Does God mind that I cheat on my income taxes, I claimed single even though I have a partner? |
I think I actually lost money. It would depend on whether or not your "partner" is your legal spouse, or not. He is troubled that you are not smarter then the Government! I think that is between you and your maker!! lying is in the ten commands yes Honesty in All Things Sticking faithfully to a marriage mate demands strength of character and love of principle. The same qualities are required to remain honest in a dishonest world. The Bible has much to say about honesty. The apostle Paul wrote to first-century Christians in Judea: 鈥淲e wish to conduct ourselves honestly in all things.鈥?(Hebrews 13:18) What does that mean? An honest person is truthful and free of fraud. He is fair in his dealings with others鈥攕traightforward, honorable, not deceptive or misleading. Moreover, an honest person is someone with integrity who does not cheat his fellowman. Honest people contribute to a climate of trust and confidence, which leads to healthy attitudes and promotes strong human relationships. Are honest people happy? Well, they have reason to be. Despite widespread corruption and cheating鈥攐r maybe because of it鈥攈onest individuals are generally admired by others. According to a survey carried out among young people, honesty is a virtue that was highly rated by 70 percent of respondents. Furthermore, whatever our age, honesty is a prime requisite in those we regard as friends. Christine was taught to steal from the time she was 12 years of age. Over the years she became a proficient pickpocket. 鈥淭here were days when I brought home up to DM 5,000 [$2,200, U.S.] in cash,鈥?she explains. But Christine was arrested several times, and she lived with the constant risk of being sent to prison. When Jehovah鈥檚 Witnesses explained to her what the Bible says about honesty, Christine was attracted to the Bible鈥檚 moral standards. She learned to obey the admonition: 鈥淟et the stealer steal no more.鈥濃€擡phesians 4:28. By the time Christine got baptized as one of Jehovah鈥檚 Witnesses, she was no longer a thief. She was endeavoring to be honest in all things, since the Witnesses place great emphasis on honesty and other Christian qualities. The newspaper Lausitzer Rundschau reports: 鈥淪uch moral terms as honesty, moderation, and love of neighbor are rated very highly in the faith of the Witnesses.鈥?How does Christine feel about the change in her life? 鈥淚 am much happier now that I have stopped stealing. I feel that I am an honorable member of society.鈥?br /> All Society Benefits People who are faithful to their mates and who are honest not only are happier themselves but are good for society in general. Employers prefer workers who do not cheat. We all like to have trustworthy neighbors, and we like to shop in stores run by upright businessmen. Do we not respect politicians, policemen, and judges who shun corruption? The community benefits greatly when its members behave honestly as a matter of principle, not just when it is expedient for them to do so. Furthermore, faithful marriage mates are the basis of stable families. And most people would agree with the European politician who declared: 鈥淭he [traditional] family remains to this day the most important haven of human security and purpose.鈥?The peaceful family unit is where adults and children have the best opportunity to feel emotionally secure. Those who are faithful in marriage are thus helping to build a stable society. Think of how much everyone would benefit if there were no abandoned mates, divorce courts, or child-custody cases. And what if there were no more pickpockets, shoplifters, embezzlers, corrupt officials, or fraudulent scientists? Does that sound like a mere dream? Not to those who take a keen interest in the Bible and what it says about our future. God鈥檚 Word promises that Jehovah鈥檚 Messianic Kingdom will soon take over the governing of all human society on earth. Under that Kingdom all its subjects will be taught to live in accordance with Bible morals. At that time, 鈥渢he righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.鈥濃€擯salm 37:29. Bible Morality Is the Best Morality Millions of people who have taken a close look at the Holy Scriptures have come to appreciate that Bible counsel is based on godly wisdom, which is far superior to human thinking. Such ones regard the Bible as trustworthy and relevant to life in our modern world. They know that it is in their best interests to heed the counsel in God鈥檚 Word. Hence, such individuals take to heart the Bible鈥檚 counsel: 鈥淭rust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.鈥?(Proverbs 3:5,聽6) Doing so, they greatly improve their own lives, and they also benefit those around them. And they develop a firm confidence in 鈥渢he life .聽.聽. which is to come,鈥?when Bible morality will be followed by all mankind.鈥?聽Timothy 4:8. watchtower 2000 11/1 Yes he minds and he also minds all of your condescending questions. And I'm sure the IRS will mind more when they catch up to you if you did it at all. I get the feeling that you lie a lot. Thou Shall Not Lie. |
