In a way, this topic is ironic.

In Roman times, you had Citizens and you had slaves.

Citizens had rights. Slaves did not.

Slaves paid taxes. Citizens did not.

Paul being a Citizen of Rome was favored compared to many of his Christen brethern who were servants of Rome via occupation and subjugation.

Something to think about.

If you are a "citizen" in the USA, do you have "rights" anymore or are you regarded as a servant and slave by the state?
