aww booooo i’m so so sorry you had to take a private jet :((( maybe don’t represent a country that bombs every single one of its neighbors and hangs women from cranes in public squares for showing their hair
Paying Jizya would mean we are already under Islamic rule as Christians / non-muslims. Maybe what I am against is that in general. If we fall under Islamic rule then so be it, we pay the Jizya if it’s applied. Until then, what most Christians want is to live freely, and we will fight for that.
You’re not reading Romans 13 fully. It states clearly that we must follow the authority in place because God instituted it. If Jizya isn’t in place currently, and a US tax is currently in place, why should we pay the Jizya if it’s not what has been instituted by God?
Jizya isnt a thing anymore. From what Romans 13 says we can affirm that God doesn’t want us to pay a "Jizya" to Islamic entities.
@TheObserve87441@fawzydawah It would apply to any state that is currently in power. No government enforces Jizya currently. Meaning God doesn’t want it applied. Only extremist factions apply Jizya, should we pay Jizya to these extremists?
This is how Muslims got their Qur’an.
- Allah whispers to Gabriel
- Gabriel to Muhammad
- Muhammad to random scribbles
- Scribbles to Zaid
- Zaid to Abu Bakr
- Abu Bakr to Muslims
Finally, Uthman shows up, torches every other version, and declares his own version as the literal words of God.
And you’re supposed to believe this is perfect, unchanged, and error-free!
We are following the teachings of Paul RIGHT NOW, by paying taxes to our government. If God ever decides that there should be an Islamic government ruling over Christians then we can take that as judgement and we will act accordingly. Until then we will fight to maintain our government as we have it now. We won’t give in easily.
@TheObserve87441@fawzydawah The Jizya is based on a system that follows a false diety. A Arab false god. Paying taxes to maintain a government that protects your freedoms is different than paying taxes to a false god system. We don’t want to pay your stupid tax. And we won’t.
