Equal rights by God

The second paragraph of the United States Declaration of Independence starts as follows: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Our question for this issue is indeed an interesting one: A reader asks: "Has God created all men equal?"

Perhaps the most famous statement of equality is found in the American "Declaration of Independence" (DoI). It says that "all men are created equal." Their equality, according to the DoI, consists in this, that "they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Many Americans believe that the DoI is a Christian document, and point to such statements as these as proof. What they overlook is the fact that these statements are humanistic lies from beginning to end. They come from the Deism (a denial of God's presence in and government of the world) of the French Revolution rather than from Scripture. The fact that the DoI mentions a Creator should not blind us to this fact. Nowhere, does Scripture say that men have certain "unalienable rights." In fact, the truth of Scripture is that men have no rights with God at all.

The reality of equal rights:

The commentary by Reverend Ronald Hanko is basically a half truth. His explanation of whether or not God created man to be equal muddies up the clear waters of reality. As in religion and all of life, everything comes down to one’s interpretation and personal opinion. The Reverend certainly has his opinion as I have mine and in my opinion, his is based on a myth while mine is based on reality. He is right about God not creating all men equal; however, the constitution declares freedom and equal rights to all Americans claiming that all men are created equal. The word created, is not exclusive to God; man created the Bible and the constitution and every American has the right to pick and choose thanks to the constitution of the USA, not the Bible. I have to give credit where credit is due.

Comment:

The Bill of Right’s is an extension of the US Constitution. It consists of 10 amendments to the Constitution. Without the Constitution, there would be no Bill of Rights. The Declaration of Independence stands alone, however, it was designed to justify breaking away from a government but it is worthless without the constitution. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were designed to establish a legitimate government.
