Is it a SIN to Lie to the Government?

in christianity •  8 years ago 

The government has no right to take by force any amount for any purpose.

"Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.”"
- Luke 3:14

Just to clarify when I said that makes sense I was talking about what Yeshua said to the Roman soldiers not what you said about Yeshua or money or the government

The passage in Luke is John the Baptist speaking with the soldiers, not Jesus...

And, part of my confusion may be because Replys on Steemit may get "out of sequence" and not connected to the right author...

@creatr thank you again for

My apologies for being confusing...

You may find my recent post and commentaries signs and wonders @yzart

It was actually Elijah, who was recognized as John the Baptist the greatest man ever born of a woman

And he was quoting Yeshua who many called Jesus

Governments take by force whenever they deem necessary the last thing they do uses soldiers uses soldiers
let's say they could just begin it electronically ..........think about it

Force, up to and including murder, is the state's ultimate resort, and governments do not hesitate to use it.

But yes, of course, they also use electronic means and all other means at their disposal.
