KR has a query:
As a Christian and a Libertarian I am constantly confronted with these two passages by my Christian peers. What is your perspective on the content of these passages as they relate to the command of God?
Whose name is on your dollar? Do you see the Internal Revenue Service on there? The proper Biblical conclusion is to pay your tax in Federal Reserve Notes to the Federal Reserve if it asks for it. Jesus Christ said to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, not to give him what is not his.
As for Romans 13, simply ask the questioner if they would favor regime change in the case of Hussein or even Hitler. If they do, then tell them that they would do well to deal with the log in their own eye before attempting to bring in the Bible to refute your political positions.
