The Declaration of Independence begins; “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Notice the phrase, “Laws of Nature and of Nature's God . .” In America this phrase truthfully reveals from where our rights come. Our rights come from the Laws of Nature or from Nature’s God who is the Creator of all things, the Lord of Host, the only Almighty God. Our rights don’t come from Government!  Our rights were given to us by God Himself. The declaration continues in the next paragraph where it states; “”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.” The Creator created us and granted us these rights, and they are unalienable. (Unalienable means; not to be separated, given away, or taken away.) The next phrase in the same paragraph is profound, and it is extremely important that we know and understand what it says and what it means. It reads; “--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, . . .” In other words, our Government was instituted and is in place to protect these rights and to maintain the continuation of these rights which were given to us by God.  This is the sole purpose of United States Government, nothing else. The next phrase in the same paragraph is also profound, and it too is extremely important that we know and understand what it says and what it means. It reads; “ -That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." In the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States are these words; “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Is there any farther explanation needed to understand why our Nation, The United States of America has prospered for the past 200+ years?  I think not!   America was created, and has been blessed  by Almighty God. Should we change any of these words? Should we depend up on our Government and the cripples who have gained their false power to grant us our rights? Or should we realize that our rights come to us directly from God and God only. THINK ABOUT THAT! ! !
