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.
