From: Minister of Christ Edward-Jay-Robin: Belanger
C/o Post Bag Kamsack Saskatchewan No code non commercial
Dear Ron I am writing to your in your private capacity as of my particular religious beliefs of not communicating to corporate legal fictions and not bowing to nor serving false god’s. I am also gaining a private agreement with you. Your office is factually de facto meaning illegitimate and as such I cannot submit my ministry to you in that regard as it is a legal fiction and corporate as in commercial.
I as God Jehovah’s minister have been the subject of religious persecution and obstruction for the performance of functions of my calling namely exercising my freedom going to and from Church meetings and the service of God Jehovah in my Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International Automobile which is not a delivery vehicle nor involved in any commercial activity nor am I privately contracted with any dead in law commercial corporate entities.
1.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact Mammon in the King James Bible refers to the pursuit of wealth which is the definition of Commerce as provided by Jesus Christ at Matthew 6:24 in her Majesty’s King James Bible that she defends with all of her power and whom you swore an oath to be truly allegiant to in order to get your job!
2.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that Section 176 of the criminal code, that I make no use of , but bring to your attention for your own benefit, was enacted on behalf of Queen Victoria in 1867 to protect the Church and it’s ministers from harm and to carry out her own Coronation oath in law.
It is my hope you will realize that the continuance of having contracted police who have no statute to enforce their activities but rather an memorandum of agreement unenforceable in law upon private men and women, will be reviewed and property seized subsequent to violations of the criminal code by these unlawful agents of law.
3.It is agreed in understanding with no dispute from you that The King James Bible has standing in all of her majesty’s courts and the lawyers who have taken an oath to her Majesty to be truly allegiant to her are violating their own oaths when they intimidate men like myself engaged in the Christian ministry performing the functions of our calling as protected by section 122, 126, 176, 180, and 423 of the criminal code of Canada. Ezekiel 33:6 means I am warning you of the hole in your own law you will fall into and I make no use of that dead corporate law.
4.It is agreed and understood by you with no dispute to the fact that I have no recognizable or valid contract with the province of Manitoba nor with the RCMP in Manitoba or any other sovereign province.
5.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that my communal Church Auto a 1990 Cadillac Sedan Deville is an unregistered conveyance of the ministry and as such is not subject to the laws of a commercial nature designed for commercial entities registered with the corporation of Manitoba.
6.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that on February 27th I was returning from one of my ministerial functions in Winnipeg on February 27th when I was accosted and arrested by one RCMP de facto officer of corporate law for the lawful procession in ecclesiastical form of returning from a Church of the Ecumenical Redemption International meeting in Winnipeg with Moon Ravenstone one of our Ecumenical Ministers.
7. It is further agreed with no dispute as to the truth of the fact I was also accosted and arrested in Winnipeg on February 26th by Two of the cities police officers who were informed of my status but chose to ignore the law and did intimidate me and arrest me on the pretence of Executing a civil law namely driving without a license and registration.
8.It is agreed by you with no dispute to the fact that Both arrests were unlawful discriminatory and intimidation to my ministry and did unlawfully obstruct me from continuing.
9.It is further agreed by you with no dispute to the fact that the former arrest and seizure was effected unlawfully by de facto unlawfully contracted agents of the de facto corporation of Manitoba namely the private man acting as RCMP detachment commander called by name of John Haley ,in Neepawa Manitoba, on the pretense of Executing the Hwy Traffic act which only applies to and includes,,,commercial or public service vehicles. He did violate section 176 of the criminal code on February 27th 2006 A.D.and did arrest me unlawfully
10.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that the former facts agreed upon are not an opinion or an interpretation but factual upon the evidence in the regulations of the de facto corporate government of Manitoba which states those facts in plain English.
11.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that Manitoba is a corporation making corporate law as that is the only law a corporation can make and it only can apply to the members of the corporation! Section 32 of the Charter of Rights and freedoms offers more clarity,
http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/progs/pdp-hrp/canada/guide/application_e.cfm
12.It is agreed and understood with no dispute to the fact that the laws of a corporation, which is dead in law, can only apply to members of that dead in law corporation. The dead can have no control over the living as the created can cannot command the creator!
13. It is agreed with no rebuttal to the fact that all de facto authorities are impostors and have no sanction from the Queen to intimidate any man or woman from practicing their Christian faith.
14. It is agreed with no rebuttal to the fact that if you ignore this good faith ecclesiastical agreement and proceed to intimidate me while in your de facto capacity that you consent to the fact and admit to be actively and irrefutably involved in a conspiracy to violate my faith in the King James Bible!!
