The only two reasons I couldn’t think of not paying my taxes are 1) our military!!!! and 2) what Christ said about giving to Ceasar...
If you did decide not to, this might make you feel better about your two concerns:
1. If you want to support the military, there are other more direct ways to do it rather than giving the gubmint your tax dollars...which goes to countless other programs that are wasteful and perhaps, even sinful.
2. In Matt. 28:18, Jesus also said “All authority in heaven and in earth has been given to me.” I firmly believe that, when man’s laws are in conflict with God’s laws, we err on the side of God’s law. And since our taxes are being used to fund terrorists and abortions, we have every right to withhold. Submission to authority in the Bible is often taken out of context—it is often being written specifically to Christians regarding leaders of their churches. What Jesus said about taxes meant that you should give Caesar what belongs to him. Render unto God what is God’s...that was the other part of that quote. Well, it’s all God’s—and Jesus knew that. Everything on earth is under His authority—money, too. Was it a riddle and we just don’t get it?
When my government is acting outside of God’s law, I can justify withholding. They are trying to bankrupt our children and destroy our country with this stimulus package. Waking them up by not paying our taxes in large numbers might just be the ticket.
It’s a very big personal decision...and a risky one in today’s political climate. But, our Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat, so I don’t really see what the big deal is.
