Taxation

Taxation is not morally neutral. From David’s census to modern tax policy, Scripture and history warn that the power to tax can become the power to destroy liberty. When taxation moves beyond justice and becomes a tool to confiscate property or reshape society, it crosses into theft something God plainly forbids (Exod. 20:15).

The answer, however, is not revolt but repentance. Bad government reflects bad morality. Real change begins with the people, returning to faith and righteousness only then can just rule follow.
