Baptista – you bring up a great point. WHO COULD be next? The Senator should NEVER be given this kind of authority. The IRS was created to serve this purpose and its processes should be followed. Good read…

“That is not playing fair. That is not Americanism. It is not the American way to slur the loyalty and besmirch the character of the innocent and the guilty alike. We have always considered it just as important to protect the innocent as it is to punish the guilty.” Harry Truman, August 15, 1951. Some things never change.

This whole thing makes me turrible nervous. Who will be next? I would think even the ACLU would be upset with the constitutional issues here.

Lol… shaffer

I do suppose you guys make a good point. While I don’t agree with all these guys doctrine, I would hate to see someone picking on me for my beliefs.

Regardless of your theology one must agree that there is a scriptural rationale for this Copeland doctrine, indeed, the reason he is among the most popular television ministries is that millions of Americans agree with it and one can find it thoughout the history of the church, it is not really his doctrine, it was not contrived to make money, it is sincerely believed by people.

What is troubling is that a Senator of a different faith would so blatantly use his power to try to destroy those of another. This is rather disturbing to me and I understand their desire to resist what he is doing.

I think those are great questions.

Personally, I think that an organization should be considered “for-profit” the moment they oppose my theology. I tend to think like senator Grassley and the religious watchdog groups that have inspired this investigation. If we can’t get others to think the way we do, lets get the government to go after them.

Of course Kenneth Copeland did a sly one on us… He’s asked for an IRS audit. That means once they prove that he has done everything legal, we won’t be able have as much ammunition to go after him…

There is always the Catholics we could go after next, the Pope is riding all over America in his Mercedes Pope Mobile. There is no way you can convince me that they aren’t “for-profit” they have more money than all of these six ministries combined… then we can get the Mormans… the Jews… Muslims…
