The key element is "meet the requirements",
That might include having the proper number of perverts in the ministry.
Or closing up church for a year or three on a bogus pandemic.
And more.

IRS approval comes at a great cost, it is a compromise which places the government above the church.

Before 501(c)(3) existed, it could absolutely be said that a church could be tax exempt, but not a 501(c)(3). (Duh, right? Ha!) But as things stand today, a church being tax exempt and a church being a 501(c)(3) entity are one and the same for no other reason than it is the code section defining the exemption. |
You are wrongly implying that 501(c)(3) is a
sine qua non for tax exemption.

The Gov't will implant a chip in people with the vaccine (think RFID) so you can quickly swipe your hand and the doors will open to let you into the Walmart or a Costco. What will you do then. There will be people in this forum, possibly the same ones that agree that we should tank the economy and not congregate, that will be FOR taking that vaccine and chip because, "We must obey the laws of the land for the Lord's sake.."

Lots of evidence that this is the Gates-Pharma-$$-Greed plan. And they look for the best politicians that $$ can buy.