15.It is agreed by you with no rebuttal to the fact you consent to pay me 1 million Dollars $1,000,000.00 in Gold Maple Leaf coin for the damages to my ability to practice my faith unimpeded and that you will, once our agreement is witnessed and published, provide me the name and address of your liability insurance bond agent to pay for damages due to your intimidation should you choose to break the laws and violate your oath.
16.It is agreed understood and with no rebuttal to the fact that the Sikh’s from Quesnel British Columbia sued the RCMP in 1980 and easily recouped $10,000,000.00 for the rejection of one man from RCMP employment as of his faith to wear a turban.
17.It is agreed that the Queen defence of the King James Bible as of oath and duty is decidedly more powerful as standing and defence than the turban.
It is agreed you have seen no prove of any malevolent act from me and hearsay or assumption is not admissible in court.
18.It is agreed with no rebuttal to the fact that I cannot be forced to violate my faith and register or contract with a false god de facto government or commercial court formed in her majesty’s name!!

You see?
It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that mans corporate law only applies to government entities Ron and if that the Charter so mentioned is the Supreme law of Canada as a corporation you agree that all those laws, which are subordinate to the supreme law of Canada, have zero applicability to me as God’s minister and are also of zero applicability to me privately as a man of no ministerial status unless I have consented and registered as part of t he corporate structure. This law from Ontario explains

6.5 Special situations of religious organizations
Religious organizations should consider certain issues carefully before incorporating.
Governing Law
If a religious organization becomes incorporated, its ecclesiastical, canon or church laws, rules or regulations may be subject to the Corporations Act. This means that if any ecclesiastical, canon or church law, rule or regulations conflicts with the Corporations Act, the organization, once incorporated, must comply with the Corporations Act and will no longer be able to use that law, rule or regulation in administering its affairs.
As you can see registering with dead corporate bodies requires servitude!!
A corporation is a Person not a man, and Ron I wish you to know I cannot submit myself to persons or show respect to them shown guidance from my Bible Deuteronomy 1:17;10:17;Acts10:34 Romans 2:11and James 2:9 who really sums it up.
If should show respect to persons I will be convinced of the law as a transgressor!
That word comes form Latin and means a mask worn by player on a stage.I assure you I am know mask and most certainly not an act.
As you can see once registered as a corporate member of your corporation I am locked into some assumed contract from hell. I exposed those warped contracts as being achieved by fraud but many will not think for themselves and research to see the truth.
My Christian ministry defended by the Queen, you took an oath to God to bear true allegiance to, is not to be dictated to Ron unless I am in commercial transport or for hire or have harmed a man woman or property. I am neither nor am I harming any man woman or Child as I bring the Word of my savior to others who are in need of my special knowledge like what I have shared with you.

2 Peter 2:3
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
What I am asking is for you to examine the definition contained in these acts and read the definitions of Driver for yourself rather than relying on the possibility an atheist or Jewish lawyer will be advising you as that is a conflict of interest to her majesty’s duty to defend the Christian faith and most of those lawyers do not know the meaning in law of their own oaths indicating he lied and committee a fraud upon her majesty’s government to get the job. A Jewish man or woman takes the Kol Nidre a Jewish oath to absolve themselves from their oaths once a year!
19.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that it is impossible to provide true allegiance to a Christian Monarch if you do not know the accurate meaning in law of that true allegiance you promised to be faithful to and provide.
20.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that it is not my intent to wriggle out of any lawful dejure obligation or evade dejure justice but rather avoid the unlawful imposition of de facto law upon my ministry and my ability to go from place to place via right of ecclesiastical way in effecting and performing the functions of my calling as a Christian Minister unregistered in the de facto governments of man.
What you may find unusual is that never before has a minister of God Jehovah exercised their faith so strongly and actually provided proof of their infallible position with the King James Bible’s standing in law. The Natural position and assumption of men and women receiving this info is that I as a Christian minister am subject to those corporate laws code rules and regulations just like all the other men and women that regularly bow to and submit to de facto unlawful governments of men. The Queen and the Commandments of God say otherwise and I am sure you will not wish to contradict the Queen in her duty to defend the laws of God Jehovah.
