Who owns the earth and all that is on it?

Amazon has a copy of the contract available pretty cheap. I'll order it and read it. I'll then get back to you on what it says about who owns what.

Hey Still Alive!

If you think it takes precedence at this point in the discussion above the bible (save giving tribute to amazon in the process). We can see or find out where government is mandated by God (the owner of the joint).

Thanks.

For me, the scariest chapter in the bible is Romans 13.

Fear God.

Romans was said to be quite inspiring to some. Others claim it was written by a liar.

I guess faith is the all important part of it really.

I see it as specific instructions to specific people. Our founding fathers violated it big time, assuming it applied to them.

Govt. Enters here...Genesis 9:5-6 NKJV
[5] Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man. [6] "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

No one has said governments are immune to committing crimes...that's due to the Fall too.

We live in an imperfect world, that includes governments and taxes...that's due to the Fall too.

 

Please help me.

I see the command from God to honor justice for the crimes that cause the death of a man by commanding punishment must ensue. If the animal causes the death it must be killed, so must any brother love God first and fulfill such a punishment by his hand. But I don't see the connection to government there. Unless of course you mean God is government?

Basically we are to reward (read punish) in that scripture. It is regarding individuals who God gives the statute. It is not defined as some organized institution to visit that needs tax to complete its mission.

Was the USA blessed by this action or cursed or even punished by God?

I still have seeds and seedlings to plant this evening so have to go for now.

I don't know that that applies. It was not a faith act. It was a "tired of getting pushed around" act.

Again due to the Fall (you seem to leave this point out about the Fall) God has given man the mandate to put to death those who shed innocent blood. It takes an organized group of individuals to make that decision. I'm afraid by bypassing this, man becomes his own government independent of God such as those States which abolish Capital Punishment.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.
(Rom 13:1-7)

You may want to rebel and follow the spirit of witchcraft but you will have an accounting for that before the Judge of the universe. 
 

According to your chosen scripture you automatically become owned by the state.

Your free will is directed to the will of any or all the fallen men that make up Gods government, with a limited incentive to actually keep Gods commandments.

If you dont give tribute to the homosexuals you recieve Gods wrath, likewise avoid homosexuality altogether and you are rebelling against God lol.

Wrath if you do right wrath if you do wrong.

Its all about the "wrath" lol

Which begs the question who is there left to rebel against?

Ok So what about rebelling against a one world government? I take it you will be submitting all to it to avoid Gods wrath?

Lol

Nope. I will simply go against that which is in clear violation of Scripture. I have done a lot of resistence type work both before Christ and after, I don't plan on changing that. But I still pay taxes because that is a clear directive to us as Christians.

So you do your good bit before and after (funding the very fallen men you say you will be resisting in the future) lol
