Jesus said to pay taxes, and at that time taxes went to Rome, the military power that was occupying Israel, and no one had elected representation.
Jesus at no point said to pay taxes. He said to give to Caesar what belongs to him. And give to the father what belongs to the father. The pharisees were trying to entrap him. Everything belongs to the father. He got around the trap without telling them to pay taxes.
Did income taxes exist anywhere in the world when Jesus made that statement? Be aware of the issue's more complicated than you think.
The “tax” he was talking about was the temple tax which was not paid to Rome but to the temple, “the sons are free” he only said to pay it in order to not offend them. Then God provided the money in the fishes mouth.
If it was not paid to Rome, then why did it have Caesar's image on it? And why did he say to give it to Caesar?
Haggai 2: 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
The image was Caesar’s.
Yeah well times have changed.
