13 All of you must obey the government rulers. Everyone who rules was given the power to rule by God. And all those who rule now were given that power by God. 2 So anyone who is against the government is really against something God has commanded. Those who are against the government bring punishment on themselves.3 People who do right don’t have to fear the rulers. But those who do wrong must fear them. Do you want to be free from fearing them? Then do only what is right, and they will praise you.
4 Rulers are God’s servants to help you. But if you do wrong, you have reason to be afraid. They have the power to punish, and they will use it. They are God’s servants to punish those who do wrong. 5 So you must obey the government, not just because you might be punished, but because you know it is the right thing to do.
6 And this is why you pay taxes too. Those rulers are working for God, and they give all their time to the work of ruling. 7 Give everyone what you owe them. If you owe them any kind of tax, then pay it. Show respect to those you should respect. And show honor to those you should honor.

It advocates for a corrupt inner party church oligarchy with absolute control over society and peoples' thoughts, appointed by and representing the people God, and contends that the pursuit of profit is bourgeois exploitation sinful distraction from heavenly virtue. Sounds like marxism all right.

Friendly reminder that those translations were written all simple like so that mouth breathers like you aren't confused by those ye olde words. Somehow I'm still surprised by how far fedoras are able to intentionally miss the point for the sake of appearing right. Yes, you're supposed to respect your government and the rulers put in place but nevermind that this was written while under fucking Nero. If the authoritative entity in place has laws that causes one to sin, disobey God, contradict or violate ones Godly conscious or, especially, uses it's power to circumvent rights given to its citizens as given by the law, it isn't to be respected. That's the great thing about being an American. Not only does the law of the constitution give us inalienable rights, but it encourages us to respect no government after it that doesn't obey it's own laws put in place, even going so far as giving us a lawful right to overthrow it and install a new one if need be as a footnote.

The united states was founded upon rebellion against a legitimate monarchy that ruled based on the principles of God despite being a protestant king, the american colonial terrorists like george washington didnt seem to respect the government.

Christ wasn’t a socialist. He was a religious radical. He advocated charity by the individual. He did not want a complex temporal power structure established to tax people at gunpoint to subsidize poverty. Santa Claus, likewise, rewards virtue with toys and evil with coal. If anything, what he represents is a purely capitalistic idea–regardless of background, race, creed, etc., by virtuous and diligent behavior one will be rewarded materially. Whereas slothfulness and evil reaps nothing of value. A Wonderful Life is about valuing family, not about establishing a top-down economy. A Christmas Carol isn’t about a capitalist who turns into a socialist. It’s about a capitalist who overcomes the bitterness of his childhood and learns to value his family and his friendships more than his business. He doesn’t stop being a capitalist; he still solves all of his problems with money. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is about a terrorist who realizes that his diagnosis of capitalist society as being corrupt and materialistic was wrong. He realizes that though the society acknowledges capitalistic values, it also has a spiritual core independent of that system. His realization that the two can exist in harmony allows him to come to terms with his own bitterness and join society, rather than living like a hermit up in the mountains. Charlie Brown, ironically, is the only story with any socialist values at all, and they’re negative. Charlie Brown used everyone’s money to make a terrible economic decision and invest in a bad tree that didn’t fulfill its intended function. The people were then forced to band together to make the best out of this smoking ruin on their own initiative. In essence, A Charlie Brown Christmas is about a government using the people’s money poorly, and then the public sector having to make the best of it with their own innovation.

Ah yes a government where you vote for a candidate to lead your nation doesnt get elected and youre forced to be under his or her reign for 4 or 8 years is better than a benovolent monarchy. Kys

Monarchy is far superior to democracy or republicanism. Here's a big red pill.
Anthony Hughes
The revolutionary mind is the heart of all flawed thoughts in this batshit crazy world. Christ wants people to quit being revolutionaries and focus on living a better life. That's all. Anything further than that is just wishful thinking. Remember: communists are the most anti-religion bitches in the world, because they know the path to conservatism is paved through religion, as flawed as religion is. The biggest group of dissent from the communist groups are from rock-bottom degenerates converting, they try to stop the leaks by forbidding religion.
Don't fall into the bait.

This is one of those:
IF your rulers are doing the will of god, pay taxes, if they are not, hang them respect those you OUGHT TO respect, not the usurpers that claim to be rulers if YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO DEBT, pay the debt, if the debt was unjustly imposed, kill the usurer
Gavin Johnson
I honestly don't see how you come to that conclusion? Seems you just interpret it as you wish.
