Bible Question:
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. |
Bible Answer: Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, was His servant ... He puts the good, bad and ugly in power. Just becuase our forefathers did something wrong or right, it doesn't mean we can do wrong. |
