Question 'bout the wages of sin being death?

Question

Which of these gross wages are taxable? Do I claim my son as an exemption?

There is a Bible passage that talks of this the sins of the father, is this like an inheritance tax? IE defering the tax and then the child has to pay the penalty?

I'm in payroll. This is why I ask these questions.

Answer 1

Good Morning, Sean.

In a perfect world, our "sins" would affect us and only us. Unfortunately that's not true - in many cases our actions have a ripple effect that will, in turn, affect those around us. Typically, those kind of sins were not committed with the after-math for others strictly in mind, but part of the responsibility of "free will" is to know how our actions will affect others and take that into consideration, isn't it?

Answer 2

If someone is found guilty of money laundering (concealing money gained through illegal means such as prostitution, illegal drugs, etc), that money PLUS any other assets the person has are liable to confiscation PLUS a jail term, in most countries. Talk about the wages of sin.

No, the wages of sin are tax free and cannot be inherited.

Answer 3

Sins committed in the workplace are always taxed by governments, which take a portion of sin to offer unto Satan so they may continue to do their vile work. Therefore, if you sin at work, you do get slightly less death.

As for inherited sin, there is no tax on it at current in America, but there is a bill going through Congress which would allow the government to collect 12.5% of all inherited sins worth more than four murders.

Answer 4

Cool analogy. Many people do not understand what they read in Scripture, and this one is often misunderstood.
The sins of a parent are paid for by the parent. A sin is not paid for by a child of the sinner. The only time a child will pay for the sin of the parent, is if the child commits a like-sin. If the sin is repeated by the child, then the child is responsible for that sin, and only that sin. Each pays for their own sin, is the short answer.
Payroll? Geez, you must take alot of Advil...

Answer 5

If the wages of sin is death meaning what most christians believe, eternity in hell, then Jesus died for nothing. He did not pay for your sin, my sin, the sin of the generations before us or after us. If this passage truly means hell, as I read in the other question, then the bible must be rewritten in its entirety because Jesus' death means nothing. No price was paid by him.

Answer 6

It's all an illusion; the wages of EVERYTHING is death. How many folks do you know that haven't or won't die? Death is the big single door at the end of the road; I always wondered how to get lost in the woods along the way...

Answer 7

so the paycheck you receive for sin is death???
define death.
No exemptions
I would not want to pass down to 4 generations to come sin
that produces nothing but death.
Is their an inheritance tax?

Answer 8

Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.



Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.

But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.

If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.

The Good Person Test.

How will you do? Pass or fail?


Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?

Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?

Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?

Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?

See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?

If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.

Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.

The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

Answer 9

what "the wages of sin is death" means is that all who sin will be punished unless they pray and except christ as their personal savior

Answer 10

The person who sins will die.
But the effects of that sin often have an effect on that persons family and friends.
