Received a very moving e-mail from Gene Chapman today titled "Extortioners Shall Not Inherit The Kingdom Of God!" . Thank you Gene, I needed some inspiration. I hope more and more Christian ministers learn to see the danger of being complicit in the Big Fraud.

The word 'extortion' is perhaps the most powerful word in all of Holy
Scripture against the Internal Revenue Service and the members of the United States
House and Senate, who are complicite with the IRS, by their silence on the tax
liability issue, as it relates to individuals. Even the sitting President of
the United States is complicite in any extortion that he sees but does not act
against. But let's not stop there. Every minister in every pulpit in America
who doesn't speak up against extortion where they see it is also complicite in
that extortion. And every citizen of a democratic republic who sits silent
while watching an extortion take place is complicite in that extortion, as well:
for, to be in a democratic republic is to be either actively or passively
complicte in every act of that government, as we are all individually responsible
to God in the running of such a government.

Webster's Dictionary defines 'extortion': "to obtain from a person by
violence, threat, oppression or abuse of authority."

'Extortion' appears in the Bible twice. 'Extortioner' appears three times.
And 'extortioners' appears three times in Holy Scripture, as well.

In I Corinthians 6:9-10, we read the following: "Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulters, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
extortioners , shall inherit the kingdom of God." Paul the Apostle is telling the
church at Corinth here that those who "obtain from a person by violence, threat,
oppression or abuse of authority" are those who can expect that they "shall not
inherit the kingdom of God." But what does it mean not to 'inherit' the
kingdom of God?

The word 'inherit' in I Corinthians 6:10 is the Greek word, "kleronomeo." It
means, "to be an heir," "possessor." It means you are the type of person who
should expect to go to Hell when you die. So, if you allow such things to go
on, you are complicite in 'extortion' and should expect to go to Hell when you
die.

So, Pastor Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church, Dr. Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible
Fellowship, Bishop T. D. Jakes of The Potter's House, Dr. Jerry Falwell or
Thomas Road Baptist church, Dr. Lee Roberson of Tennessee Temple University, Dr.
Bob Jones III of Bob Jones University, Dr. Billy Graham, Dr. Jack Graham of
Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dr. Charles Stanley of First Baptist Church in
Atlanta, President George W. Bush, Senators and Congressmen, Americans, I present
the following: If, as Irwin Schiff asserts, there is no tax liability in the
IRS Code Book (ie. Tax Laws) for individuals, then, to the extent that you
remain silent and/ or uninquisitive in these matters, you are complicite with one
another in an extortion of funds from the American people and may fully expect
not to inherit the kingdom of God.

Jesus said, 'I was in prison, and ye visited (ie. Greek -- episkeptomia: to
look out for, to inspect) me not' (see: Matthew 25:43). "Then shall they also
answer him , saying, Lord, when . . . saw we thee in prison, and did not
minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not unto the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these
shall go away into everlasting punnishment: but the righteous into life eternal"
(Matthew 25:44-46). Notice that righteous people, who go into "life eternal"
have a heart that moves them 'to inspect/ look out for' those in prison. I
know a man named Dick Simkanin who needs the inspection of the American
Christians. I know another man named Bill Lear in the same prison circumstance. All
they have done is ask, "Where is my tax liability in the law?" And no one in
power or in pulpit will 'inspect' or 'look out for' their situation, as Jesus
taught us. No one, that is, except for a rag tag group of tax honesty folks, me
included.

respectfully,

Pastor Gene Chapman