Most men and women who I have approached have felt that my faith was a threat to their secular existence and that may well be true as I stand unabashedly and unwaveringly in God’s law and refuse to accept the jurisdiction of de facto agents of a bankrupt corporation following the secular laws of man. Those who take advise from de facto godless lawyers to intimidate my faith and seize Church property are in commission of treason against her majesty’s ability to defend the Christian faith from self declared false god’s like Caesar was and most definitely obstructing my ministry. ( R. V. Reed S.C.C. Ezekiel 33:6) Yes he Caesar, a man, himself proclaimed he was god and all the world should pay him taxes. The first commandment in the Bible that the Queen defends with all of her power has sworn to defend is to not bow to or serve false god’s. Exodus 20:3-5
You may wish to refer to the Governor General of Canada’s website where she proclaims she is Canada’s de facto head of State on the page entitled Roles and Responsibilities.
The World Bank indicates what the creditor defines as being a de facto government. Since they are the creditor we can count on their definition as being prime in mans law.
I do hope that you will respect my faith in God’s law, and that you will have awareness of the proof in front of you that say’s I am not a legal fiction of a corporate body government, I am flesh !!! I believe with all the evidence that is in front of you, for you to see, that you took oath to aid her majesty to uphold God’s law.
It is a Christian God that is referred to in the Countries Constitution preamble, Jehovah, Abraham’s God and his rule of law that her majesty Queen Elizabeth defends. You as a private man acting as an agent and public servant, by law took a solemn oath to be truly allegiant to her majesty. She is the head of the Church of England and sworn to uphold the laws of God with all of her power.
“I, ...................., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors. So help me God.
The word “do is prerequisite to sentence formation. If it is not in your sworn oath and the words are not in the above form then it is a false de facto oath unsanctioned by the Queen and if you do not know it’as meaning in law the you lied to get your job!
A de facto regime is unlawful, outside of God’s law. This is not an assumption but a true definition of what de facto means. Dejure means lawful of God’s law.
It is said Her majesty Queen Elizabeth is a Dejure monarchy as opposed to the openly declared Defacto regime of Michealle Jean the Governor General of Canada.
Canada and all of its law is defacto. Read section 15 of the criminal code
Read the World Banks definition of a de facto government who all the countries of the world save a very few are in debt to thereby having this bank as it’s creditor.
These policies were prepared for use by World Bank staff and are not necessarily a complete treatment of the subject.
Dealings with De Facto Governments
Note:This OP 7.30 replaces OP 7.30, dated November 1994. Questions may be addressed to the Chief Counsel, Operations Policy.
1. A "de facto government" comes into, or remains in, power by means not provided for in the country's constitution, such as a coup d'état, revolution, usurpation, abrogation or suspension of the constitution.
21.It is agreed with no dispute to the fact that De facto law does not bind men.
It only binds dead in law slaves, legal fictions who have living reps that volunteer their acceptance of the bondage by signing their names to the various contracts that are put before them. I cannot accept such deceptive fictional bills of exchange. I decline all such offers and you are hereby noticed of the deliberate waste of your own budget, accounting will be notified that you never gained my consent to alter my name for a financial purpose as that is fraud!

The Truth About Church Incorporation
________________________________________
[Note: In this article, the word "Church" does not refer to any physical building, but refers to the whole body of believers in Christ. The word "church" is translated from the Greek word ekklesia, which literally means "assembly" or "congregation" of people; it does not refer to any physical building. Keep that in mind when reading this article]
Joshua challenged the people: "choose you this day whom ye will serve." (Joshua 24:15). Today, government is demanding a similar choice. Today the world assumes that the church is the church because it is registered with, and defined by, the State.
The following is intended merely to provide an overview, an introduction to the whole issue of the Church and incorporation. In addition, its purpose is not meant to be a criticism of the many well meaning Christian men and women who have laboured for the Lord in these matters, but simply as a supplemental guide for the avoidance of "rendering unto Caesar" that which is not and should not be his. We shall endeavor to explore the relationship between, churches and corporations.
So what exactly is incorporation? What really happens to a church that becomes incorporated? Are there biblical principles against incorporation?
First of all, let us define the word "corporation." In the strict everyday definition of the word, a corporation is "a group of people combined into or acting as one body." This word is derived from the Latin word "corpus," which means "body." In this sense, the Christian Church is indeed a corporation. It is the "corpus Christi," the "Body of Christ." It derives its existence and authority from its Head, the risen and victorious Son of God. It is comprised of individual members who have covenanted together to further Christ's Kingdom by the preaching of the Gospel and the discipling of the nations (Matthew 28:19-20).
