I suspect that most Jews under Roman rule disliked paying taxes, just like most people today dislike paying taxes. More knowledgeable Jews of that era might have approved of taxes to pay for roads and aquaducts that were of real benefit to the community, but they probably objected to those taxes paying for Roman legions to occupy and occasionally terrorize their land. Those same legions, however, also maintained the peace and allowed commerce to flourish over the entire empire. There's an excellent discussion of this issue in Monty Python's Life of Brian, kicked off by one of Brian's disciples who asks "what have the Romans ever given us?" (the dialogue paraphrases, perhaps unknowingly, a passage in the Talmud about the same issue).
No, not all Jews believed that Roman taxes were a good idea. Many Jews resented the heavy taxation imposed by the Romans as it was a reminder of their subjugation and oppression. Some Jews also believed that paying taxes to a foreign, pagan authority was a violation of their religious beliefs.
No. This saying actually has nothing to do with tithing. In order to answer this question more clearly, I'll give a little historical background first: In Jesus' time, Judea was governed by the Roman Empire. Many Jews resented being ruled by the Romans and didn't want to pay taxes to them. Some Jews even believed that paying Roman taxes was a sin. So, what Jesus is doing here is actually advising his fellow Jews to pay their taxes. Since the money belongs to the Roman Emperor anyway (it has his picture on it), give him what you owe him in taxes. He's basically saying that it is possible to be a good citizen of the Empire and a good Jew at the same time; take care of your civic duties, but also take care of your religious duties, and remember that ultimately they are separate things.
It is very likely that she did hold the same beliefs Hitler did about Jews.
Well more Jews than christains really but heres a good chart
No. Jews are "cast out" because they believe in education, world love, giving to the poor, and that goodness and godliness are determined by good deeds and not beliefs. The world hates good people as evidenced by the Christian and Muslim antisemitism, which began in the 4th and 6th centuries.Answer:The Jews were never completely cast out (Leviticus 26:44). They were exiled, with a promise of eventual return (Deuteronomy 30:1-10). Religious Jews believe that the exile has not yet ended.
Yes. That's what loyalists were. They believed that it was good to impose a tax for the American Revolution. The people who opposed this were Patriots.
There are a number of things that Jews do not believe in. This list is not exhaustive.Jews do not believe that there is a devil.Jews do not believe in relativism.Jews do not believe in in multiple gods.Jews do not believe that the poor should suffer just because they have no wealth.Jews do not believe that they are the only ones to enter "the Good Place" (paradise) after deathJews do not believe in equality between humans and animals.Answer 2They do not believe in numerous gods & goddesses. They only worship the One God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Good question! I just know that Orthodox Jews aren't allowed to do that.
Jews believe many different things about God, but to sum it up in a general statement, God values good choices.
Kind of it depends on which taxes your talking about
First, it should be noted that "salvation" is a Christian concept; Jews do not believe in original sin, nor do they believe someone has to die for your sins, so they also do not believe in the idea of "being saved." For Jews, gaining God's forgiveness is a process involving truly repenting and turning away from sinful actions. But that said, historically, there have been many Christians who believed the Jews had to suffer because God was punishing them for having rejected his Son. This is not something Jews accept or believe. Jews believe there are a number of reasons for suffering: the Bible does give examples of people suffering because they sinned against God, but it also gives examples of bad things happening to good people (like Job), because we are told that life contains both good days and bad days. Many contemporary Jews believe Jewish suffering is the result of Christian prejudice-- Jews who refused to accept Christianity were often persecuted or killed for several thousands years, and it was a belief in Christian doctrine that the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus (which is historically false, but was widely believed). It is only since the period after the Holocaust that reforms in the Catholic Church and certain Protestant churches have led to Christians no longer unfairly blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus, and showing more tolerance towards Jewish beliefs. But some Christians still believe the Jews will continue to endure suffering until they accept Jesus.
I believe that it would be a good idea to move to the United States to find a RN job. Living costs and taxes are relatively low, with cheap products, higher wages, and lower taxes.
