Charity & Churches

Church, otherwise known as the people of God, is not a charity. People are charitable, but dear reader, our current understanding and definition of what is represented as a charitable organization, has everything to do with tax exceptions, and virtually nothing at all to do with God's will regarding servitude. The love for, and demands of Money (let us keep the capital M in the spelling of money, shall we, as though Money is an actual entity, a being unto itself), is one of those evil roots that thrive directly below concrete foundations upon which church buildings are constructed. The majority of pastor's are on the government dole, and have sold their souls to the tax man. 

In the New Testament, believers gathered and shared what they had, feeding and clothing themselves providentially, meaning they relied on God for all things; they looked not to a corrupt and godless government, or statesmen, to ensure that their needs were met, but rather, to their heavenly Father to provide for his workers of righteousness. You have heard the expression, Do not bite the hand that feeds you? During the covid scandal (it is scandalous to think of the virulent fraud that churches and common folk permitted to infiltrate and infest their thinking and being), the majority of church-cowards, fell face forward at the feet of dictators, and they were paid handsomely for all their bowing and scrapping. The pretend pastors dared not speak against the corruption, for fear of loss: they got cushy and comfortable with their charitable status, covering up their cruelty of feeding the flock to the wolves baying at their doors, by feigning concern and compassion, while promoting covid injections as a hedge against illness. They damned themselves by denying God his rightful place as Ruler and Great Physician, in favour of Caesar the sorcerer. 

Jesus paid taxes!

Matthew 17:24-27

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the tribute money came to Peter and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He said, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take custom and tribute? From their own children, or strangers? Peter said unto him, From strangers. Jesus said unto him, Then are the children free. Nothwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up. And when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money. That take, and give unto them for me and thee. 

I chuckled as I typed the last couple of sentences. Jesus made the fish of the sea, men questioned his authority while he walked the earth and proclaimed himself as the I AM, preforming miracles, showing signs and wonders proving his divinity and fulfilling prophecy as the long awaited Messiah, and so as not to offend the tiny minded carnal grubby handed tax collectors, he used the opportunity to teach Peter, and you and I, a meaningful lesson, by sending his disciple to the water to retrieve the first fish he hooks, to get a coin to pay the tribute for both of them! Does this strike you as playful and funny, while serious at the same time, dear reader? God has a sense of humour, and he condescends to you and I, to teach us that he is the one that orchestrates all that is miraculous and marvellous and wonderful. We humans get caught up in the net of our own mental manipulations and meanderings, much to our detriment, and somehow we convince ourselves that we are in charge, that we must depend entirely on ourselves, and then there is the mistaken belief that the government will somehow save us when really, they are the root that threatens to bust the foundation floors of many a family. Why, pray tell, are church voting centres during election season? This is evidence that church and state have become one: there is no distinction. Question: How are you to know a Christian, tell them apart from anyone else, when they don't think, then speak, then act, like the Christians in the New Testament? 

Charitable status is a joke, dear reader. It is a get away with murder humourless joke, a demonic ploy of state to impose on the people that profess Christ, to crumble when money is at stake. Churches ought never to have allowed themselves to be under such a heavy yoke of ownership via tax evasion: what did the churches do during covid, dear one, what hell on earth did they help unleash, rather than hinder, because they are owned by the man, and could not, would not, didn't want to, resist tyrannical imposition. Many a church leader with their cute little board of directors and voting members, compromised their integrity long ago; giving into covid was a no brainer, quite literally. They had been groomed to acquiesce to a wicked plot, and acquiesce they did, to their weak willed and minded shame. 

Let us go to scripture for Truth now, to clarify what Christianity ought to be. Do notice, love of our neighbour through Christ our Lord, is the mandate and mission. The gospel preached gives a soul meaningful purpose, and that, dear one, is where we must start and finish, as evidence that we belong to God Almighty.  

James 1:27 - Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Exodus 22:22 - Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

1 John 3:17 - But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Matthew 5:7 - Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Deuteronomy 24:19 - When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
