The CHURCH; Can it Help?

There is/was a night and day difference between the pre 1900 and the post 1900 governments United States Governments.

The Pre 1900 government leaders mostly kept the government small; the government collected enough taxes in the form of tariffs that paid for the government with no programs. Protectionism of businesses and employee wages were emphasized by the Republicans in the pre 1900 era.

The closest that I could get regarding the size of the early law books – in 1936 the code of federal regulations (CFR) had about 4000 pages; the pages grew to about 22,000 and the cost of compliance with those laws in 1960 was about $2 billion per year.

Ten Thousand Commandments

We unwittingly we keep voting for more government; in 2014 “Federal regulation and intervention cost American consumers and businesses an estimated $1.88 trillion in lost economic productivity and higher prices,” amounting to roughly $15,000 per household, the report said.

We must Reduce to Survive

Federal Over-Spending

The hoped for reduction in size of our government and its web of overreach into our lives is necessary for our survival as a nation.

Our excessively taxed, failing economy and excess government has produced the record longest string of federal deficits:

· 59 years of deficits, 1957 to 2016 (No Balanced Budgets In The Clinton Years).

· 16 years of deficits from 1931 to 1946 (ww2) and

· 15 year years of deficits from 1898 to 1913 (the down payment for the Curse of the Progressive Years.).

On April 15, 2016 our current year federal deficit spending is staggering $5.3 billion per day since our nations New Years Day of October 1, 2016. That is over 5.9 times in magnitude greater than the 2015 deficits that the president touted in the state of the union.

Adding to our deficit troubles, our over taxed and over coddled economy is sputtering into another recession that is predicted to be far worse than the 2008 – 2009 experience.

It is time for the people to wake up and realize our desperate situation.

The scripture is rife with warnings from our Creator God about the worship of idols that will cause the loss of the country and be taken into captivity, oppression or death.

Leviticus 26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. (Detroit?)

Can the Church help “We the People?”

I believe that protection of our land is important to God and that the Church should teach the people to know the heart of God in relationship to the Land. That we should not sin and that we hope to prevent the government from sinning such that we lose our land.

When polled, over 70% of the population responds that they are Christian; that is a super majority. Why do our government schools teach evolution, that there is no God when 70% of the potential voters are Christians? A super majority in the congress can override a presidential veto!

Election messages were regular events in the 1700s, especially in the era leading up to the constitution, and our declaration of independence. Here is a sermon by Samuel West A.M. the pastor of a Church in Dartmouth; spoken to the House of Representatives of the Colony of Massachusetts.

We the People allowed the government to curb the effectiveness of the church in elections.

In 1954 Lyndon Johnson was facing re-election and he was opposed by two tax exempt groups.

Johnson, on July 2, 1954, offered an amendment to a pending, massive, tax code overhaul bill. The bill was supposed to modernize the tax code. Records indicate an absence of committee hearings on the Johnson amendment. No legislative analysis took place to examine the effect the bill and the amendment would have, particularly on churches and religious organizations. Per some opinions, the amendment was simply created to protect Johnson’s re-election.

The bill was signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower on August 16, 1954.

IRS Publication 1828, “Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations,” has the following quote on page 7:

Under the Internal Revenue Code, all IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches and religious organizations, are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.

The Republican and Democrat and Libertarian and Green and other Political parties are classified as 527 tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations.

The political parties are tax exempt yet promote and bash political candidates BUT the tax exempt churches are prohibited from favoring or opposing a political candidate. This is NOT equal protection under the law, in my opinion.

Please note that the Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) that equal protection requirements apply to the federal government through the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

I believe that the churches can help:

In Sunday School, in addition to God’s miracles of creation and about Moses and Joshua the Church could teach about the founding of our own government and our delivery from oppression.

And the Church could teach the Constitution.

And the churches can give messages about the principles of money inflation, how inflation is theft from the people in favor of the government. And how the Supreme Court has allowed us to drift from our constitution.

Note two that the units of measure of physical dimensions and weights are scientifically defined. Our dollar was, in 1792 precisely defined. Silver certificates were issued during the years between 1878 and 1964; were redeemable in silver coins until June of 1967 and for another year were redeemable in raw silver. They are still redeemable in “federal reserve notes.”

The current definition of the dollar is unknown to me; and it varies in value. The Congress with its created “partner, The Federal Reserve System” work together to create money at will.

This system is a MARK of the current demise of our system of government.

The church can and should help expose this terrible circumstance that we have placed ourselves by over trust and over dependence on our failing government.

Three of the Supreme Courts findings are mentioned:

Hepburn v. Griswold 75 U.S. 603 (1869); the court held that FIAT money was unconstitutional (one of their best findings, in my opinion);

The above decision was reversed by this decision. This decision came after President Grant (who had two court vacancies, selected two pro FIAT money federal judges, they were approved by the Republican Senate; by: Knox v. Lee, 79 U.S. 457 (1871), this decision led to today’s FIAT money; and

Helvering v. Davis, 301 U.S. 619 (1937), This ruling completely upended the system of enumerated powers, in which Congress only had the powers delegated to it by the Constitution, and eviscerated the Tenth Amendment that restricted the federal government to its defined roles.
