

Joseph works in Jackson but has been driving in from Mobile each morning. He stays with his girlfriends Sister and Bro-in-law there. But he works all around Jackson.
Thanks for the invite anyway. I'm hoping my husband will be working down that way soon so we can meet.
