“Unalienable rights, such as freedom of religion, conscience and speech, are not government’s to give or rescind.”
“No, a Tax Exempt status for a Church is a natural right under the Constitution.”
“the Bill of Rights is an unambiguous legal guarantee of our God-given rights.”
I understand what you are saying about our Constitutional rights being natural rights or God-given rights and therefore not up for regulation, taxation, termination, or whatever. But recent history regarding 2nd amendment, 10th amendment, etc., has shown that the liberals and most conservatives believe that the Bill of Rights are rights given to us by the constitution and can they can therefore be regulated, taxed, terminated, or whatever. This is exactly what the liberals are arguing regarding all the rights.
There was a time when this position would not have entered into people’s minds, liberal or conservative. But look at the current administration and all the people that voted for them (and most conservatives), it is internalized into their being. It is what they are.
So, while I agree with you, the majority of people in this country have lost the true meaning of God-given rights. And those people, when given the power and authority will forcibly take God-given rights away.
This is all the more reason to fight and for churches to be outspoken on natural rights. Mega-churches and most tele-evangelists are pathetic religio-tainment centers for exactly the constitutionally ignorant dumb-asses that attend. Real churches need to become much more vocal, aggressive and determined to deliver God’s Word, not PC compliant scripture twisted to suit government toadies.
