Could my job and my pay be nothing more than a bribe? what does scripture say?

'a bribe is money for doing something you know is wrong'. but what if i works as well. if i work at a burger stand that is no more than a front for a weed seller and i am forced to put packets of weed in the sack with the food then is my paycheck a bribe? i cook the food, i clean my area, and do lots of legitimate tasks that anyone would have to pay to have done. plus, the packets of dope are not transparent but still i pretty much know its dope. this scenario is fictitious but its patterned after something that actually happend to a friend. the worker needs the money and they wont hire anyone who wont throw the packet in the sack with the food. how does scripture break this down? is that paycheck just a bribe?Could my job and my pay be nothing more than a bribe? what does scripture say?
By the very definition that you gave, it is a bribe.





Edit:


(1Sa 12:1) And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.





(1Sa 12:2) And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.





(1Sa 12:3) Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose *** have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.





(1Sa 12:4) And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.





Samuel's record was good because he accepted no bribe.Could my job and my pay be nothing more than a bribe? what does scripture say?
Yes, it is a bribe for you to ';look the other way';. In otherwords, you keep your mouth shut and do as you are told. Even if you do the other normal parts of your job, because you know that the person who employs you is doing something wrong...you are sinning also. One verse in the Bible in particular lends itself well although it is usually taken in another context. ';Do not be unequally yoked';. In your case, you are yoking (tying together) with someone who is not the same as you are if you are a believer in God and in his laws.
It's only a bribe if it's more than the normal going rate for the job. If it's less, then it's coercion and extortion.
Worst.





It's called conspiracy and that's what he or she will serve time for.





Good luck. Call an attorney.
Screw scripture. Not sure if this is the dictionary definition of a bribe, but this is still very, very wrong. Legally, and ethically. I'd tell the cops if this did happen.
the wages of sin(law) is death


law is the ministration of death


law is the strength of sin's death sting





flush law as dung for grace is sufficient,


and you'll be just fine, and all of the time
I agree with Kryten. It's a bribe if you are being paid more than you would normally make for your legal job. If you get nothing extra, it's extortion or exploitation, not bribery.
It's real dumb and will land the person in jail. It's better to be unemployed. Just about any job would be better.
It's a bribe, a sin ,atrocious and the law is being broken. It's also hurting people who do drugs / packets...
Regarding payment for honest work, here's what the Bible says:


1Ti 5:18 (The Message) -


Scripture tells us, ';Don't muzzle a working ox,'; and, ';A worker deserves his pay.';





However, if you are working for a ';business'; whose products you honestly know are bringing harm to people and society, here's what the Bible says to you, especially if you are a Christian:





Rom 6:10-16


When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us.


From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That's what Jesus did.


That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day.


Don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time--remember, you've been raised from the dead!--into God's way of doing things.


Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God.


So, since we're out from under the old tyranny, does that mean we can live any old way we want? Since we're free in the freedom of God, can we do anything that comes to mind?


Hardly. You know well enough from your own experience that there are some acts of so-called freedom that destroy freedom. Offer yourselves to sin, for instance, and it's your last free act. But offer yourselves to the ways of God and the freedom never quits. All your lives you've let sin tell you what to do.





Rom 12:1-2


So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.


Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.





Advice your friend to quit being used by the Devil in destroying the lives of people and those who love them; to get out of that job fast. There are good works that God has already prepared in advance for us to do: To build lives and communities and not contribute to their destruction. Let's rather do them. That God will be pleased.









By doing the act of passing weed you're doing an immoral act, or at least an illegal one. Disobedience to the civil magistrate is a sin.


(Colossians 3:23-25) ';Whatever you do, do your work heartily as for the Lord...........he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong...';
