@calhounm8 One could argue that taxes are more voluntary and less risky to not pay. It’s promised that you won’t be saved during the second coming and cannot participate in covenants if you neglect tithing. Taxes you can at least vote to determine where the money is going.

You are not God. You can look on sin with forgiveness. Not allowance, but forgiveness, compassion, and understanding.
Mormons: Families can be together forever. A family is the most important unit in the world, and we need to strengthen that bond any way we can.
Certain Mormons: lmao if you didn’t want to be separated from your parents maybe you shouldn’t have let them come in illegally
@Jakehansenmusic@isaacgrantlyon@mitchie18 This legitimately hurt me to read. Ignoring all of Christ’s teachings and the pleas from the brethren to forgive those who did not mean to do harm... The doctrine of the Old Testament has been consistently shown to be only for the people of Moses’ time. We abide by a higher law.
@Jakehansenmusic@OnlyMormons@mitchie18 You can listen to what the Church has said on the matter, though. https://t.co/sWbxgt13nN
“The Church supports a balanced and civil approach to a challenging problem, fully consistent with its tradition of compassion, its reverence for family, and its commitment to law.”
@Jakehansenmusic@isaacgrantlyon@mitchie18 I was pointing out the fact that there are shades to the law, and that not every infraction is equivalent to murder. I didn’t change course. Of course I’ve done all those things. I just expect a hint of compassion when it comes to penalties of non-violent crimes.
