The following is my first paste: hope it's my last.
"Did the church ever need to seek permission from the government to be exempt from taxes?
Were churches prior to 1954 taxable?
No, churches have never been taxable. To be taxable a
church would first need to be under the jurisdiction, and therefore under the taxing authority, of the
government. The First Amendment clearly places the church outside the jurisdiction of the civil
government:
'Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, nor
prohibiting the free exercise thereof'."
The Church has always been FREE to preach and teach the gospel that saves:
but the Ministry has sold out to the highest bidder; in essence, the Ministry has
sold out for filthy lucre to become a whore.
