We form an artificial entity called a corporations created by the state to take advantage of the limitation on personal liability
Lawsuits have certainly changed our freedom. Whenever the public is involved, a potential lawsuit is at hand. It is for protection that the corporation is formed in the first place. That is very sad.
The artificial entity, the corporation, was invented long before lawsuits. It is really unbiblical since its purpose was to outlive the generation of the community that started it. When God calls a certain group together He renews it by His Spirit on a moment by moment basis. When the purpose of that community is fulfilled it should pass away and its members absorbed into a new calling and a new community with a different personality and a different purpose is raised up. The artificial entity with a life of its own exists outside the life of that new community and forces it to conform to its calling rather than what the Spirit may have for it. It is not always in conflict, but if you look at the majority of the small to medium size churches that have been in existence for a couple of generations, the majority of them have no real life. They are just doing businesslike their parents did. Like Hezekiah, better they should have died than live another 15 years and brought a Manasseh into this world.
