Christians required to pay taxes? Charity yes but taxation is debatable especially when it is unconstitutional. If this helps, a friend of mine works in Washington and he told me, if he didn't work, in a very good position, for the IRS, he'd not pay income tax either....
Yes paying taxes is required because not paying taxes is akin to stealing in the Christian viewpoint, at least the majority opinion.
People like Kent Hovind are in the minority and look what happened to him.
I disagree. The gouvernment at least in my country does terrible sins with the money. And you have a part in this sins if you pay the taxes complete.
Plus welfare, that makes more than the half of the German national budget is not commanded by the bible. Charity is a personal issue, which you decide on your own. Where is otherwise the reward?
Paying taxes is only obligated by the bible for
core gouvernmental tasks in order to make the society working.
I don't oppose to pay taxes in general, but actually it is stealing if some leftists politicians take away the hard earned money of righteous people and distribute it to lowlifes and muzzies in order to get more influence though this bribed voters.
This comes directly from the ten commandments and you have to put all sources together in order to get a judgement.
The gouvernment deserves no overstated respect. Actually they got their power from god and have act according to His directions. If they don't, we are not recommended to obey.
Not only the words of Jesus with the emperor and god. But also the statements of the moral law.
