That "tax exemption" is OUR money--WE are the churches. To ask the church to pay taxes on their money is asking us to again pay--it's double taxation.
....not going to be able to exhort the people to live as Christians unless they give up their tax exemption.
I agree with you Lou L, but you have to agree, that is their most effective weapon. They have kept a lot of Pastors in check with that weapon. If our Pastors would dare them to try to stop them from speaking the truth, in spite of losing that precious “tax exemption” I think we would see some changes in America.
