Is tax a sin?

It means most people in that day saw them as the thieves they were.
But, today people don't know the true laws.
Most taxes are illegal including the Federal Reserve.
"To coin money."

Everyone working for them is yes.

Just like the courts would convict people that work for the mob and so on, or a getaway driver. All he did was drive the vehicle. 😉

The Pharisees must not have liked them either.
I'd say they didn't like tax collectors.
Seems you can't connect things.

The Pharisees wanted to discredited Jesus any way they could.
So, they would use anything and everything they could think of.

Just because most people saw them that way doesn't mean they were, that is a gross generalization. Can you show me where the Bible says that being a tax collector is a sin?

Your analogy also fails, they wouldn't convict them if they were forced to drive the car or unaware if their was a crime in progress. Buy that same thought process you should convict the gas station for selling them gas, the car manufacture for making the car and so on.

So if everyone in the IRS is a sinner then what about the people that built the building, supply them with electricity to do their sin, the mail person for bringing the sinners the mail and for you paying your taxes to support this sin?

So how about you address the rest of my post or is it that I'm correct and you are just as much of a sinner as those you are passing judgment on?

You sinner. 😛

Please provide something more then just your opinion. Not that I like tax collectors.

It's not my opinion. My God says so and the Constitution backs Him up.

Taxes are a method of ensuring everyone in a given society is helping that society be sustained.

Jesus paid his taxes and encouraged others to do so...(possibly)...St. Paul encourages Christians to take an active role in society and this includes taxation.

Is taxation theft? No, it is a charge for belonging to a society- if you don't like it. Leave.

How are taxes against the Constitution?

So, why do you reject God's One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church?

BTW when discussing the New Testament tax collectors we should remember the objection that the Pharisees had to them is that they were collecting taxes for an invading pagan state which they argued had stolen sovereignty over Jewish land. They did not object to the Temple Tax. King David had a system of taxation, when was he condemned for it?

Buddha boy? Thank you!

I have read it, and Grand-Moff-Gav is right on the money. I think you haven't read it, and are just making stuff up.😐

It is Paul, not "Saint" Paul. Unless you're a member of the
idol-worshipping, cult known as Catholicism.

And, no, Jesus would be against this government. They call themselves Christians and are not.

Yes, it is.

Point me in the direction of a place I can start my own country, without any interference, and I'm gone. 😉

It IS saint Paul because he IS a saint and yes I am a member of said "cult".

How do you know what Jesus would be for? What do you possibly know about it? You have no history to your belief...other than a poorly translated bible commsissioned by a very morally corrupt king. (Not that that necessarily makes the KJV invalid ofcourse but it will be good for you to remember when you start on the "corrupt Pope" rant that you probably had drilled into your brain by your pastor).

The Moon?

Or you could join the Quakers...or get a boat and go live in international waters.

I don't even see scriptures from you. At least you could show a quote from the constitution that shows that taxes are wrong.

Just overthrow a government and then have all the people just give you money to pay for the things that they need.
