When you go into a neighborhood to preach the Gospel, never attempt to tear
down a man’s house, so to speak, before you build him a better one; never,
in fact, attack any one’s religion, wherever you go. Be willing to let
every man enjoy his own religion. It is his right to do that. If he does not
accept your testimony with regard to the Gospel of Christ, that is his

发帖数: 5785 | 5 我想你这个问题是一个相当外行的问题。根据你的具体问题，实际是要分两个部分：第
一，为什么教会不对自己的收入纳税；第二，为什么牧师不纳税？我简单回答一下，供
你参考。
第一，教会不纳税是因为教会的目的和政府的目的一致，政府是只有收税的权利没有纳
税的责任的。因为如果纳税，等于多征税。没有什么区别。因为教会的基本职能是和政
府职能互补的，和其他非赢利或者慈善机构一样，所以政府要支持，而不是增加他们的
负担。
第二，牧师是和其他挣工资的人一样纳税，至少在美国是这样。这样的纳税是为了以后
有资格参与社会福利的受益的，所以任何人不纳税，就失去了参与社会福利的资格，这
在美国是不可想象的。其他国家如何不清楚。具体规定见下面的IRS相关条款。

基督教会最被常问到的问题之一，就是为什么会有那么多教会、宗派与运动？在此问题
的背后有一个假设，就是真正的基督教应该是统一的。他们认为，统一，对社会、文明
、政治、或宗教的存在而言，都是不可或缺的。有些基督教会在教导中，只强调属灵合
一的教会（编注∶合一非统一，合一具备包容性，能接纳不同），并不认同教会历史中
一直存在的教会多元性。有些华人教会，甚至对于教会制度和组织特别敏感，认为宗派
不符合圣经，亦非正统。有些教会领袖甚至不鼓励人加入有宗派背景的教会。
然而，基督教从一开始，就是丰富、多元而非大一统的。从初代教会的雅各、彼得、保
罗等开始，基督教一直都有各种形式，从未是统一的，只有一种形态的。基督教会内部
这种多元性，展现了基督信仰里的丰富与活力。

罗马帝国的人口中有一半是奴隶，雅典的人口中则是四分之三为奴隶。奴隶的生
命是可以让主人随意处置的。经过许多世纪之后，在基督教的主张下，奴隶制度终于逐
渐废除，先是在古代世界中，稍后则是在十九世纪时，大部份是透过这位强而有力的福

也有一些虔诚的基督徒也正是奴隶的主人。然而无论如何，这个折磨人类数千年的奴隶
制度，主要还是透过基督徒的努力而终结的。
在古代世界中，奴隶的生活就像是身处地狱般。芬德利(Findlay)教授说，在雅典
被允许进入法庭作证必须先予以拷打；而一个自由人则是在发誓之后就可以进入作证，
这是法律规定的。在罗马人中，如果一个家庭的主人被杀，他家中所有的奴隶便一律处
死，并不需要经过合法的审判；当要利用另一个人的时候，则把家中的一个女奴赐给客
人过夜，算是款待的普遍习俗。透过奴隶制度真叫我们看见这个暴政是何等地的龌龊，