Christ is Sovereign over his Church
The Church's "corporate status" is well-established in Scripture: Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 27, Ephesians 1:22; 5:23b, 30, Colossians 1:18; 2:19 teach that Christ is clearly the head of the church, and we are all members of his body.
The Church is the visible manifestation of Christ's Kingdom on earth. However, as Jesus Himself stated, "My Kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36). Many Christians have misunderstood this verse to mean that neither the Church nor individual Christians should involve themselves with the affairs of the world. In what is known as "pietism," a false dichotomy is erected between the "spiritual" Kingdom and the "carnal" world.
Of course, this is not what Jesus had in mind at all. He very explicitly stated elsewhere that Christians are to act as the "salt" of the earth and as a "light" in the world by permeating society and working to change it from within (Mat.5:13-16). This task of dominion is accomplished through the work of evangelism and discipleship, as Jesus commanded in the Great Commission. The Christian's purpose is indeed "worldly," insofar as it is involved in bringing the world into subjection to the Word of God (2 Cor.10:5).
Thus, the true meaning of Jesus' declaration that His Kingdom is "not of this world," is that it does not derive its authority and power from the world or its institutions. The Church is indeed a spiritual organization, but this simply means that it is "of the Spirit"-- it relies upon the Holy Spirit and the inspired Word for its existence, not upon the efforts or laws of men. This important detail should be kept in mind as we further study the subject of church incorporation.
The State is Sovereign over its Corporations
Governing Law ( From Ontario Justice Website as above)
If a religious organization becomes incorporated, its ecclesiastical, canon or church laws, rules or regulations may be subject to the Corporations Act. This means that if any ecclesiastical, canon or church law, rule or regulations conflicts with the Corporations Act, the organization, once incorporated, must comply with the Corporations Act and will no longer be able to use that law, rule or regulation in administering its affairs.
As you can see registering with dead corporate bodies requires servitude!!
Having briefly examined the biblical definition of a corporation, let us now look at the legal definition of a corporation. According to the U.S. Supreme Court:
1. "A corporation is a creature of the state. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises and holds them subject to the laws of the state and the limitation of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. There is a reserved right in the legislature to investigate its contracts and ascertain if it has exceeded its powers" (Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43).
2. "[A corporation is] an artificial person or legal entity created by or under the authority of the laws of a state. An association of persons created by statute as a legal entity.... The corporation is distinct from the individuals who comprise it (shareholders).... Such an entity subsists as a body politic under a special denomination, which is regarded in law as having a personality and existence distinct from that of its several members." Black's Law Dictionary West Publishing Company, 1991; 6th Edition, page 340.
3. "A corporation derives its existence and all of its powers from the State and, therefore, has only such powers as the State has conferred upon it. Power is used here to mean the legal capacity to execute and fulfill the objects and purposes for which the corporation was created, and the source of this power is the charter and the statute under which the corporation was organized." Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 796.
Note: A corporation is created by, and derives its existence from, the State. In contrast, the church is created by, a creature of, derives its existence from, subject to, and obeys the Law of, Jesus Christ.
4. "Corporate existence is a privilege granted by the sovereign upon compliance with specified conditions" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 931. .
5. "Corporations are not citizens.... The term citizen... applies only to natural persons... not to artificial persons created by the legislature" Paul v. Virginia, 8 Wall. 168, 177; see also the Opinion of Field, J., in the Slaughterhouse Cases, 16 Wall.36,99.
Note: God teaches that Christians, his church, are citizens of the household of God (Eph.2:19, Phil.3:10).
6. Every corporation has obtained a charter from the Province of Incorporation. This charter is simply permission to exist given to the corporation, without which, its operations would be considered illegal. In addition to the charter are the articles of incorporation: "The objects or purposes for which a corporation is formed are expressly stated in its articles of incorporation, which delineate in general language the type of business activities in which the corporation proposes to engage" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 798.
Note: Is the church of God involved in any type of business activities? (Matthew 21:12, John 2:16).
7. "Instances of non-profit corporations are educational institutions, athletic clubs, library clubs, fraternities, sororities, hospitals, and organizations which have exclusively a charitable purpose" Smith and Roberson's Business Law, West Publishing Company, 1966, page 789.
The reader will notice that "churches" are conspicuously absent from this list of non-profit corporations. That is because our law-makers are fully aware that incorporation involves creation, and the Church simply cannot be created by the State. Furthermore, the Church's ordained purpose of preaching the Gospel can never be illegal, so no special license is required from the State to do so.
