A complaint has been filed with the Internal Revenue Service against an Iowa church on the basis of political involvement.
The complaint stems from three state Supreme Court justices up for re-election, who voted in favor of homosexual "marriage." Pastor Cary Gordon of Cornerstone World Outreach in Sioux City sent a letter to pastors around the state encouraging them to join in the effort to remove the three from the bench. Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a complaint against the Sioux City pastor, saying that he was violating the separation of church and state myth.
Homosexuality is a political issue because the gays made it one. So a pastor is supposed to suddenly stop discussing a moral issue because the world decided suddenly he can't anymore?
Pastor Gordon stated that Christians are often accused of shoving their religion down others' throats, and if they say the same things inside the walls of the church, they are accused of bringing politics into religion.
Can't win for losing.
How is it that a bunch of sexual deviants can dictate to a church what they are allowed to preach? Since when can sexual deviants decide what is appropriate subject matter for a church?
What kind of tyranny are these perverts pushing?
The First Amendment disallows the establishment of a religion, but isn't the secularists trying to establish secularism as the nation's state religion?
Gordon stated that despite complaints from groups like Americans United, he will continue to preach his convictions on Sunday.
"I have never, nor will I ever, get a message from the Holy Spirit and then go check with the IRS tax code first to see if it's okay to preach it," he states. "I'm tired of pastors submitting to this tyranny -- and I'm expecting to try to get the IRS to sue us so that we can take it all the way to the Supreme Court and restore freedom in America's pulpits."
