..”Tax/Tribute” . . . Who has to pay? To whom?… Jesus asked! ! !

“He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?” Matthew 17:25
**..**2024 years before Jesus explained the Tax system, present day’s Tax is levied on the citizens particularly on the poor but the rich people given concession/waiver etc. etc. And they are allowed to increase the cost of their products at their will. Latest in India (even other countries) to study in schools also Tax is going to be levied. The cobblers’ son must do cobblers’ work only, he can not go to higher studies.
To eat the victuals you have to pay Tax, but Jesus did not pay Tax for the food he provided thousands of people.
In some churches also collection / Tax is made in the name of monthly subscription, weakly offertory, Birthday offertory, Marriage offertory, Sundays school offertory , Promotion in the work place also charged and by showing the IT certificate one has to pay Tax / tithe. Pathatetic situation of the living standards for being Jesus believers with the government and church tax. One validation is that when Jesus believing churches charging the beleiver, then the Tax system in India is perfectly all right. The churches only paved way to the Government.
Dear beleivers of Jesus let us pray to our Mighty God YeHoVaH to save us from all the exploits around us. Shalom.