Though not all of our founding fathers were genuine Christians, they nevertheless understood that the Church of Christ is under the sole jurisdiction of its Lord, and that the civil magistrate therefore should not dare to encroach upon that authority. Because of this healthy respect for the Church, the very first sentence of the Bill of Rights reads as follows:
"Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (U.S. Constitution, First Amendment).
According to Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black: "The establishment clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the federal government can set up a church" Everson v. Board of Education, 1947).
It was one of the principles of the sixteenth-century Reformation that the Church and the State are separate governments, and that, although they are to work together for the furtherance of God's Kingdom, they are not to either merge with one another or usurp the sphere of authority of one another (Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter XXIII:3) The Church is forbidden by Scripture to take up the State's "sword" (Romans 13:4), and the State is likewise forbidden to assume the Church's "keys" (Matthew 16:19). However, as we will see, the latter is precisely what occurs whenever a church seeks incorporation at the hands of the State.
Is a Church required to Incorporate under the Government?
According to the Internal Revenue Code, of the US "a church, its integrated auxiliaries, and conventions and associations of the church are excluded from taxation." United States Code, Title 26, § 508(c)(1)(A).
Section 508(c) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that churches are not required to apply for recognition of Section 501(c)(3) status in order to be exempt from federal taxation or to receive tax deductible contributions. Churches are automatically exempt from Federal income tax, and contributions to churches are deductible by donors.
Elsewhere, the IRS states: "Although a church, its integrated auxiliaries, or a convention of churches is not required to file a Revenue Canada form to be exempt from federal income tax or to receive tax deductible contributions, such an organization may find it advantageous to obtain recognition of exemption (Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization, CRA Publication ).
Just what "advantage" is there for a church in obtaining corporate recognition and thereby exchanging its sovereignty for a subordinate status in relation to the federal government? Most people would answer that such grants the church exemption from taxation. However, we have already seen that the federal government has never been able to tax the Church of Christ; the Church is not exempt from taxation, it is immune. The "advantage" is something else entirely:
"By establishing its exemption, potential contributors are assured by the Revenue Canada Service that contributions will be deductible" Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization,.
The tragic irony of all this is that, according to the US Internal Revenue Code, financial donations to an unregistered, unincorporated church are automatically tax-deductible (26 USC 170-B)! But is this biblical?
"God loveth a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7). But the government promises, "Incorporate, and I will return to you up to thirty-five percent of your tithes and offerings!" And the Bridegroom wept. Now Jesus knows that His bride "purposeth in [her] heart . . . grudgingly, or of necessity." (2 Corinthians 9:7). God had no respect towards Cain's offering because he did not give from the heart (Gen.4:3-6).
The CRA, of course, knows very well that it has no constitutional authority over the unregistered Church, and that it may not violate Charter protection against government interference with the Church. In fact, the CRA may not violate the constitutionally secured rights of any Canadian Citizen or group of Citizens, and is able to gain jurisdiction only when such is given to it voluntarily. Thus, the CRA holds out the unbiblical "advantage" of registered corporate status as bait to clergy ignorant of the law in hopes that these men will "bite," thereby placing themselves and their congregations firmly on its jurisdictional hook.
Once the bait has been taken, and the catch is reeled in, another church has been transformed into a "legal fiction" subject to the tyrannical control of the federal government. The truth is that "incorporated churches" are not, by definition, churches at all! They are merely "non-profit organizations" (or should I say "non-prophet organizations"). The truth is, any "church" that is incorporated has deposed Jesus Christ from His rightful position as Head over His own Body and has surrendered that Body to the dominion of the State.
The truth is, "incorporated churches" are subject to total governmental control -- whom they may hire, what they may and may not teach and preach, they cannot conflict with "public policy" nor assault the hearer's sense of mental well-being, self esteem, sexual orientation, etc. The CRA prohibits such organizations from "carrying on propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation" This prohibition extends, not only to the endorsement of a political candidate, but also any other attempts to "influence legislation," including taking a public stand against such government-protected abominations as abortion or homosexuality. Now, the church is discovering that favors from Washington, DC have strings attached. In this case, the string is a rope that is being used to throttle her once-powerful voice, to squeeze out her very life and, eventually, to hang her by the neck until dead!
