Political and Church Law Version

CALLED OUT!

Yes! The church can be re-empowered and regain the former glory and influence she once knew in America. But in order to do so the church must stop acting as an underling, as a subordinate, as a dependent, of the State. The church must cease asking for State favors and come out of the whore . Here you will learn some important facts and problems associated with the corporate 501c3 status, and what happens to churches and ministries when they ask for these State favors and operate as "nonprofit tax-exempt religious corporations." We'll present some indispensable legal, theological, and historical facts that will probably amaze you. Ok, it all starts with how the church is birth? Is it birth as a Corporation or a Church? So, let’s look into each of the legal entities and see the advantages and disadvantages. Corporation. An artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of persons created by statute as a legal entity. The legal attributes of the corporation and the alleged “benefits” that attorneys most commonly discuss with churches to convince them of their need to incorporate are: A corporation is defined as: 1. A corporation has limited liability protection. 2. A corporation may exist in perpetuity. 3. A corporation may hold title to real property. One additional legal attribute of any corporation is something that attorneys generally don't like to discuss with their church clients: In point of fact, there is a great deal that your attorney is not likely to disclose, in the way of the various legal attributes of the corporation, that you might not find so attractive.

There were numbers of things that I knew that I was never able to say from the pulpit because if you advance the cause of one candidate or impede the cause of the other you can lose your Government Favor (501c3) status not (tax exemption, will explain the difference later in the article). That would have been disastrous not only for the church, but for any school and seminary, everything. So you are gagged. You cannot do that. The IRS, a branch of our government, has succeeded in gagging the Church. " Acceptance of State favors ( 501c3 ) has, indeed, had "disastrous" consequences on the churches in America. The church has been effectively silenced? Now the disastrous consequences are being felt by the entire nation. Is there a remedy?

Baron de Montesquieu (1748)

The Framers of America's Founding Documents relied heavily upon the writings of the French political philosopher, Baron de Montesquieu. Typical of Montesquieu's brilliant insight, he once wrote that: “A more certain way to attack religion is by favor , by the comforts of life, by the hope of wealth; not by what reminds one of it, but by what makes one forget it; not by what makes one indignant, but by what makes men lukewarm , when other passions act on our souls, and those which religion inspires are silent . In the matter of changing religion , State favors are stronger than penalties.” The Spirit of the Laws, Baron de Montesquieu (1748)
