Good points.
I’ve about reached the conclusion, perspective, position
that
tax deducted giving to God already has received it’s reward.
Let your left hand not know what your right hand is doing in giving to God is the Biblical way.
Too I'd rather see a church burdened by the governments tax than a church controlled by the governments agenda and dictates as related to it's mission and what is spoken in the pulpit. For example I am not Roman Catholic for example but I am highy disturbed that say a Roman Catholic operated hospital or pharmacutical charity be ordered to violate it's conscience and/or doctorines. That is what concerns me most. That was the founders intent that government never be allowed to do so.
Government should never be allowed to dictate the message or mission of the church. Government has created a mess by thinking it could do a better job than what the church, private charity, and business once accomplished much better. Tax them if it must but get the government out of the affairs of the churches commissioned mission.