Should the Bible itself one day be ruled by the government to be "politically incorrect," incorporated churches will find themselves on the horns of a very serious dilemma. After all, in a civil suit, a corporation's defense is limited to the terms specifically enumerated in its charter and articles of incorporation. All other "extrinsic evidence," including the Bible or any historical Christian creeds or standards, will be disallowed in a State court case, because they are "not contained in the body of [the] contract." (Black's Law Dictionary, p. 588). Outside of its own walls, the incorporated church may not stand on the authority of the Scriptures regarding any political or civil issue, because it is bound by the "higher laws" of the State. Consequently, the Christian Church in America, little by little, ceases to be the "salt" and "light" to society that it was commanded to be (Mat.5:13-16). And all this for a simple tax deduction! Because of money! This directly contradicts Jesus' teaching, "make not my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:16).
Operating as a Government Business
There are profit-making businesses and there are non-profit businesses, but a business is a business in the eyes of government. An incorporated church simply cannot deny the fact that it has requested permission of the State to operate as a business. Not only does it have its charter and articles of incorporation on file with the Secretary of State, but it is also required to list a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. None of these offices were instituted by Christ in His Church (Eph.4:11-12), because they exist to control the business dealings of a corporation, not the sacramental duties of the Body of Christ.
Many churches, since 1984, have begun to list the minister and other ecclesiastical leaders as "employees" for Social Insurance purposes. The CRA exists to regulate revenue which is internal to the federal government. Consequently, in the Income Tax Act, an "employee" is specifically defined as follows: "an officer, employee, or elected official of the Canadian Government, a province, or any political subdivision thereof" (26 USC 3401-C). By listing the minister as an "employee" who earns "income," the incorporated church is unknowingly identifying him as one who works for the federal government. A free, unincorporated church cannot be held to the standards of a corporation doing "business" as a church. A church congregation is a private assembly of individuals, coming together as a family, to worship their Lord. Biblical worship is not a "public" activity. Jesus Christ, not the State, ordained the assembling together of believers.
Subject to Taxation Via Social Security
Yet another indication that an incorporated church is a government agency is its participation in Social Insurance Scam. Seen in this light, payment into Social Insurance by incorporated churches brings us to an astonishing conclusion: Incorporated registered churches are not exempt from taxation after all! It is an established legal principle that "the power to tax is the power to destroy." The government only has the power to destroy that which it has created.
Another related issue here is that of the "corporate franchise." According to law, "a corporation must have a franchise" (Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, p. 786.) In the case of an incorporated church, who are its franchises? If you guessed the members of the congregation, you are correct. In fact, they are legally "shareholders" in the business. This is proven by the fact that the so-called "congregational meetings" of the incorporated church must follow the legal guidelines of any other corporate meeting. For example, motions must be made and minutes must be kept of the proceedings. By-laws must be maintained and any additions (amendments) must be voted on by the members of the church.
Furthermore, at the end of the year, members and contributors will receive an itemized report of their financial contributions to the church for tax purposes, and distributes contribution records that shows a beginning and ending "balance" for each member. This practice directly contradicts the Bible's command about giving alms before men (Matthew 6:1-4).
The pastor of an incorporated church may therefore inform the congregation of the tax-deductibility of their gifts only if he warns them that a tax write-off may be the only reward they will receive (Matthew 6:4).
The Incorporated Church Surrenders its God Given Laws
Man, created by God in the image of God, was granted by God certain "unalienable rights" which are constitutionally protected. Corporations, created by the State, are not "real" or "natural" persons and, therefore, have no constitutionally secured rights!
It is a common belief that an incorporated church may refuse to disclose its financial records, particularly its tithing records, to the State should such be demanded. However, such a naive belief will not protect the church or its members from harassment from the Internal Revenue Service or any other federal agency: "[A] corporation is not considered as a person within that clause of the fifth amendment to the constitution which protects a "person" against self-incrimination" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, p. 787.
According to the ruling of the US Supreme Court: "There is a clear distinction in this particular between an individual and a corporation and that the latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for an examination at the suit of the State. While an individual may lawfully refuse to answer incriminating questions unless protected by an immunity statute, it does not follow that a corporation vested with certain privileges and franchises, may refuse to show its hand when charged with an abuse of such privileges. Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 74-75.
"Whenever a corporation makes a contract it is the contract of the legal entity ...The only rights it can claim are the rights which are given to it in that charter, and not the rights which belong to its members as citizens of a state" Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Pet. 586).
