You are in hell already for paying taxes for nigeria.

kuku kill urself.......make you know if you go enter hell

I guess you're a member of one of the new generation churches or a jehovah's witness member. leme correct you on this.hell exist o and forgiveness does not cover future sins. if you ask for God's forgiveness and still continue in sin,you're hell bound,unless you ask for forgivess again and forsake your bad ways. you can't continue in sin and ask for the grace of God to abide,God forbid. And Please,pay your tax,it's your reponsibility,it's the law. by doing so,your consciene is clear before God And Man.

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.

All the four reasons you listed also apply to churches and their gods of men. That has not stopped the sheeple from paying non-biblical tithes or has it?

All I know is when Jesus was I earth he was tempted by being asked if that should pay their taxes asband he said to them give what belongs to "ceaser to ceaser"...
from the context and my understanding he was indifferent about it.
Your relationships with is govt is not a criterion for heaven

But look at it this way If you use any govt facility even if its just a bad road, without paying taxes is immoral because paying for It is your responsibility if no one never paid their taxes those facilities wouldn't be there!

No, because there is no hell in the first place.
When you die, you are dead, you stay dead and you are fucking dead...

You are not going to anywhere, you are simply dead, no heaven or he'll. You won't even know you are dead, only those who are alive knows somebody has died.

If you can evade tax, please do it with all your might, and enjoy your hard earned money.

ifenes:
NO! Whoever told you that is only trying to manipulate you to part with your hard earned money.

Like pastors do when they tell you to pay tithe, right?

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap everlasting life. tithes and taxes are d seeds of the flesh, while holiness and righteousness are the seeds of the spirit.....use ur tongue and count your teeth.

It can also be defined as a tax on spending/

transaction but eventually borne by the final
consumer of such goods and services. It is levied
at the rate of 5%."

here are the goods or services exempted from VAT

Some people ask question and you wonder if the question has come from the mouth of a human being

You obviously have not heard of PAYE- Pay as You Earn by employees.
Have you also heard of Personal Income Tax by business people?
Read and learn so you don't perish for lack of knowledge.
Shallom.

Why did Jesus say- Give unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's......?

The Bible told us to pay tax, even Jesus pay his and that why he said give ceaser to ceaser. THE Apostles enjoins us to pay to the government as Christians includes Taxes, customs. BIBLE Reading Rom 13:6-7,Mk 12:16-17

will Nigeria go to hell for not providing you the Avenue to fulfill your God's given potentials?

Churches aren't even taxed so I don't know where you dug up this mumu question from.
If you're hellbound so is your church.
Btw, religious hells are inexistent. Only one hell is real and that's 'Nigeria'.

I can only remember where Jesus asked them to give Caesar what belongs to him and God His own. It is true that our government has failed us big time but some achievements which we make use of can still be traced to them.

Nobody here is God to tell you He will or will no throw you to hell for this,but pay your taxes if your conscience ain't right. Do the right thing.

Yesooo.u rob govt,u rob God.Give to Caesar what is he's n to God what is He's.B4 u ask me how u give to God,I sing for u"whatsoever u do to d least of my brothers,that u do unto me"

FrancisMalemia:
No. You Won't Go To Hell For Not Paying Taxes, If You Are A Born Again Christian That Is. Jesus Already Went To Hell For You . Any Act That Is Not In Accordance With The Word Of God Is Sin. On Romans 13 V 1-7 Especially On Verse 6 & 7, The Word Is Against Not Paying Taxes. If You're A Born Again, You Are In Christ. And If You Are In Christ, In Him You Have Already Been Been Forgiven, Even For Not Paying Taxes, If Not So, Then You Require Another Jesus Christ To Die Again For That Sin. So I Don't Know Where You Will Find That One, Maybe In Israel, I Dont Know Maybe Kenya Hahaha. Jesus Died Once And For All. He Paid Once For All Your Sins, Past, Present And Future Sins Aswell. All You Gotta Do Is To Go On Your Knees And Acknowledge Your Sin Before Him And Receive His Forgiveness, Because It Has Already Been Given In Christ Jesus. Amen.

Jesus went to hell to do what? What is hell? If hell is a place of torment, wetin Jesus go do for there? Lack of knowledge.

If i get you correctly, i can continue in sin because Jesus had paid the price once and for all.

Kayleb26:


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

"Give to ceaser what belongs to ceacer" - JC

The life of a Christian: You have to worry whether your loving heavenly father will roast you eternally for not paying tax to a government that has repeatedly robbed and failed you.

FrancisMalemia:
The Government Being Corrupt Should Not Affect Your Obedience To The Word Of God. You Just Do Your Part. What The Government Will Do With The Tax Does Not Concern You, God Will Not Question You. That's Why Jesus Showed That The Tax Belongs To Ceaser, So If There's Any Questioning, He Will Question Ceaser. So You Just Do Your Part.

Good response

Hmmm may god help us
.
Meanwhile try not to laugh when you visit the blog in my picture..

DeSepiero:

Looks like some people are sick and tired of the garbage that comes into nairaland daily

HQuadreal:
Jamb Question.

Yes! You will, infact the very bottom of it.

So pay your taxes appropriately.
