Good.

Let the government strip the tax provision from the churches. The churches will be freed from the onerous silencing of pastors and clergy. The pulpit is a strong voice for change and always has been, so restoring the freedom to challenge the all encompassing power of the state is the beginning of change for the better.

Calling people to a higher purpose and repentance outweighs any monetary gain from obeying a state imposed restriction for obedience to a tax statute.

First they came for your tax exemption. That is only the start.

Absolutely!
I was just about to say that IF LOSING TAX STATUS MEANS THE CHURCHES ARE FREE...FREE TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, IT IS WORTH IT.
I would gladly contribute more to have that freedom.
Overall, that makes the price of freedom pretty cheap.

Agreed...though I imagine hate speech laws will multiply so as to effectively intimidate many who speak their mind. However, none of this approximates the burden Christ took on the Cross.

Such speech will be made legally hate speech. Ministers will be sued and jailed. Church property will be seized IMO. Unless the people rise up and throw off the yoke of an oppressive central government, dark days are coming.

Make no mistake, though. If pastors and clergy continued to speak out even after giving up tax exempt status, the brown shirts would be at the door, like salivating wolves. The goal of all that we saw last week was to, No. 1, enslave the American people, and No. 2, to cleanse America of Christianity, and, of her history. Now, some believe a new world order will be the replacement. That remains to be seen after what happens in the next year and a half. One thing seems sure, there will be no peace here because of the enemies within.
