Really do not care about the priority of teaching the Word of God

AND

Whether their church retains 501(c)(3) status

AND

Whether their church’s member are able to take a tax deduction for donations

Jim's Doctrinal Statement

Of course I agree with the above posts. I add a question though: Where does Rom. 13:1-5 enter into this?

The law does not forbid them from preaching the Bible or Jesus. It forbids them from favoring or disfavoring particular candidates while in the pulpit. It seems like scant Biblical grounds for violating Rom. 13:1-5.

There are too many of us who, in viewing the Constitution as our “Political Bible” forget that the Political Bible is still somewhat below the real Bible in importance.
