Discussion Evil Taxation, and God's Will

[ISTANBUL]

In western countries they actively do both of those things. Might aswell be in a place where one of them is absent, even if it's not ideal.

people still get abortions all the time in those places

I have a conundrum in my head. Scripture has told us that we are to pay to the authorities what is due to them, yet I am now thinking, "what is truly 'due' if their revenues violate the will of our Lord?" In other terms, what is due to a government, appointed over us by God with the intent for it to punish evildoers and praise those of goodness (as written in Peter's first epistle, 2:14) when this government does not act as God's servant for our good in the first place (Epistle to the Romans 13:4)? A proper example of what has brought me to this question is with the satanic United States federal government's spending. "Planned Parenthood", a vicious, national band of child-sacrificing demons, receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding each year from the United States government. In paying the government taxes, we are, with this knowledge in our heads, willingly giving them "what is due" so that they may slay more infants in bloody murder. If we are to pay what is due, are the lives of these infants not due to God only, for Him to bless and prolong as He wills, rather than the abhorrent sacrificers to do this? Why then must evil-bound revenues be sent from faithful people to the badness that rules over us? Would it not be preferable to be imprisoned for escaping these payments, rather than to be among all who fund the horrid destruction of innocent babies? I do not even pay this money, yet, for I am still in my young years without that demand from the authorities, but my heart trembles to think that I will be forced to do this in coming time, to fund all of this horror that's going on right now, to then know that I am a part of it with obedience to taxation. It brought me to tears in bed last night when it came to mind, it is that frightening, and I can not clear my head of it when I now talk with God, since His presence reminds me of my adherence to His will, and thus the fear of this evil taxation, which will stray me away from Him if I follow it, now remains. What thoughts do you all have of this, then?

Augustus and all of his successors were literal high priests of a Pagan idolatrous religion, and it is clarified in the Old Testament several times that idolatry is bad on the grounds that it is an injustice to Jehovah to worship anything that is not himself, even if it doesn't cause anyone to convert to anything. So, I don't know how you can make the argument that Tiberius Caesar was not "violating the will of our Lord"

Completely correct. I was not seeing that parallel in my own raging babble of the problems we face in modernity.

look baqqrih the only good thing planned parenthood ever do is stopping child marriage (that is if rumours are turned out to be true) otherwise i kind of agree

Good thing you don't have to pay taxes yet since you're 16.
