*long sigh*
Christian these days need to understand the difference between resistance and REBELLION.
Preaching and teaching the word is a commandment from God. Yes, Christianism has been illegal for the following decades after Christ crucifixion, it still doesn't mean Christians were acting like entitled jerks about it and deliberately creating trouble to spread the Gospel and suck it up against the government....
What you are whining about is NOT about preaching the word lf God ; it's about your own flesh (MY rights, MY freedom, MY money, me me me!!!). YOU DO NOT compare to St Paul (or Peter) who was doing God's command through preaching for GOD'S GLORY, not his own. He was not doing illegal stuff just because he felt entitled to it on a individual level. It was selflessly and for the Lord's glory. All people like you are doing is claiming the Lord's name for you own selfish personal interest.
About the second poster: fascinating how he's trying to argue "aktchully Jesus didn't say to pay your taxes he actually told the pharisees to fuck off🤪" as if both statements were somehow...mutually exclusive? it still does NOT prove Jesus said it was okay to cheat on/not pay your taxes or anything neither?? You inputting "what do I care about taxes?" to Jesus is straight up FANFICTION. STOP making up stuff to fit your narrative!! STOP PUTTING WORDS INTO JESUS' MOUTH! STOP ADDING STUFF TO THE BIBLE, THIS IS A SIN! There's a reason the last few verses of the book of Revelation talk about this, because God knew during apostasy yall would start running your big mouth and making stuff up about the Bible! AND THAT'S NOT OKAY!!
Yes, ppl who never read the Bible picking up random verse to make up stuff about the Bible are freaking annoying, but y'all "Christian" contrarian are literally doing the same to back up your obsessive anti government/anti tax bias . You are INSUFFERABLE. And wrong.
Some words from the very Paul some of you tryna paint as this unlawful / anti government hero :
Romans 13:1-7
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
