Some poster thoughts:
"From the May 2004 Idaho Observer:
Churches need not be 501(c)(3)
In what was one of the most inspiring presentations about faith and contemporary life, Peter Kershaw discussed the legal and spiritual fallacy of 501(c)(3) tax exempt status for churches at Freedom Law School's Health and Freedom Rally in Irvine, Calif. March 14, 2004.
Aside from the obvious point that churches getting their sanction from God should never lower themselves to contract with the state for privileges of existence, the IRS Code even provides churches that fit certain guidelines with an automatic exemption.
The bottom line is that 501(c)(3) churches either filed for their tax-exempt status out of ignorance or they are for-profit businesses operating in commerce with a government exemption. In either case, 501(c)(3) churches are misguided.
Below is merely a legal outline of Kershaw's argument. An audio-taped recording of Kershaw's presentation in Irvine is available from Freedom Law School for $8 (760-868-4271). It should be heard by pastors of 501(c)(3) institutions so the “ignorance” option may be removed from their churches.

In order to be considered for tax-exempt status by the IRS, an organization must fill out and submit IRS Form 1023 and 1024. However, note what the IRS says regarding churches and church ministries in Publication 557:
Some organizations are not required to file Form 1023. These include:
Churches, interchurch organizations of local units of a church, conventions or associations of churches, or integrated auxiliaries of a church, such as a men's or women's organization, religious school, mission society, or youth group. These organizations are exempt automatically if they meet the requirements of section 501(c)(3).
Churches Are “Automatically Tax-Exempt”
According to IRS Code § 508(c)(1)(A):
Special rules with respect to section 501(c)(3) organizations.
(a) New organizations must notify secretary that they are applying for recognition of section 501(c)(3) status.
(c) Exceptions.
(1) Mandatory exceptions. Subsections (a) and (b) shall not apply to --
(A) churches, their integrated auxiliaries, and conventions or associations of churches.
Thus, we see from the IRS' own publications, and the tax code, that it is completely unnecessary for any church to apply for tax-exempt status. In the IRS' own words a church “is automatically tax-exempt.”
And what about tax-deductibility? Doesn't a church still need to become a 501(c)(3) so that contributions to it can be taken as a tax deduction? The answer is no! According to IRS Publication 526.
Organizations That Qualify To Receive Deductible Contributions
You can deduct your contributions only if you make them to a qualified organization. To become a qualified organization, most organizations other than churches and governments, as described below, must apply to the IRS.
In the IRS' own words a church “is automatically tax-deductible.”
Not only is it completely unnecessary for any church to seek 501c3 status, to do so becomes a grant of jurisdiction to the IRS by any church that obtains that State favor. In the words of Steve Nestor, IRS Sr. Revenue Officer (ret.):
“I am not the only IRS employee who's wondered why churches go to the government and seek permission to be exempted from a tax they didn't owe to begin with, and to seek a tax deductible status that they've always had anyway. Many of us have marveled at how church leaders want to be regulated and controlled by an agency of government that most Americans have prayed would just get out of their lives. Churches are in an amazingly unique position, but they don't seem to know or appreciate the implications of what it would mean to be free of government control.”

Since I'm a voice crying in the wilderness that America is the promised land for Christians, and with all this talk about birth vs. citizenship, I thought it a good time to throw out something for y'all to think about.
America was founded with the First Virginia Charter of 1606. In it, Christians were given authority to spread the gospel AND to pursue and receive justice of any who would rob them, and who would get in the way of their purpose. The Jews who founded CorpUSA knew darn well America was under the jurisdiction of Jesus Christ, for Cornwallis told George Washington that a HOLY WAR would be waged against America. Holy War is what the Jewish sages have long said must be waged AGAINST ALL NATIONS NOT UNDER THEIR JURISDICTION.
Christians, whether one, or a group, are the body of Christ:
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that *** ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Rom 12:5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
1Cr 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.
1Cr 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Should, CAN, this body, of, and under the jurisdiction of Christ, also be joined with the Harlot, antiChrist CorpUSA?
1Cr 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid.
1Cr 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Cr 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1Cr 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Cr 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and **** ye are not your own? 1Cr 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, **** which are God's.
Now what did Jesus say about rendering unto Caesar?
Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's AND UNTO GOD WHAT IS GOD'S.
Are not Christians GOD's?
Note Jesus telling this parable about the kingdom of heaven, and the man who came in without his wedding garment [ Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; ] when the Pharisees come to entrap him in his teachings:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/B...&x=53&y=11&b=Mat&c=22&v=1
Mat 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
Mat 22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
Mat 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?
Mat 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Mat 22:22 When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Remember, THEY HAD NO KING BUT CAESAR.
In Matthew 17:
Mat 17:24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Mat 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Mat 17:26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Mat 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. [more about that at another time]
Who would Jesus tax, His own children, OR STRANGERS?
Now Ezekiel 34 prophecies of Jesus coming to take His Lost Sheep of the House of Israel [those who hear His voice and follow Him - John 10] into their own land. [See also II Samuel 7:10.] Those who do not follow Him are not His sheep...they are STRANGERS [and persecutors, and spiritual children of the bondwoman, an allegory], WHOM HIS SHEEP FLEE.
Galatians 4:22 - 31:
The two covenants, one of the bondwoman and one of the free, an allegory:
Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. [See the First Virginia Charter.]
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
How does one enter into this kingdom, and put on their "wedding garment"?
They are baptized in Christ, and thus are BORN AGAIN, into the kingdom of heaven:
Jhn 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

We have inherited a city whose builder and maker is God:

What if 40 or 60 million Christians woke up to the fact ["and put on their beautiful garments" - Isaiah 52] that they were living in the Kingdom God had prepared for them, and decided to "fight" for it? http://www.blueletterbible.org/B...?b=Jhn&c=18&v=36&t=KJV#36

The Truth shall make you free...and make the ADL and Banksters nuts!! Let them charge all the debt they want to CorpUSA, and let them drown in their own red ink when Christians come out of it.
Food for thought.
"The Constitution is a compact, it is true, but the people are not a party to it.".....It is a fundamental principle of contract law that a contract cannot be applied or enforced against any entity or individual that is not a party to the contract....... www.thepriceofliberty.org/05/08/10/greenslade.htm
