Just exactly HOW would Jesus be a “victim”??? Yes, He came to be the ONE AND ONLY Blood Sacrifice for sinful humanity, the only possible ACCEPTABLE Perfect Lamb of God, to be sure, but how was He a victim?
He came voluntarily, KNOWING the outcome, ALL of it, the shame and degradation, the humiliation of dying on a cross, the stigma of that particular death; but He ALSO knew of the Resurrection and that by His death, He paid the only acceptable price to cover our sins. That His Resurrection was the proof of the promise of OUR resurrection and eternal life with Him if we only ACCEPT that GIFT and that Promise.
No, Jesus is no victim, of any sort. But the ones selected to pay for YOUR utopia are YOUR victims, just as much as if you put the gun of government to their heads yourself.
Yes, I remember the story of the rich, young ruler whom Jesus told to sell all his goods and give the money to the poor. BUT this was one person, dealing VOLUNTARILY, with HIS OWN PROPERTY. It was not a general command for believers to get government to do with OTHER FOLKS’ PROPERTY what we BELIEVERS are commanded to do with our own property.
yes, I totally agree with you the giving should be voluntary taxes extracted involuntarily by the government
