I think you're are saying the wages of tax defaulters is jail. Are you in essence saying God doesn't care whether a believer defaults in tax and other civic duties..

For the question being sensible or not, you have no idea what makes sense to me or not.

Thank for your contribution

DeSepiero:


Let me get this straight. You believe in God, and you don't know if he'd be pissed at you and throw you in 'hell' for defaulting in civic duties?
Hence you've sought and would further believe a convincing response from some other believers here?

Maybe you need to be more realistic and less speculative.
As for what makes sense to you, you should understand why I chose to use "more sensible".
Peace!!

Kayleb26:


We need orientation , I agree with you.
Bear in mind also that my use of hell for tax defaulters doesn't connote heaven for those who pay tax.

The set of Christians I have in mind before asking this question are those who're righteous in all things except tax and other civic duties.

I appreciate your comment

I can't stop thinking about this in the past few days... Will a Christian go to hell for not paying tax seeing that payment of tax is encouraged in the Scriptures (Rom 13:1-6 and Mark 12:16-17).

Now no adult I know pays tax. I understand everything goods and services we pay for have been taxed albeit I know that's not the only tax we're to pay.

There are many justifiable reasons why most people don't pay tax in Nigeria these include :
1. Lack of confidence in the government
2. Corruption
3. Infrastructural decay despite past tax adherence
4. Multiple taxation

Should a Christian continue to pay tax regardless whether he sees the effects or not, Can he use the above "justifiable reasons" to avoid tax? Will God excuse him on that ground? Will he go to hell for civil disobedience?

Please, people of Faith Let's contribute.
