Deconstructing Church part 7 The Business of Church and 501c3 Incorporation

Should a church become a non-profit 501c3 organization?

If you do not know what this means, please google "501c3 church" to find out.  by Rory Moore    The fact is we absolutely do not need to incorporate and register as a 501c3 non-profit corporation, yet most have, including every denomination.   There was Constitutional protection for churches for nearly 200 years and churches were just fine.  But in 1954 an ungodly, wicked man named Lyndon Johnson pushed through the 501c3 law and churches enroll for tax benefits and deductions.   Should we exchange our "giving in secret" for the benefit of a tax write off? 501c3 Incorporation is OPTIONAL  and the supposed "benefit" of tax deducting and "legal protection from lawsuits" is but another way for government to track and monitor you. Some Biblical History might help us choose. At the time of Christ, circa 30 A.D., there was agreement between the leaders of religious Israel and government. In fact, the Jewish religious system and leadership over God's people were threatened by the Word and ministry of Jesus. Because they too were in agreement with the government of Rome  (whose symbol was (coincidently?) the eagle), they feared the loss of their status, position, and authority.   Notice they said: John 11:48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. Because the religious leaders of Israel were corrupted by the love of money, position, and status, they sought to preserve the system from which they benefited. Does this sound familiar? It should. The present system of "giving" in the church as  we know it benefits the modern clergy just as it did in Jesus' time.  Jesus referred to the clergy "hierlings", and rightly so.  But the 501c3 church is an un-necessary agreement, a marriage, a union, a contract, an "unequal yoke" with the state for financial benefit and state recognition. As it was in Jesus' time, the clergy and most "ministries" today benefit most from the financial system imposed on God's people.  The devil in the details. This agreement by law, conforms the church to IRS corporate law and requires the creation of:  unscriptural church boards  an unscriptural CEO President, (usually the pastor)  unscriptural membership enrollment unscriptural recording of one's giving for tax reporting  and unscriptural submission to governmental regulation of what may or may not be taught  in the church assembly. 501c3 legal notes: 1."A corporation is a creature of the state... " Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation..." (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43) 2."[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company, 1991; 6th Edition, page 340 3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the State and,therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred upon it. 4. ... the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796 Romans 12:2(NET Bible) Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God—what is good and well-pleasing and perfect. As we conformed by agreement to 501c3 law, we volunteered to permit the secular state to have lawful authority over the churches. Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.   Who are the wolves? The scriptures tell us they are hierlings, leaders of God's people that take authority, position, and their living from those under them. The wolves have willingly become yoked to a worldly kingdom of rulers who are run by their spiritual head, i.e. satan. We are non-political and do not believe in political salvation by any political party. God will use good and evil people in politics to bring His people to their cross as He has done with His people over and over starting in Genesis. The 501c3 is a physical-and lawful agreement that brings the "leaven of Herod" into the pulpit. It also turns a church into a non-profit business. Under the guise of having the benefit of donations, tithes, and offerings being tax-deductible, churches have been snared by the government into a union with a satanically ruled system. Many churches are a denominational franchise, a family-run business, or a "non-profit corporation". Forgive my blunt assessment, but we will gladly and cheerfully give in secret and our Heavenly Father is far greater a rewarder than a tax write off.   Actions to take: 1. Ask the Lord about the ideas and scriptures in this writing. IF you are persuaded, 2.  Find out if your church-denomination or organization is a 501c3 corporation. 3. Renounce and disavow all unscriptural  legal "membership" (yokes) from churches and man-made organizations. 4. Ask the Lord where He would have you give and to whom apart from the manipulation and scripture perversions from people that personally benefit from the offering plate. 5. As God leads, you may need to repent and withdraw from an anti-christ beast system that has taken the church into captivity. 6. Be prepared for leaders who are part of the system to "explain" and justify these ungodly practices in an attempt to persuade you to stay. 7.  You can withdraw "membership" without leaving your assembly as it is the "system" we are departing from, not the church which is the spiritual body of Christ.
