Will I Go To Hell For Not Paying Tax To Nigeria? by Kayleb26(m): 7:49am On Nov 12, 2016 |
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. 2 Likes |

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. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

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. 1 Like 1 Share |

amerimex: 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 |
Re: Will I Go To Hell For Not Paying Tax To Nigeria? by Kayleb26(m): 10:21am On Nov 12, 2016 |
DeSepiero: 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 |
Re: Will I Go To Hell For Not Paying Tax To Nigeria? by DeSepiero(m): 10:34am On Nov 12, 2016 |
Kayleb26: 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!! 8 Likes |

In the scripture, Jesus Christ clearly stated that we should respect authority if u fail to do this, u are disobeying. Disobedience is a sin and sin leads to hell. |

As a Christian, you need to pay your taxes. Not paying your taxes means you are deliberately lying and cheating. Don't let the mismanagement by govt make you do the wrong thing. Imagine if you are confronted by VIO and taken to their station. They ask you for your proof of tax payment but since you don't have, it means you will have to bribe your way out. Definitely not what a Christian should do. 1 Like |
