Still Paying The Temple Tax Because "YOU BEEN CONQUERED"

Payment of the Temple Tax Matthew 17:24-27 STILL GETTING TAXED EVERY WEEKEND. ASK FOR THE FINANCIALS & TRACK THE MONEY.

²⁴ On their arrival in Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax^[e] came to Peter and asked him, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the Temple tax?”

²⁵ “Yes, he does,” Peter replied. Then he went into the house.

But before he had a chance to speak, Jesus asked him, “What do you think, Peter?^[f] Do kings tax their own people or the people they have conquered?^[g]”

²⁶ “They tax the people they have conquered,” Peter replied.

“Well, then,” Jesus said, “the citizens are free! ²⁷ However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin.^[h] Take it and pay the tax for both of us.”

IN 1954 

Johnson Amendment CLOSED DOWN #TRUTH FOR $$$ YOU CANT GIVE $1500 or $50,000 and deduct OFF your TAXES & pretend you've done something GRAND YOU SPIT ON GOD every SUNDAY. Matthew 6:3

The Johnson Amendment was a provision in the U.S. tax code, since 1954, that prohibits all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Section 501(c)(3) organizations are the most common type of nonprofit organization in the United States, ranging from charitable foundations to universities and churches. The amendment is named for then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, who introduced it in a preliminary draft of the law in July 1954.

In the early 21st century, many politicians, including President Donald Trump, have sought to repeal the provision, arguing that it restricts the free speech rights of churches and other religious groups. These efforts have been criticized because churches have fewer reporting requirements than other non-profit organizations, and because it would effectively make political contributions tax-deductible.^[1] On May 4, 2017, Trump signed an executive order "to defend the freedom of religion and speech" for the purpose of easing the Johnson Amendment's restrictions.^[2][3]
