Hi again, Brother!
>I appreciate the lengthy and descriptive response. I have a lot of questions lol. Sorry for the delay in my response.
No worries! I appreciate your willingness to engage in a conversation, and the interval between messages is not that important. You ask great questions.
>-Doesnโt Jesus have ALL authority though? Even over the demonic powers that be?
Yes, he has absolute power over all things.
>If thatโs the case, then the nation states are the right hand (punishing evil doers) of power (delegated by Christ) of the people of said nation?
This has been the traditional interpretation, but I do not see biblical support for it. All secular and biblical historical evidence shows the nation-states to be in unmitigated rebellion against God and against his Anointed King Jesus. This is quite the opposite of being in submission to King Jesus and carrying out his will. While nation-states *ought* to be "punishing the evil and praising the good" they are doing the opposite: https://peakd.com/christianity/@creatr/this-is-not-that-a-comment-on-romans-13
The idea that Jesus "delegates" his authority to nation-states is unbiblical. In the very first chapter of the bible, God gave man dominion over creation; not over his fellow man. 1 Samuel chapter 8--among other passages--makes it quite clear that human rule is a concession God has made to man's rebellion against God's rule. This concession is a punishment for disloyalty to the "blessed and only sovereign" (1 Timothy 6:15), Jesus, who is the only one with a right to rule by virtue of the fact that he is our Creator. This human lust to rule and be ruled is spoken of in the scriptures as the "spirit of antichrist." In Greek, "anti" means "in place of." Every human who arrogates to themselves rulership over fellow humans is putting themselves in the place of Jesus; thus, they are anti-Christ.
> -I obviously hold to a Kuyperian theology as far as the three forms of government go( Church, family and state). Which is believe is mainly taught throughout scriptures. In which I agree with you as they are distinct and separate but under the umbrella of Christโs ultimate authority.
I must again respectfully disagree; the scriptural view is TWO forms of government; that which is obedient to God and that which is in opposition; i.e. the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan. Ephesians chapter one emphatically tells us that Jesus rules the universe through the agency of his ecclesia (church), which *is* his body on earth.
> I think from what I hear you saying is that word, โlegitimateโ. Am I correct?
The English word "authority" has connotations of legitimacy that are absent in Greek... God has allowed nation-states "power" for a time; this does *not* mean he has delegated "authorization" or legitimate "authority" to them.
Much, perhaps *most* of the confusion and error in traditional church teaching stems from bad translations of the original languages of scripture. My considered opinion is that these poor translations have not occurred accidentally; I've written extensively on the topic in this collection:
https://peakd.com/library/@creatr/the-curmudgeon-s-bible-my-library-shelf
This article is perhaps my most concise statement of these observations about words:
https://peakd.com/conspiracy/@creatr/political-power-and-the-connotation-conspiracy
Even in our present discussion, our ability to understand each other is hampered by the connotations of English words that do not adequately represent the primary meaning of the original Greek; specifically, these words: authority, power, nation(s), ruler, Christ, and the phrase "powers that be."
Thanks for your questions and discussion.๐๐ป๐๐

The exit tax
A critical component for expats to consider when renouncing US citizenship is the Exit Tax.
Essentially, it is a tax on the net unrealized gain on your worldwide assets as if you sold them the day before expatriation.
This tax applies to individuals who meet any of the following criteria:
- Average annual net income tax for the five years ending before the date of expatriation exceeds a specified threshold amount. (150-190k yearly last few years.)
- Net worth is $2 million or more on the date of expatriation.
- Failure to certify compliance with US tax obligations for the five years preceding expatriation.
Even if you are a covered expat, you just have to pay a capital gains at the regular rate for all of your assets as if they were sold 1 day before you escaped.
