Jim and Free Republic Colleagues,
When will Pastor John McArthur (and Rev. Franklin Graham) start "obeying" Jesus Christ's COMMAND (presented in three gospels) to "Render Unto Caesar" ?
Would ANYONE at Free Republic accept "30 pieces of Obama tax-exempt status silver" to agree to NOT ENDORSE political candidates at Free Republic ?
Would ANYONE at Free Republic accept "30 pieces of Obama tax-exempt status silver" to agree to NOT discuss political issues at Free Republic ?
Hardly.
We are "free" men and women.
Pastors John McArthur and Franklin Graham are "voluntary" slaves-hirelings on the U.S. Government plantation.
Why ?
These Americans pastors "voluntarily" trade their "complete freedom" to stand at their (God's ?) pulpits to "preach" ...
so long as they don't offend Uncle Sam.
What a moral disaster.
American has been in a STEADY state of moral-spiritual decline ever since 1954 ... when church tax-exempt status was TIED to "political silence" in the Johnston Amendment of 1954.
Do Pastors John McArthur and Franklin Graham want to see a NUCLEAR-GRADE U.S. SPIRITUAL REVIVAL ?
DIVORCE Church Tax-Exempt status vis-a-via IRS 501-C3.
My resentment against these "spiritual leaders" is that they already KNOW the TRUTH ... and prefer to accept Caesar's GOLD in exchange for TRUSTING the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for their financial needs.

I think the level on one of your test tubes is a little low
I have reached a point in my physical and spiritual life where the little things are superceded by the big ones
Even Judas had a purpose
Ezra 7:23-24King James Version (KJV)
23 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
