1 | Bible before interpetation into English | Jer 27:6 | dnewland | 170772 | ||
Is there anyway to see what scripture said before it was interpeted into English? Don't get me wrong I pay my taxes grudgingly. (Especially when gov spends 25 billion and it can't be accounted for) It just seems that Romans 13 contradicts many other scriptures in the Bible. Like Jesus and Pharisees when questioned about working or performing miracles on Sabbath, and Thou shall not murder in Ten commandments, which still no one here seems to refute. I m just asking which supercedes which when they conflict with one another. Or perhaps explain how they don't conflict? |

2 | Confusing | Jer 27:6 | dnewland | 170748 | ||
I guess my ultimate question in Romans 13 question is when do men obeying God's laws supercede man's when it's in conflict to God's law. ( for ex. in a hitler -style regime what if you were told to kill Christians. Would you have to obey Paul in Romans or half the Bible elswhere where it says to love your brother. ) How could Paul have stopped killing Christians, as law must have prescribed when he was Saul before his conversion and be Christ-like at same time.) Romans 13 seems to leave that out of the question, and would contradict us living out a Christian life making us choose things that would not be of God's will according to OT. (ten commandments) |

3 | pay or not to pay | Jer 27:6 | dnewland | 170727 | ||
So which is right not paying taxes to prevent murder, or paying taxes and accepting murder. |

4 | Explain Romans 13 | Jer 27:6 | dnewland | 170722 | ||
Tax Time? As a Christian I'm having a problem understanding what Paul is meaning in Romans 13. At first glance it seems pretty self explanatory. Pay your taxes and obey your leaders. Well for me it's not that simply. First question comes to my mind is if we take Romans 13 literally, would that not make America's beginnings a rebellion to God as at that time England was God's servant who we rebelled against. Hilter and the Saddam's of our world would be God's servants? Lastly, it seems if we obey Romans 13, then would that not contridict our duties of following the ten commandments where its says that shall not murder. Our taxes go to supporting infantcide.( murder of babies ). Would like some perspective on these thoughts or what Paul was meaning. |
