TAXES
“Caesar” has the right to determine what taxes will be imposed. Any Christian, though, may take advantage of all legal exemptions or provisions for appeal to which he has a right. What the government does with the tax money received is not his re-sponsibility. He does not withhold some tax money just because the government may use part of the revenue for pur-poses contrary to Scriptural principles.—w94 11/15 26-8; g86 11/8 26-7; w79 1/15 30-1; g79 3/8 27-9; w75 4/1 214-15.
In accord with Scriptural counsel, Christians properly pay the taxes re-quired by the government. (Matt. 22:21; Rom. 13:1, 6, 7; w01 1/15 5).
