501c3 Pastors EXPOSED!

church-state-onePlease check out this pdf file that I just now placed on my server from the IRS website. Reason it’s on my server from this day forward is because of what happened last Sabbath in the middle of the night as we all slept. The US government passed the tax reform laws that also removed a portion of the 501c3 many pastors will now deny ever existed in the coming years. This is why I will keep it online as long as possible.

Notice what it says on page 4 of this IRS instruction manual all pastors must read before signing unto the long prophesied 501c3. Now I am not going to read all of it, but I do think most should. Truth is, this is something all of us already knew. That in mind, it does say that the holder of the 501c3 can jeopardize their tax free status by committing certain acts listed in that manual. To give you an idea, it does says the pastors must not influence legislation or intervene in any political campaign whatsoever, and if you read on in the following pages they go into great detail how the pastors cannot say thing one about any political candidate or law, past, present or future to their congregation.  Continue reading →

Hillary Clinton’s Pastor Compared Her 2016 Election Loss to Jesus’s Death

hillaryclinton97Hillary Clinton’s pastor compared her defeat to President Trump in the 2016 election to Jesus Christ’s death.

 “You, our nation, our world, is experiencing a black Friday,” Rev. Bill Shillady wrote to Clinton one day after her loss. “Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while.”

He also said “life is filled with a lot of Fridays” and Good Friday “represented the day that everything fell apart.”

“Today, you are experience a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!” he continued.   Continue reading →

Instead of peacefully providing a safe haven for observances of faith, places of worship in the U.S. are beginning to prepare for the worst amid the recent events in the War on Terror, experts told Hollie McKay of Fox News. 

 “I’m pretty sure there will be attacks in the future,” International Christian Concern president Jeff King told McKay. “Until [radical Islam is defeated], we can expect Christians, including in the West, to rationally tighten security measures and try to protect themselves from attack.”

Two men operating for ISIS killed a Normandy, France, priest, slitting his throat in open church in late July, signaling places of worship as potential targets for terror in the U.S. and abroad.

Pope Francis Insists that “Greater Politics” is the Realm of the Church, June 3, 2016

On June 3, 2016 Pope Francis addressed the judges and magistrates of the Vatican, insisting that the Church has a duty to intervene in political issues that cause “open wounds and dramatic suffering.” Citing the current model of the criminal justice system, he decried the prevalence of corruption and strictly penal punishments.

Pope Francis insisted that for true justice, punishment is not enough. Rather, both victims and offenders must be re-educated to give them hope for a successful re-integration into society. “No penalty that doesn’t give hope is valid. If it doesn’t give hope, it’s torture.”

“Forcefully reiterating” the Church’s stance against the death penalty, Pope Francis implores all to “let it be God who chooses when the time has come.”  Source

Church-State Separation Groups Take Issue With Iowa Governor’s Bible Reading Proclamation

born-again-bible-pd-701x381DES MOINES, Iowa — Three church-state separation groups are expressing objection to a proclamation issued by the governor of Iowa that urges residents to participate in a statewide Bible reading marathon.

In April, Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation at the state capitol urging participation in a 99 county Bible reading marathon scheduled for June 30 through July 3. The Iowa Prayer Caucus, the National Governor’s Prayer Team and the United States Prayer Council organized the event.

“Whereas all Scripture is essential to prepare us to be the people God wants us to be and to accomplish the purpose for which he created us,” the proclamation reads in part, “and whereas, America, being founded upon biblical principles and Judeo-Christian ethics, as taught in the Bible, paid tribute to the Bible for its important influence upon the development of our nation by many of our great national leaders such as President Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson…”  Continue reading…

In historic visit to Hiroshima, Obama calls on the world to morally evolve

obamaPresident Obama came face to face with the horror of nuclear war Friday in a somber visit to Hiroshima, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to tour the site of the atomic bombing 71 years ago that killed tens of thousands in an instant and ushered in the nuclear age.

In a sweeping address that reflected on the obligations of humankind, Obama wrestled with the inherent contradiction that centuries of technical advancement have both made it easier to bind people together and given them the capacity for the carnage seen in this city. And he confronted the cold reality that his own goal of a world without nuclear firepower remains frustratingly out of reach.  Continue reading…
