Thesis 79: Taxation, Kingdom Citizenship, and Overcoming Through Suffering

Christ’s disciples are not legitimately obligated to pay taxes; the State has no legitimate jurisdiction over the adopted members of the Household of Faith.[1]
Christ’s disciples pay taxes to avoid offense[2] and to counter the evil violence of Humanistic statism/vengeance with non-violent good.[3]
