Commission-on-unalienable-rights

Brother, you stated several generalities, but didn’t connect any dots, so it is rather difficult to discern what your objections are.

On the other hand, the article made it rather clear that those politically opposed to the commission are fearful of two things in particular. They are worried the US will not support abortion or LGBTQ folk internationally. From the article:

The commission drew swift scrutiny from critics who worry the panel will undermine protections for abortion rights and marginalized groups such as LGBT people.​

 

Well, OK, let’s start out with the most basic and see how it goes.

After the Flood, God came down rather firmly regarding the right to life, to the point that anyone guilty of murder should be executed, that is, the murderer thereby forfeited his own right to life. God even links it all the way back to creation.

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God he made man,” Gen 9:6.

 

I’m starting to experience déjà vu here. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes.

 

You will have to explain what that statement is supposed to mean. The entire point of delineating such human rights is to point out that they should not be violated by man.

The grammar seems rather straightforward; "they" and “their” refers to “all men.” Are you intending to deny that all men have the same Creator?

 

Do you think that human rights are granted by government?

 

I gave you an answer regarding right to life. Please to go back and address my inquiry to your response here.

You will have to explain what that statement is supposed to mean.

 

Oh, God allows governments.

 

OK, thanks for the clarification. Now I understand where the problem lies. The definition is correct but is being improperly applied.

An “unalienable right” cannot mean that the right cannot be violated, it means that the right cannot rightly be denied to exist or arbitrarily taken away.

Recognizing the right to life by passing a law against murder does not mean no one can be murdered. We know they can, thus the reason for stating the law. What it does mean is that the right to life remains so, even if violated, so that a person was indeed murdered and not merely "helped along on their spiritual journey."

God said the violation of this right was so serious that the murderer must forfeit his own life via execution.

 

You just post such crazy stuff. I cant tell if you are serious or not.

 

Ever wonder why the godless left is so opposed to the bible? Because it teaches liberty is better than slavery. The left thinks the governed are the slaves of the state, with no rights other than those bestowed by the state.

So if God bestows life, only God has the creator right to take life. Communists disagree.

If it is better to be free than slave, and God is sovereign, then God has bestowed the right to strive to be free.

If the Bible teaches us we are to (1) love God, and (2) enjoy life, then God has bestowed upon us the right to strive to enjoy life.

I hold these truths to be self evident, those that deny these rights for others, but hold fast to them themselves are deceitful.

 

To look at the issue from the other end, the state has bestowed abortion rights and LGBT rights, not found explicitly in scripture.

 

He who answers questions with questions practices deflection, but the bible teaches it is better to be free than slave, better to made alive together with Christ, and the way to enjoy life is to love God and strive to keep His commands.

The universal decree of the godless left is you have no rights, only duties.
