Disagree.
The tax exempt status for churches is the federal government keeping the foot on the neck of the churches.
If you are tithing or offering just for the tax credit/deduction you are not tithing or offering in the spirit it should be given.
Churches are in constant fear because of the strangle hold of this status.
There are churches who have voluntary given up the status, have not failed.
Deja vu 1790: The socialist French government was broke and antiChrist so they confiscated church properties; they issued assignats (bonds) on the church properties and within two years had blown all that currency. In 1917, Russian commies destroyed most churches and installed puppets for pastors in the rest. Bela Kun (born Moritz Cohen) led a successful commie revolution in Hungary in 1919. When he closed the churches, the people deposed him. In 1936, the commies looted and burned every church in Spain and began executing their enemies (which started the counter-revolution). Our commie revolution’s fighting will begin when bank runs crash the whole Western fascist-socialist Ponzi and the dollar becomes worthless to foreigners.
I concur. No tax breaks for churches and the government can’t complain when we have much more Christian activism from the pews and sermons.
Satan devised that scheme, and it waters down the message and attempts to eliminates us as the salt of the earth.
