  5. Matthew 22:17 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

  6. Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?

  7. Matthew 22:19-21 Show Me the tax money.” So they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

  8. Matthew 22:19-21 And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

  9. Matthew 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

  24. Acts 4:18-20 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.

  25. Acts 4:18-20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

  28. The Manhattan Declaration The release of The Manhattan Declaration (an ecumenical document addressing the issues of life, marriage, and religious liberty) has already generated significant discussion. Since I have been on the receiving end of many questions concerning it, I thought it best to address it directly. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  29. The declaration reads in part as follows: “We are Christians who have joined together across historical lines of ecclesial differences… …to speak and act in defense of these truths.” I was present at the meetings in Manhattan in October when the draft of this document was presented. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  30. I listened carefully and was stirred by the ensuing discussions. I share the concerns expressed in the document. I also have respect for those who wrote the paper and also for many who have subsequently signed it. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  31. Why then have I chosen not to append my name as one of the initial signers? Because of my convictions about the nature of the Gospel, and the importance of Christian co-belligerency being grounded in it. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  32. This is what I wrote to Chuck Colson: “Thank you for sending me the amended document. I care deeply about these issues, but I cannot in conscience sign on with those with whom I have fundamental disagreements on the nature of the Gospel. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  33. Are we wise to lay aside crucial historical differences of eternal significance so as to secure temporal advantages? George Smeaton...observes, “To convert one sinner from his way is an event of greater importance than the deliverance of a whole kingdom from temporal evil.” Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )

  34. I do not believe it is possible to embrace the premises of ecumenical strategy and still draw the conclusions of evangelical orthodoxy. The necessary co-belligerence, as far as I’m concerned, can never be rooted in a Gospel other than that which has been given to us. Alistair BeggPastor, writer (1952 - )
