Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: ARE CHURCHES SOCIAL CLUBS FOR LOSERS? - The Black Regiment is Missing -by Michael Gaddy If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions; and experiences declares that man is the only animal which devours his own kind. Thomas Jefferson Old King George III didn't do a lot of worrying about the "rabble" in the colonies that were making so much noise and causing trouble with throwing the tea in the Boston Harbor. They would be easy to handle. He would make life unbearable by granting immunity from prosecution to his soldiers there. Then he would blockade the port and starve the upstarts into submission. All these atrocities committed against the "rabble" came to be known as the "Intolerable Acts." Lost in our revisionist history is the identity of the group of patriots who inspired the colonists. They would be none other than the ministers/ preachers of the colonies. Not even the writings of those such as Thomas Paine did as much to motivate the colonists in their pursuit of liberty, as did those who espoused resistance and civil disobedience from the pulpit. These brave souls recognized unjust rules and despotic rulers and preached against them. King George, who had prompted many of these men of God to leave England by demanding all of their profession submit to licensing by the crown, came to fear this group he referred to as the "Black Regiment." He called them this because of the black clerical robes they wore when preaching. Without these men of God, it is very possible there would never have been a Declaration of Independence. These ministers were very much opposed to the divine right of kings. Often heard from the pulpit was the cry "Restore the crown rights of King Jesus." These robed clerics became the number one source of recruits for what would become the Continental Army. Many of them single-handedly raised many companies of recruits and more often than not were requested by their recruits to be the commanders of their companies. Those who did not join the soldiers wrote many impassioned pamphlets insisting on liberty and freedom. These pamphlets were distributed among the troops and kept the morale of the soldiers high. General George Washington often turned to this "Black Regiment" for help. He asked Lutheran pastor John Peter Gabriel Muhlenburg of Woodstock Virginia to raise a regiment of volunteers. Muhlenburg, incensed at the actions of the British at Lexington, Bunker and Breeds Hills, consented. That Sunday Muhlenburg delivered his sermon from Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8. In conclusion he said, "The Bible tells us there is a time for all things and there is a time to preach and a time to pray but the time for me to preach has passed away, and there is a time to fight, and that time has come now. Now is the time to fight! Call for recruits! Sound the drums!" With that Muhlenburg tore away his robe and underneath was the uniform of a Virginia Colonel. He pulled his musket from behind the pulpit, put on his three cornered Colonel's hat and quoted from Nehemiah 4:14, "Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives and your houses." As Muhlenburg and his group of volunteers moved towards Charleston, he was able to recruit hundreds more to the cause of freedom. His uncommon courage on the field of battle was an inspiration to many and he came to be known as the Reverend Major General Muhlenburg. Where are the members of the "Black Regiment" today as a despotic, tyrannical government seeks to enslave us all, send our children to their deaths as they build their world empire and tax and spend us into national poverty? They should surely be listed as missing in action. Could it be our churches and their leaders have sold out to the god called the State? How many of our churches today have succumbed to the government enticement to transfer control of the church from God to the state by becoming "tax-exempt" entities? Again, we beg from government that which God already granted. Retired Senior IRS Agent, Steve Nestor says, "The IRS position has always been that churches are automatically tax-exempt and tax-deductible without having to apply for 501(c)(3) recognition. Nevertheless, many thousands of churches have submitted form 1023 to the IRS for the "privilege" of being something the IRS already acknowledges they are." When a church becomes a tax-exempt corporation they submit the church to the laws of the state. Matthew 6: 24 states, "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." Government can only tax that over which it has dominion and control. If the government can tax the church then there is no separation of church and state. "The Constitution has not placed our religious rights under the power of any public functionary." Thomas Jefferson. The very reason the "Black Regiment" is missing in our present day world is the ministers/preachers fear loss of this tax-exempt status if they speak against the state. There is no cry from the pulpit to stop the usurpations of the government as it steadily moves to enslave us all. There is very little but total support for unconstitutional wars that kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and thousands of our own soldiers. There is no plea to stop the usurpations of our GOD given rights to liberty and freedom as listed in the Constitution by the government. Is this not the lack of a separation of church and state we should be concerned with? Michael Chitwood, of the firm Chitwood and Chitwood, an accounting firm that specializes in tax issues for churches, recently said in a seminar. "You must be ordained by the IRS as well as ordained by God." Continuing with his lecture he said, "Pastor, if you don't get your house in order, get ready, you are going to have a jail ministry" "There is not a shadow of right in the general government to intermeddle with religion. This subject is, for the honor of America, perfectly free and unshackled. The government has no jurisdiction over it." James Madison One of my favorite ministers from the State of Mississippi has said from the pulpit "over 90% of the churches in America are nothing but social clubs for losers." Perhaps this affiliation with and fear of the state is the reason why. His sermons often combine scripture with quotes from Patrick Henry, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Jeremiah 50: 6, "My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place." It is time for the "Black Regiment" to assume their duties to the church and forget and forever sever their relationship with the state. "The first Amendment's prohibition of laws respecting an establishment of religion has been described as resting on the belief that a union of government and religion tends to destroy government and to degrade religion, and upon an awareness of the historical fact that governmentally established religions and religious persecutions go hand in hand." 16-A Am-Jur 2nd, Constitutional law: 466 Dissent of the Majority in Pennsylvania we talked about in class. http://www.constitution.org/afp/pennmi00.htm Conspiracy in Philadelphia book by Gary North in pdf format. http://garynorth.com/conspiracyinphiladelphia.pdf More to come.

"Says" -- present participle. Wish he'd show us somewhere the "Service" is still asserting that!
"Says" -- present participle. Wish he'd show us somewhere the "Service" is still asserting that! ==================================================== That's called 'a given,' meaning it is implied or assumed. FF to 2015. It is implied or assumed, and is a given that if a church openly speaks out against a myriad of corruptions and deviant lifestyle, they stand a good chance of losing their 501(c) (3) recognition. Social clubs.
If it's alsways been the IRS's position, it has to be in the code somewhere, past or present -- because it's not the way the "Service" behaves now.
I'm not sure what significance having 501(c)(3) recognition has for a church as an entity, but from the standpoint of the church members it doesn't matter until the member is audited, and then the government would presumably have to prove that contributions to the church aren't tax exempt because the church isn't really a church. I've never heard of the IRS doing that, but I don't doubt that they have. Has anybody here heard of a church member's contributions being disallowed as tax deductible because gov deemed the church to not be a church? Lots of churches are in living rooms these days, and have been for a good while.
Every 501(c)(3) that I support is meticulous in documenting/acknowledging each donation, as well as a year-ending summary of all. Everyone is scared witless of the IRS.

Right -- the churches preach "Perfect love casteth ot all fear," but just like everything with any guts to it, they claim it's meant only spiritually/personally/emotionally -- and pee their pants at the very thought of the IRS. They also happily, giddily, joyously do volunteer work for their IRS masters with each payroll -- and compulsively preach at people to bow down to Caesar's publicans. Please note yawl that most of the time when taxes and IRS are mentioned in a sermon it's strictly as a gag, to jolly guffawing from the pew- sitters. The sons are free -- Mt 17:26!!!