In other words, a corporation has no rights, only privileges which may be revoked any time its creator sees fit. Individual members ("share-holders" or "corporate franchises") also surrender their rights on account of their legal union with the corporation. Thus, the CRA may audit the corporation's financial records at any time, because, as one former CRA commissioner stated, "The churches... hold in trust that which belongs to the government." This is the law, and it cannot be changed by amendments to church by-laws, or even by the good intentions of church leaders.
Can an incorporated church refuse to disclose its financial records to the IRS on the grounds that it did not know that such consequences would arise from incorporation? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Incorporation is a form of "non-positive," or "contract law." According to Black's Law Dictionary, p.322, a contract is "an agreement between two or more persons which creates an obligation to do or not to do a particular thing." The laws comprising the contract do not apply to either party until the contract is agreed upon, at which time it is legally binding upon both. Claiming ignorance of the specifics of the contract will not excuse either party from their obligation once the contract is signed:
"As a general proposition, a party is held to what he signs.... One cannot obtain a release from contract liability upon the ground that he did not understand the legal effect of the contract" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, p. 70
By incorporating, the pastor and elders of a church need to realize that they have, in effect, signed a contract with the federal government which they have become legally and morally liable to obey (Romans 13:1). They cease to exist as a "real" First Amendment association with "unalienable" rights, and are transformed into a federal institution under the complete jurisdiction & control of "Acts of Congress." A church can no more change the nature of a contract after the fact than a private individual.
The Unbiblical Status of Limited Liability
Finally, let us take a brief look at the biblical problems of church incorporation. As we have seen, the Bible teaches that the Christian Church is a spiritual corporation that derives its existence from its Head, who is Christ. Each individual member is in covenant with the others and exercises their gifts for the benefit of the collective group. This is the concept of unity in diversity. The whole derives its substance from its individual parts. Therefore, the actions of the individual indirectly affect the whole.
We see this concept of covenantalism numerous times throughout Scripture. For example, in the Old Testament economy, the sin of Achan brought judgment upon the entire nation of Israel (Joshua 7), and the righteous act of Phineas brought God's blessings (Numbers 25). This principle did not pass away with the Old Testament economy, however. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul exhorted the Corinthian church to "put away" from them the unrepentant adulterer with the following illustration (verse 6b-7a).
The corrupting influence of sin should never be underestimated, and God's judgment on an entire congregation is risked if one of its members is allowed to continue in open rebellion against His Word. This is why it is so important for the elders to protect the Church from moral and spiritual disintegration by removing the ungodly member via excommunication. Likewise, it is equally the responsibility of individual members of a church to disassociate themselves from an apostate church, so that they might not "partake of her sins" (Revelation 18:4).
Church incorporation flies in the very face of biblical covenantalism. This is seen primarily in the privilege of "limited liability," which means that the corporation cannot be held legally responsible for the actions of the individual members: "A corporation... should be distinguished from the individuals who compose it and those who control it as well as from the property which it owns" Len Young Smith and G. Gale Roberson, Smith and Roberson's Business Law, p. 785.
God certainly did not deal with the nation of Israel on the basis of limited liability, so why should modern churches seek this unbiblical status for themselves? In giving the church her orders, Jesus promised: "All power is given unto me . . . I am with you alway." (Matthew 28:18,20). Apparently, this was not enough for the church. The State promised to protect the church from lawsuits and other attacks from without if only she would incorporate. Turning her back on the promised care of her Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, the church accepted her lover's "protection."
Supposedly, limited liability protects the individual members from personal lawsuit. However, this is simply not the case. Franchises of a corporation are just as susceptible, if not more so, to a lawsuit than any other organization. Furthermore, the incorporated church itself greatly increases its own susceptibility to a lawsuit due to the fact that a business is far more likely to be sued than is a strictly religious organization. Unincorporated churches are immune, they cannot sue, nor be sued by, anyone.
Corporations have no Soul
"Man has been created by, in, and for, the Word of God, and this makes him the being who is responsible. Masses, collectives, and species have no responsibility; they are not capable of assuming responsibility. They [corporations] cannot commit trespass nor be outlawed nor excommunicated, for they have no souls." 10 Rep.32 b.
"Human beings are deceptively referred to as 'natural persons' which are still “persons” to distinguish them from 'artificial' personas or corporations. To acquire the status of artificial or legal personality, the group seeking it must be incorporated, i.e., must obtain a formal state license. In modern civil law, while incorporation is necessary for some purposes, chiefly in commercial law, and group of persons, acting as a unit, may be treated as an artificial or legal person." Warren Co. v. Heister, 219 La. 763, 54 S.2d 12." Radin Law Dictionary (1955), page 249.
