ADF attorneys KNOW FULL WELL that Churches' "voluntary" acceptance of the IRS 501-C3 "federal contract" means that Christian Churches SURRENDER their rights to ... First Admendment "Free Speech" ...

What the ????

[jmaroneps37]

Liberalism is a mental illness. These people should NEVER be put in charge of our life - ever! What’s next mandates requiring Christians to wear cross armbands?

[Dr. Sivana]

I don’t believe there has ever been a First Amendment based challenge to the IRS regs.

[MortMan]

IBTZ.

You should consider that preaching about the biblical connotations of homosexuality is NOT “political activity”.

[Joe Boucher]

How about going after all those negro churches and pastors pushing obammy?
Homosexual agenda?
Illegal invasion?
Islam?
Etc?..

"ADF attorneys KNOW FULL WELL that Churches' "voluntary" acceptance of the IRS 501-C3 "federal contract" means that Christian Churches SURRENDER their rights to ... First Admendment "Free Speech" ... when practiced behind a "tax-exempt church pulpit". Period."

Nonsense. There is not a single court case to uphold this IRS regulation. The IRS knows the regulation is so blatently unconstitutional it has never even tried to enforce it in court. Not one. single. time.

Churches should go underground

How can marriage be political? Oh, that’s right! The queers have made it a political issue, haven’t they?

Marriage is not in the U.S.Constitution. Neither is abortion. Both are issues that should be handled by the States and not by the Federal Government.

[CGASMIA68]

With these supremo’s how will that end?

[woweeitsme]

I belong to a small, evangelical church, and taking away the tax exempt status may kill our church. Our pastor DOES preach the Bible and that homosexuality is a sin if acted on.

It’s just a matter of time, folks. I wouldn’t doubt that there are already “spies” in Bible teaching churches that are reporting on pastors’ sermons.

[longfellow]

This mayor is just following her instincts. Remember the first brown shirts were queers.

[C. Edmund Wright]

You are a victim of an assumption you’ve bought into. Suddenly, you are a Christian “compliance” officer - instead of the real point - which is that having this tax status should not quell a group’s free speech. You’ve also swallowed the assumption that preaching on homosexuality is political speech.

There are cases to be made for churches to opt out of 501 3C designations, but not this one.

[Westbrook]

Wasn’t 501-3c contrived by the Johnson (LBJ) Administration?

[Jack Hammer]

On the face of it, this seems an extremely bizarre position in direct contravention of the First Amendment.

What on earth is going on here????

[Arlis]

Have to say I agree completely.

If Christians are giving for tax benefit reasons, their motives are questionable.

The true church will only benefit from jettisoning all claims for tax-exempt status - and then can follow the Lord faithfully without state interference......while this has always been true in our nation, with the Marxists/atheists now ruling, it’s time to cut the tax-exempt claim. And it should have really been done long ago.

Until the time comes - which may be close - where the state begins arresting and outlawing Christian belief specifically..........

[McBuff]

The fallacy in this thinking is that the government is “giving” a tax exemption. . .as opposed to the reality that the Federal government has no jurisdiction over the “free exercise” of religion.

[skeeter]

How will the IRS view all of those rainbow flags gracing orthodox “christian” churches in my area?

[Patton@Bastogne]

I carefully wrote every word of that sentence.

My words are "exact and precise truth".

Simply download IRS Pamplet-1828 ... and read for yourself ... all about the lawful "Federal Contract" (with full terms and conditions) ...

I invite you to watch any of the YouTube videos I've created that discusss this subject.

Grab and cup of coffee, watch a Youtube video, and then "pray about it".



Finally, as you see in one of the images I've included in this post, as well as each YouTube video ...

I do NOT accept or solicit donations of ANY kind ... am NOT selling books or seminars ... am NOT starting a "new" church fellowship.

I'm simply speaking the "truth".

Thus, if you are NOT at 501C3 organization, you are entitled to engage in political speech and have a seat at the table in acts of government. Government is infringing upon your civil rights if you're a taxpayer. We need a pastor who not using 501C3 to file a civil rights lawsuit against the mayor. It may take a few to tie down that tyrant.
