I got confused over the same sex marriage bill. I thought it was already legal. My cousin is gay and he got married years ago, so I looked into the bill. Ahhh, it will allow the IRS, to revoke the tax-exempt status of churches that hold fast to traditional marriage.

Well done!
This is what it looks like when people read the actual bills instead of the headlines, you actually find out the truth and why Members like me vote NO.
It’s not about gay marriage, it’s about Christian persecution.

No such law or attempt would withstand Constitutional scrutiny.

15 years ago no one would have thought gay marriage would withstand scrutiny.
I’d like to believe your statement correct, but in these times it’s likely not.
Hell, I expect to see Christians start to make the fish symbol in the dirt to quietly identify one another in my lifetime the way they did in the early church. I truly think the persecution will reach that level. I pray I’m strong enough in my faith to take it.

How is the IRS going differentiate between Churches that do/don't support Traditional marriage? Are they going to send every Church in the US a questionnaire, or send gay couples and request gay marriage ceremonies ?

Not trying to play the sceptic, but a tweet doesn’t mean it’s real. Is there a link saying this is real?

Read the first amendment.
quote:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
Apparently there is lots of case law that taxing churches is tantamount to establishing a religion by the government.

Just going by what Marjorie Taylor Greene said in her tweet I provided.

on 11/17/22 at 10:49 am to LookSquirrelIf the link to the actual bill I found in the replies is correct, then they are wrong. Read section 6. And btw, I am a Christian Conservative. This crap makes us look bad……. LINK

on 11/17/22 at 10:49 am to LookSquirrelChurches in general should do away with their own tax exempt status. I am certainly not in favor of taxes, in fact quite the opposite. Taxation is theft, but the government uhas been using the tax exempt status to get churches to go along with the narrative for years, Covid restrictions being the prime example. Chuck Baldwin has been screaming this for years.

Stepping outside the context of gay marriage for a second...
Why are any churches of any religion exempt from paying taxes?

In short, the OP is nonsense and as usual, MTG is full of it.
