Another Wake up Call to Pastors

A Wake Up Call To Pastors, Elders, Deacons and members of All Christian Churches 10-4-04 by David Layton Wilson

Was it necessary for your church to ask the state's permission for the privilege of existing as an artificial entity [nonprofit corporation]? And then file Form SS-4 for an Employer Identification Number?


Was it necessary for your Board of Directors to file an IRS Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, for contributions [and tithes] to be tax deductible on members' IRS Tax Returns?


NO!


If so, and it is, then WHY?

The IRS answers this on page 4 of Instructions for Form 1023, thusly, "An organization cannot rely on the advice of a qualified tax professional if it knows or should know that he or she is not competent to render advice on filing exemption applications or is not aware of all the relevant facts." [underline emphasis added]

The relevant facts are that churches were automatically tax exempt then as now and that contributions were automatically tax deductible then as now. Churches have been Deceived by Omission of Material Facts by their Professional Advisers!!!

If you are vexed by Pastors being state Censored in their Sermons, Newsletters, email and websites; fearful of being victimized by IRS informers monitoring every word - there is a remedy and that remedy lies in each of you:


Petition Your Church Officers to Reclaim the Sovereignty of Jesus Christ as Head of Your Church. The legal definition of "church" as found in Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed., states:

"In its most general sense, the religious society founded and established by
Jesus Christ, to receive, preserve, and propagate his doctrines and
ordinances;"


and of Christian:

"Pertaining to Jesus Christ or the religion founded by him; professing Christianity. As a noun, it signifies one who accepts and professes to live by the doctrines and principles of the Christian religion; it does not include Mohammedans, Jews, pagans, or infidels;"

and of "reclaim,": "To claim or demand back; to ask for the return or restoration of a thing; to insist upon one's right to recover that which was one's own, but was parted with conditionally or mistakenly; as, to reclaim goods which were obtained from one under false pretenses."


The Remedy? Dissolve the corporation. Revoke 501 (c)(3) status. Free Your Church from State Servitude as Idolatry.


FAQ's:
Q~How will this effect church finances and contributions?

A~Should have no effect as long as procedurally correct paperwork is timely filed.


Q~What are the effects of maintaining the status quo?

A~When benefits of the state are accepted when conditionally offered, a silent contract comes into effect you are not aware of that demands reciprocity. That reciprocity is compliance with whatever the state determines to be "public policy," and "politically correct."
When such benefits of permission to engage in 'Caesar's Commerce' are accepted, any claim under the "establishment clause" and "freedom of speech" of Article I of the Bill of Rights is waived.
In reality, the Church has become duped into a quasi-state instrumentality, rendering unto 'Caesar' that which is NOT Caesar's – an assembly of Believers in God's image.
In reality, surrendering your children to the absolute control of the state, particularly if your church has a day care or school – to the detriment of parental authority and the church, is, in my opinion, child endangerment.
In fact, to remain silent in light of the Truth, is your admission and consent to all false presumptions. Unrebutted presumptions stand as true. To remain silent now is your future consent to be ruled and taxed by the atheist collectivist dominated United Nations imposing their version of a one world religion – and that religion doesn't include Jesus Christ.


My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4:6 [AKJV]


No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot
serve God and mammon.
Jesus speaking, Matthew 6:24

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and
be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1

A Petition/Demand to Disolve a Corporate Religious Charity and Then Establish a Free Church

Petition to Dissolve the Corporate Charter and
Revoke Section 501 (c)(3) Status

By David Layton Wilson

To the Board of ___________________________ Church, Incorporated.



GREETINGS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME.

By my signature below, I certify that I have read and understand the pertinent parts of Title 26, United States Code, Section 501 (c)(3) and IRS Form 1023, that pertain to churches.

WHEREAS, there is no law making it mandatory for a body of believers in Jesus Christ to exist as a legal fiction nonprofit corporation thereby replacing the authority of Jesus Christ as the head of the church with the statutory authority of the state, and

WHEREAS, even if there were a law of man making it mandatory for a body of believers in Jesus Christ to exist as a legal fiction nonprofit corporation or any other form of legal entity thereby replacing the sole authority of Jesus Christ as the head of the church with the statutory authority of the state, that law would be null and void on it’s face as a lesser authority can not bind a greater. To wit a creation of man can not wield authority over a creation of God.

WHEREAS, churches have never been technically exempt from taxation but rather immune from taxation and contributions have always been tax deductible on Form 1040's of those who are liable to file such form; this being automatic without the church applying for Section 501 (c)(3) tax exempt status, and

WHEREAS, most likely church directors/officers were misled by, albeit, well-meaning Professional advisers, by withholding material facts, the effects of such uninformed decisions having devastating unintended consequences on this body of Believers and their children, and

WHEREAS there is the possibility that Church directors/officers were indeed traitorous to Christ and his Local Church, knowing full well the fact that no servant can serve two masters, but that they did with malice intent surrender the headship of Christ over his local Church for filthy lucre sake or some other nefarious intent to the state,

WHEREAS, by dissolving the corporate charter of this Church and revoking Section 501 (c)(3) status should have no adverse change in this Church's finances, there is no valid scriptural reason for maintaining such status quo, and

Petition to Dissolve the Corporate Charter and
Revoke Section 501 (c)(3) Status
(continued)



WHEREAS, it is necessary to carry forward these actions timely, to reclaim and restore or establish this Church to a pristine status under the sole Sovereign authority of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Bible as the inspired perfect written representation of that Authority and to preach and teach the whole counsel of God's Word.

NOW THEREFORE, I strongly urge (DEMAND) the Board to dissolve the corporate existence of this Church by written resolution and revoke the Section 501 (c)(3) status attached thereto; with proper Notices to appropriate officials to follow.
