I haven't heard this yet but I'm reminded of the phrase, "this time it's different". I don't buy it.

I have heard many Christians say that failing to pay taxes is stealing. Its interesting because most Christians I know have a big issue when I say taxation is theft. Seems like a logical fallacy to me but can't express which one. On the Biblical side though I do think we are commanded to pay taxes. Even of it is theft. But I see no command to lie about what it is. The issue I see and how I would teach someone is that lying is a sin. So if you falsely declare your earnings that is the wrong. Not the failure to pay an unjust tax. The way of Jesus is hard. We are to forgive those that trespass against us. We are to love our enemies. So paying taxes is a good witness of someone following Jesus. Cheering it on and claiming it is moral is not.

The Truth About Alex Pretti Minnesota Shooting - Colion Noir I like Colion Noir when it comes to fire arms content. I like him on other things too but he really makes a lot of sense to me here. From what I've seen the vast majority of commentary on these ICE shootings are coming from a political frame, not a non-political right to defend one's self (2A). It is clear that Trump and many of his fans are saying things that are in direct contradiction to people that believe in our right to carry arms and defend ourselves. It is important to separate that right from our opinions on the two sides. You can love what ICE is doing or hate it. That's not hard to discern. I hear a lot of people that never defend 2A defending it in this case. I hear a lot of people that claim to care about 2A dropping that over politics. Noir does a great job focusing on the gun and legal aspects of it.
