Mrsmel, why were the Jewish Religious Leaders so subservient to Rome ?
Well, one reason is that the "evil" Roman Empire had rebuilt the Temple in Jerusalem. It was beautiful. Magnificent.
... much like today's modern American Christian Churches with their buildings, coffee kiosks, internet websites, twitter accounts, missionary trips to the moon, free bibles and bottled water for the homeless.
Rome's Caesar PAID for the Jerusalem Temple, and he DEMANDED a great return for his investment.
Caesar demanded "obedience" in exchange for his "gifts" to the Jewish people.
The U.S. Government HELPS PAY/SUBSIDIZE the "material glory" of the modern American Christian Church system (tax deduction credits) ...
and like Caesar, Uncle Sam DEMANDS a fair return on his investment.
Uncle Sam demands "obedience" in exchange for his "gifts" to the modern American Christian Church.
That obedience (as Houston's LGBT Mayor fully understands) is NOT critizing Uncle Sam's policies, especially promotion of Gays, Islam and other "garbage".
==============================================
What's the "magic" solution for America's Christian Churches ...
so that Pastors can FREELY preach the "complete truth" without violation of their IRS 501-C3 contract ?
Dump their IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status.
DIVORCE their IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status.
Cancel their IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status.
Jettison their IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status.
Ever heard of that GREAT Christian Conservative institution: Hillsdale College ?
Rush Limbaugh talks about them all the time, full of praise for their "legal acumen".
Hillsdale College REFUSES to have "any" tax-exempt status.
Why ?
They don't want the government's FREE MONEY that hides the "Chains of Free Speech Slavery".
==============================================
Many American Christians wonder “why” our nation is gradually slipping away into spiritual darkness, especially since 1954.
Why has it been over 100 years since America had a (genuinely) great National Revival ?
Sure, Rev. Billy Grahman's Crusades were great; but did they fundamentally change America's "spiritual core" ? NO.
The 700 Club television network, James Dobson's "Focus on the Family", Promise Keepers, were great; but did they fundamentally change America's "spiritual core" ? NO.
Great Christian movies like "The Bible"; "Son of God", "Fireproof", "Facing the Giants" are great; but did they fundamentally change America's "spiritual core" ? NO.
Great Christian athletes and coaches like Jim Tebow and Tony Dungy; but did they fundamentally change America's "spiritual core" ? NO.
Consider the year 1954. It was the beginning of a tidal wave of spiritual darkness that has destroyed a “Christian America”.
What happened in 1954 ?
1) WHY did LBJ's stealth "satanic agenda" in 1954 DIRECTLY CAUSE in 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court banning Christian Prayers in America’s Public schools ?
2) WHY did LBJ's clandestine "satanic agenda" in 1954 DIRECTLY CAUSE in 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court allowing legalized Abortion (56 million murdered children) ?
====================================================================
Americans and Israelis celebrated in June 2010 when the STUXNET computer virus crippled Iran's nuclear program, reportedly destroying one-fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges (Wikipaedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet).
Clearly, computer viruses and malware can be powerful weapons, silently destroying an from the inside.
The enemy doesn't know what happened until it's too late, when defeat is inevitable.
Satan is the sworn enemy of America's Christians and Churches, attacking from all directions, 24/7/365 days a year.
"What If" Satan could plant a "spiritual malware-virus" into America's Christian Churches ?
Would Satan "play nice" or go for a bloody kill, like he did to Rome's early Christian Church using lions in the Coliseum ?
Satan knows that the "LOVE of money" (not money itself) is a powerful spiritual weapon.
What does this have to do with 1954 ?
What does this have to do with U.S. President Lyndon Baines Johnson ?
In 1954 U.S. Senator L.B. Johnson "spiritually castrated" America's Christian Churches.
It's a perfectly accurate picture. Bloody, painful, loss (surrender) of "spiritual power".
Is that image too graphic or intense for you ?
Too bad. I'm just the messenger.
Exactly how did LBJ "spiritually castrate" America's Christian Churches in 1954 ???
He offered them MONEY, MONEY and more MONEY ... billions and billions of dollars for "wonderful" church activities and new programs.
MONEY for new church programs to spread Christ's Gospel in Billy Graham Crusades, "Focus on the Family" radio programs, and giving FREE bibles to the Homeless.
MONEY for great Christian Universities.
MONEY for Missionary teams to Haiti and Russia.
MONEY for Moody Bible University and it's network of radio programs.
"FREE" Money ... all in exchange for IRS 501-C3 Church Tax Exempt Status.
Read (later) about the Johnson Amendment of 1954.
The best internet link is: History of the Johnson Amendment of 1954
What's another great information source for how LBJ's 1954 Church Tax-Exempt Status has SPIRITUALLY CASTRATED America's Christian Churches ?
Watch any of the Youtube Videos listed below.

Discover why a conservative evangelical Pro-Life Tea-Party Christian is challenging Christian pastors and churches to jettison their IRS 501-C3 tax-exempt status.
Join the growing Christian spiritual awareness that IRS 501-C3 "marriage" between Uncle Sam’s (sometimes EVIL) Federal Government and YOUR CHURCH is a great "Satanic Deception".

CHALLENGE your Pastor to tell the Congregation about IRS Pamphlet "P-1828" (downloadable) for the "specific legal details" about your local church's "Marriage" to the IRS / Federal Government.
