We must be careful not to embrace theories that deem taxation to be ipso facto a crime.And Romans 13:1-10 tells us exactly what Moral justifications God permits for Taxation:
The Punishment of:
- Murder
- Adultery
- Theft
- Fraud
- and "Covetousness" (according to the Laws of the Old Testament, this applies in cases of abuse or malfeasance where no actual Theft is involved).
And THAT'S IT.
"You may Steal your Neighbor's money to pay for your pneumonia medicine" just ain't in there.
That is NOT Biblical Morality. That is Marxist Morality.
And Karl Marx hated the God of the Bible.
