Do you know how the Supreme Court has gone about removing God from practically all civil government matters? Don’t feel bad if you don’t know the answer to that question because most Christians in America have not had time to do the intense study required to understand this issue. If you are interested in knowing the answer, the following audio teaching will give you a basic understanding of the history of Supreme Court religion clause jurisprudence (Opening song and prayer are 4 min. 41 sec. and the total length of the audio is 34 min. 20 sec.):
Even though the Supreme Court has used the religion clause and the term “separation of church and state” to remove God and create a pluralistic nation, the Court still recognizes the original meaning of the clause. Churches can still choose to operate under God only and be in line with the First Amendment and the Supreme Court interpretation of the Amendment. In other words, churches can, without violating man’s law and/or being persecuted, choose not to incorporate, become corporations sole or unincorporated associations and get the 501(c)(3) tax exemption.
Should you desire a more in depth study of this issue, go to the “Books” page of churchandstatelaw.com to order God Betrayed/Separation of Church and State: The Biblical Principles and the American Application.
