See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
*


So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since
you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Yes indeed we are heirs to the thrown as well as many many other decripts in the word as to who we are in Christ. I left a study if you care to indulge. Its quite enlightening. A slave is owned. We are owned by the Lord. We are his!

The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

When you sign on to a religious institution that is controlled by corporate men, with laws and by-laws, are you placing your obedience into their hands?
What about those who take oaths of service? Even reciting the pledge of allegiance in the U.S. as early as pre-school could be considered in question if you go extreme. Can you participate in the military without signing such an oath and have your faith in question? Not IMO.

God is supreme over all and his followers know that. God is not upset that we are proud of the land we live in. The pledge of allegiance says"one nation under God". It is giving due respect to the one who created it all. Extremism is saying that the pledge of allegiance and the military oath disrespect God. They dont!


The 501c3 is quite another thing! It is putting the government at the head of the church instead of God. Its quite the foolish thing the steeples did when they took the bait. They are stuck. Its a hard thing to rescind.

===============================
EX. 21:6.
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door,
or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

Some translations say "slave to him forever" We are owned by God. We are his. I dont serve him because servants get paid. Freely I surrendered.



Love this song:

Know you not that to who you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are that you obey? ."...Romans 6:16

Can a person have two masters? Matt. 6:24

When you sign on to a religious institution that is controlled by corporate men, with laws and by-laws, are you placing your obedience into their hands?

Who is your master? Christ or men?

Another way to say it. Who really is your Lord?
clearly some have issues with understanding those who are pastor's led by God and those who are not of God led by the flesh :) God will always confirm HIS word

is not the church required to obey the law of the Land?
The 501c3 is not the law of the land. It is a deception created by Lydon Johnson. The church was/is already exempt. God is head of the church. The constitution established that to be a fact

[h=3]Creeping Governance[/h] Money is power. Yahushua recognized this when He stated: “No man can serve two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and love the other, or else he shall lean to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve [Yahuwah] and riches.” (Matthew 6:24, 1599 Geneva Bible)
Churches have been beguiled and seduced into voluntarily submitting to governmental control. In 1954, then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson offered tax exempt status to churches as a “favor.” All they had to do was fill out a government form, the 501(c)(3) form, declaring their organization to be a church.
It was a Trojan horse. By law, churches were tax exempt anyway! The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the agency that collects taxes for the federal government of the United States. One IRS agent, Peter Kershaw wrote:
I am not the only IRS employee who’s wondered why churches go to the government and seek permission to be exempted from a tax they didn’t owe to begin with, and to seek a tax deductible status that they’ve always had anyway. Many of us have marveled at how church leaders want to be regulated and controlled by an agency of government that most Americans have prayed would just get out of their lives. Churches are in an amazingly unique position, but they don’t seem to know or appreciate the implications of what it would mean to be free of government control.[SUP]7

There are many sites that explain this . Ive provided just one.Are you familiar with Chuck Baldwin? He is a pastor in Montana that has made this his mission to call the church out of this snare.