Can you imagine the early church of the Apostles passing the hat to help Caesar out? To ask the Lord's church to collect a tax to finance every wicked thing on this earth, including the murder of millions of babies each year, is tyranny at its worst.
Because a 'person' has no access to any law outside the law creating it, then no constitutional arguments can ever be raised by the person, or corporation, successfully. Government is the person created by constitutions and no officer can make any arguments against the power establishing his office by using law which is not given him by the superior power. In the same vein, a 'person' created by legislation can use no law outside the law creating it for any arguments against the superior power creating 'it'.
Organism or Organization?
Is the body of Christ an Organism or an Organization? An organism is a living thing. I am living, and I am part of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is the church. An incorporated Church is not an organism, but an organization. An organization is a creature of the State, and as such must hold allegiance to the creator of their organization.
All those who join with an organization that is under corporation status accept the debt of that organization, and become subject to that debt of another. I do not need to tell you what scripture tells us about this debt. Borrowing money, for expansion, from the ungodly bankers, is not a biblical principle and, as such, cannot be blessed by God.
Black's Law Dictionary, 5th Edition, defines 'organization' as a "corporation or government subdivision or agency, business trust, partnership or association…or any other legal or commercial entity". This definition shows that an organization (even if it functions as a church) is recognized as commercial and public; an incorporated Church is legally interpreted as a commercial entity. But didn't Christ say "make not my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:16)?
The real benefit the registered Church looks for with incorporation is the ability to borrow large amounts of debt capital. This enslaves every man, woman, and child whose name appears on the membership roles of the Church. How can this be? Because every officer and member of the Church pledges themselves as surety for the commercial debts of the Church, whether they know it or not. Why is this? Because the member's name that appears on the Church rolls is a beneficiary of the Church 'services', which are also construed as commercial by the government (the term 'service' is a commercial term, and means either to get paid for an occupation, or it means an act giving assistance or advantage to another, which results in a benefit). Additionally, the 'tax-deductible contributions' are further evidence of the commercial connection to the corporation.
A maxim of law states: "He who accepts the benefit must also bear the burden," meaning if one accepts any benefit of the incorporated Church one is liable for the debts and acts of the church leadership. If the Church is sued and a cash settlement is ordered by the court, there is virtually no limit as to how far the court can extend its power to collect from the members, even if they are not the officers responsible for committing the civil crime. "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Mat.11:30).
"Although it was once said that 'a corporation is not indictable, but the particular members are' [Anon., 12 Mod. 559], it is now well settled that a corporation may be indicted for omission to perform a public duty imposed upon it by law." Reg. V. Birmingham & G. Ry. Co., 3 Q.B. 233; New York & G.L.R. Co. v. State, 50 N.J.Law 303, 13 Atl. 1, affirmed in 53 N.J.Law, 244, 23 Atl. 168.
In Jesus' day, the chief priests bound themselves to Caesar (John 19:14-15). Who were they a priest of? Caesar. Who did they minister for? Caesar. Who does a registered Church now minister for? "We have no king but Caesar." They have a United States flag in every one of their Churches. "We don't make political statements from the pulpit anymore, we don't ever preach against the one for whom we minister. We don't want to lose our tax-exempt status!" So, we had fascism in Christ's day, the same fascism we have today.
Conclusion
It is time for the churches in North America to wake up to the fact that they have seriously compromised the headship of Christ by incorporating. The very first sentence of the Canadian Bill of Rights states, It recognises the Supremacy of God. Christian churches do not need to obtain a special "operating license" to avoid taxation; the government simply cannot tax them to begin with! The church is already immune to all taxation.
The Church of Jesus Christ is forbidden by Scripture to merge with the State because the two exist as separate entities. The State is not to claim jurisdiction over the Church, and the Church is not to place herself in such a position. The Church does not need to request of the State permission to exist as a legal entity. Its charter is the Bible, and its article of incorporation are the commandments of God. As Jesus said, "No man can serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24). If this principle applies to an individual, how much more so to his church?
Church members should confront their pastors and elders on these issues. Do not let them simply brush you off with the claim that the subject has "been studied already," or that "we have always done it this way." Challenge them to produce a copy of the statutes which state that a Christian church must incorporate as a registered organization in order to carry out its God-ordained functions. They will not be able to do this, because such a law simply does not exist. You may find yourself unwelcome in your church, but at least you will have the satisfaction of having stood for the truth and for the sole prerogative of Christ to govern His own Church.
