1 | Bible before interpetation into English | Jer 27:6 | dnewland | 170778 | ||
I have and will again,... I would think "thou shall not kill" in Ten commandments, would be enough of a contradiction. Abortion funded by taxation would imply to me that America is murdering and/or accompliance to, through support of Government.( God else only knows what other corruption may be going on.) I guess the contradiction I see in this example could be summed up like this." God says" Thou shalt not murder" but Paul says support a evil government because they do God's will." I understand Paul times, I also understand Paul was the authority and definately had a loyality to it, bred into him. Even God himself asked Paul why he was persecuting him before his conversion on the way to Damascus. After conversion, Paul would have been breaking the law by turning to a disciple and neglecting his duty to persecute Christians. Wouldn't he? Maybe he retired? Does any of the four gospels back up what Paul is saying to the extent Paul explains. Yes Jesus did say give to Caesar what is Caeser and to God what is God's. To me the key term there is give to "God what is God's". Are you God's or Caesars? What have you chosen? As a Christian I'm God's, not Caesers, Caeser is long gone anyway. Are we to interpet Jesus the same as Paul in Romans 13? Paul goes a little further than Jesus did. Another Question? If I did all my trade in Gold or bartering which doesn't have US markings on it then would I have to pay taxes? There is a dollar out there backed by gold I believe its called the Liberty dollar. See it isn't as clearcut as you think? Many, many questions. |

Dnewland: I'm not sure what you're getting at. If your point is that you are against abortion, the vast majority of forum members already agree with you. If your point is that the parts of the NT written by Paul are any less inspired than the words of Jesus, then you are mistaken. If your point is that the mission of the church, the body of Christ, is to overthrow the government, then I must have missed something when I read the NT. If your point is that you choose not to pay your income tax, then have at it. Let us know how that comes out. If you're willing to go to prison for non-payment of income tax, go ahead. If not, then it's all talk. Grace to you, Kalos |
