God given unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

I believe God has commanded us (born anew believers) to spread the gospel to the whole of humanity. Can we say God desires all people to be saved? Thus should we not consider the right to have an opportunity for salvation has been bestowed upon humanity. For example God loves humanity in this way, He gave His uniquely divine Son so that everyone believing into Him would not perish but have eternal life.

 

Right, I said the opportunity for salvation, not the right to salvation.

 

The bottom line is whether our country's DOI is based in truth or a lie. John 8:44, Revelation 12:9.

 

If to kill a man is to kill one made in the image of God, and is therefore strongly forbidden, how does that not entitle a man to life? At the least it is saying a man is entitled not to be murdered.

 

Everyone without exception who is alive is given this gift of life. So none is entitled to one's life? If not, that is not rational.

 

The gift causes life to be an entitlement. Furthermore one cannot have a gift without having it as one's property, hence the right to a property must precede a gift. Or a gift is never really owned.

 

Entitled by whom? God desires all men be saved, thus He would have all humanity hear the gospel. I suppose you could say God is not entitled to desire all men be saved by hearing and accepting fully the gospel. No need for evangelism because the lost need not be given the same opportunity we had. Got it...

 

I disagree. The constitutional prohibition of compelling an accused person to be a witness against himself does entitle that person to silence, as is stated in those rights that must be read to a suspect.

 

Not even close. Are you claiming that our God given right to life is not a right because we had nothing to do with its bestowal?
We do not have a right to life, so its ok to murder, or enslave, or abuse? I am sorry but my understanding of scripture differs fundamentally.

God desires all men be saved, thus He would have all humanity hear the gospel. I suppose you could say God is not entitled to desire all men be saved by hearing and accepting fully the gospel. No need for evangelism because the lost need not be given the same opportunity we had.

You cannot hear the gospel if you have been murdered.
You cannot hear the gospel if such information has been banned, thus our liberty to exercise our beliefs is a fundamental right, from God's viewpoint.
You cannot pursue happiness in the afterlife if government (say Iran) did not allow Christian teaching in public.

 

You are turning our inalienable rights into entitlements.
