It will indeed be an issue, and now we have been told so by none other than the Solicitor General of the United States. The loss of tax-exempt status would put countless churches and religious institutions out of business, simply because the burden of property taxes and loss of charitable support would cripple their ability to sustain their mission.

Obama intends to make religious liberty unaffordable.

And that’s the point of this exercise.
And it’s not generic “religious” liberty the left intends to squelch, it’s Christianity. Muslims and PC “Christian” churches will be given a pass.

If the state can dictate religious doctrine,
how is that NOT a state religion?

RESIST!

If Christians had looked to GOD instead of tax-exemptions, America would not be in this shape.

MALACHI 3:10
Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough [to receive it].

This gay marriage stuff makes me so angry, what the anti Christian courts are doing, am so fed up.

Any Christian that claims they are not angry??? Yes angry and sad and weeping for the lost, but yes angry.

anger is allowed.

Black churches have a choice, follow God or follow Obama.

I had a libinlaw attempt to deny that it was hypocrisy to ignore the Muslim baker that refused to make a wedding cake while there was all the focus in Indiana on the Christian pizza place.

Something about the Muslims being a minority so they didn’t need to be addressed.

Most have already made that choice.
There will be even “Christian” churches that will be given a pass so long as they serve the greater purpose of advancement of the State.

Let the black churches lose their tax exempt status then. Perhaps it may change some minds.

Much like Henry VIII did to the Catholic Church in England over a hissy fit of not granting a divorce so he could trade her in on a younger model who he had subsequently beheaded on bogus charges so he could move on to wife #3.

Are we the generation that lost a Christian culture for our children and grand-children?

Yes, what everyone must remember is that a loss of tax exempt status means not only the organization pays taxes but the donors do not get a tax deduction. That is HUGE.

Hey “O”...Coercing citizens out of their Constitutional RIGHTS is always an ‘ISSUE’.

If you knew ANYTHING about history or about the US in particular... you’d KNOW that!

All Bible based churches will have that choice to make. Every true preacher of the Word is effected. They can stop marrying and burying people. That will be their only option left.

The 501C3 will be the down fall of even mega churches. It ties a preachers hands to PC bilge.

Most PC churches only preach Love, Peace, GIVE till it hurts. Been in quite a few of those.

We no longer see the preaching of Revelations and the End Times. We do see every thing is geared to the 30 and under. Nothing for Seniors. Those praise hymns are a hypnotic chant, not a true song of praise like the Old Rugged Cross, or Amazing Grace. Only thing wrong with the old songs is they need to be played at a faster tempo, add some C & W or Blue Grass sound and you made them new again. Those songs had real meaning.

Praise hymns don’t cut the mustard. Why should my old hurting back and joints try to stand a hr trying to sing what was meant to be spoken, not set to music. And if you aren’t preaching the FULL WORD, I don’t want to go to your church anyway.

Yep...Bible-believing Christian churches who don’t toe the party line will be targeted, subjugated, and destroyed, along with the good people who attend them. All the while, the Filthy Disease-Ridden Queers will stand over it all and laugh that they have “triumphed” over their mortal enemies, the Christian Church and their God.

Two things they don’t understand that they need to be aware of; Almighty God, who (unless they repent) will honor their decision to spend Eternity in unimaginable torment away from Him, and the man who has ‘nothing left to lose’.
