The discussion isn't about taxes. It's about ginormous CEO pay checks. Do try to keep up.
If this is all about ginormous ceo paychecks, is rolando saying that these rich people are all christians, so it's hard to understand why they aren't more generous with their money? Or is he saying Tea Party people should be for paying more taxes because they are all christians? Either way.... kj. How do you get from Acts 4 to taxes? Why are you assuming that those passages are talking about taxation? Ever hear of "charity"? There was nothing in those passages about the government being in charge of what was going on.
How did rolando get from big ceo paychecks to Acts 4? Why did Gute seemingly agree? Seems Roland took Acts 4 to be pro-socialism. Or or at least gov't redistribution of wealth in some form. Btw, did you notice I mentioned charity in my post? kj.
You keep insisting on inserting the government into Acts.
I think it was very clear that the idea was that the people in those passages were sharing out of the goodness of their hearts. Why you think there is some hidden undercurrent regarding government interference is beyond my ken. Do you think the entire Bible is filled with hidden messages regarding politicians and government policy? Does this keep you awake nights?
lap:I think the point was that CEOs who grab massive percentages of a company's profits are Bad People. Easy enough to grasp.
