GOD SAID TO TELL THE TRUTH!!

 UNASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH:

WHY ARE YOU, SUPPORTING A OLD TESTAMENT COVENANT KEEPING AND GOVERNMENT CONTROL CHURCHES?

( Your Biblical Truth National & International Messenger & Apostle James Winfree Sr, I'm Here Working, Teaching & Ministering In Serving God's Diverse Kingdom Sons & Daughters In The Body Of Jesus Christ. )

Yes, here in the U.S. most all national governments give Churches tax-exempt status. Exempting Churches from taxes has been a part of American tradition since the inception of our country, although tax exemption for religious organizations did not officially become law until 1894 according to my research.

The original reasons for granting Churches tax-exempt status have not changed significantly over time, even though the ins and outs of applying the tax exemption have certainly become more complicated.

Here is a short, my study list of reasons why Churches have enjoyed tax exemption:

Churches have historically played a significant role in alleviating America's ungodly society’s burdens and lessening the need for our government involvement in using its resources on our tax-paying citizens who need a hand up.

A majority of hospitals still have names tied to Churches, even if the Churches themselves are no longer involved with these hospitals: Baptist Medical Center, St. Luke’s Hospital, etc.

Even many hospitals with “secular” names were originally founded by religious organizations. Throughout much of modern history, Churches were the only entities providing public education. Churches have also historically been at the forefront of programs to feed the poor, clothe and shelter the homeless, care for orphans, etc.

But most of the wealth, monies, finances go to the Pastors, Bishops, and Founders of their ministries, and also to their families and friends.

Its supporting faithful serving members only get a religious word, heartless prayers, and meanless handed-down food.

Because the Church’s work has alleviated the government’s implicit worldly obligation to meet these needs, governments have rewarded the Churches with tax-exempt status, encouraging the Church’s ongoing service to the ungodly community and, Not it's serving, faithful, and supporting members.

We the American people also hold to freedom of religious belief and practice as a foundational, God-given right, and that freedom is protected in the U.S. Constitution.

If Churches were not tax-exempt, many of them would go and do the will, work, and services Jesus Christ commandment, to help its members first, should we take the children's bread and give it to the dogs?

“Just look how your Pastors, Bishops, and religious leaders are living and then look how its members living, meaning you, If you all would stop giving, supporting, and being faithful to them, they will most definitely go out of business or they would do the works of the Lord Jesus Christ.

”The Church that our Lord God Jesus Christ in Acts built and established were to serve first God's Spirit-filled people in the believer's community, Christ believers of the Way had All things in loving common and shared as the Apostles saw the needs.

The closing of today's religious buildings would present a serious impairment to its Pastors, Bishops, and Founders’ ability to feed off of God's people resources.

The tax-exempt status given to Churches allows people donating to them to do so tax-free, or at least tax-discounted. Tax exemption thus incentivizes more and larger donations. With donations being the lifeblood of its religious leadership financially speaking.

Just look and imagine the hardship this is posing on God's people because they are not benefiting from the wealth blessing of the Lord's promised covenant blessing.

God's people are obligated to pay taxes on their income to our government and also pay outdated Old Testament ways of giving such as tithing under the law.

Many people are stopping their charitable giving altogether because of their living conditions and the lack in their lives, the wealth of most preachers will not suffer as a result because they have invested your giving to make more money for themselves and their families and friends.

Americans give hundreds of billions of dollars to Churches and other religious organizations. Their generosity is facilitated and, in a small way, rewarded by the tax-exempt status that Churches enjoy.

There are good reasons why governments extend tax exemption to Churches; when your Pastors, Bishops, and Founders are freer to do the government's work, all of the social benefits to the world and Not to the body of Jesus Christ members especially, ( See, Acts 2:45 - Acts 4:35 ) - ( Rom 12:13) - ( Gal 6:10 ) - (1Tim 5:8 ) - (Jam 2;16 ) - ( 1John 3:17 ). Study to show yourselves well-pleasing in the eyes of God, His sons, and daughters in Christ. Amen.
