Hello,

Yes, as you stated above, Christians are to give to Caesar what is
Caesar's. The apostle Paul also adds more details at Ro 13:1,2,

"1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there
is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities
that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels
against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and
those who do so will bring judgment on themselves." (NIV)

Concerning just how fast we may go over it, in my opinion one shouldn't
continually look at the speedometer in order to go EXACTLY at or under
the speed limit. Such type driving could cause accidents. And I have
heard (from the grapevine) that the law usually allows one to go over a
few MPH. I would assume this is because for one thing not ALL
speedometers are calibrated perfectly.

At any rate, it is up to each ones conscience on how they obey the laws
of the land. But true Christians should try to obey them the best they
can. (see also Titus 3:1)


Sincerely, James

Teaching in Parables
And He had another reason for teaching in parables. Among the multitudes
that gathered about Him, there were priests and rabbis, scribes and elders,
Herodians and rulers, world-loving, bigoted, ambitious men, who desired
above all things to find some accusation against Him. Their spies followed
His steps day after day, to catch from His lips something that would cause
His condemnation, and forever silence the One who seemed to draw the world
after Him. The Saviour understood the character of these men, and He
presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring
His case before the Sanhedrim. In parables He rebuked the hypocrisy and
wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in figurative
language c
