Excellent article. Where i am stayingn now, the govt. pays lip service to “rights”, but the truth is that money trumps all.

There are no “rights” for any of us sin-polluted humans except the right to eternal death. But thank God, that thru Jesus he is recreating us as his sons and daughters (unborn ones too).

I wonder what the previous leaders of America based the constitution of the land on for us to keep mumbling on whether or not the Law of God should not take precedence over human theory and opinions.

Again, the question must be asked. What are you asking of us? Do you wish to see this recognition of the Creator added to American law? How shall this be accomplished?

There are very good sentiments but it is unclear what you want to do.

“You guys keep doing the same tired stories again and again, apparently drinking from the same pool of ideas and catchphrases that appears to have lost its source of fresh water long ago. You are fractally wrong on just about everything you mentioned in this blog entry. If you don’t know what that means, please google it. It saddens me that your readership finds this sort of drivel nourishing in any sense of the word.”

WHAT?!

What are you talking about? What is your problem? Everyone of your blogs, that I have read, are always so harsh, so immature, and so negative.

Michael you need Jesus. I encourage you, I urge you, give your heart, your life, to Jesus. Please contact me and I will be happy to help you find your way to Christ. You can email me at: gowith831@yahoo.com.

God bless you!

“… Increasingly, we are witnesses to the absurdity of seeking to craft a logical basis for rights out of thin air. Postmodernism offers nothing solid, only relative truths, and hostility towards anyone believing that truth is objective. There is a reason the first angel calls the world to return to the worship of the Creator.”

AMEN

God bless you.

What a valid, thoughtful, and thought provoking article. Thank you for your prespective. I especially appreciated paragraphs three and four which state:

“History records the logical result of the divergent approaches. The French Revolution devolved into the “Rein of Terror.” Subsequent efforts to base rights on human reason—from Stalin’s Soviet Union to Mao’s China to Pol Pot’s Cambodia—all resulted in the most shocking degradation of humanity. And the Nazi’s famously based their extermination programs on evolutionary theory—claiming they were following the course of natural selection by destroying those they deemed “inferior.”

In contrast, the American concept of human rights endowed by our Creator, has led to consistent progress. From the abolition of slavery to equal rights for women, from the great civil rights struggle to protections for workers, all our moves to recognize broader rights, understood more deeply and applied in a more equitable manner have been based on a desire to more perfectly recognize and reflect the values of our Creator.”

Thank you so much for this piece. God bless you.

A well balanced analysis by James Standish. If there is no Creator then we set up ourselves as a God and our human reasoning is absolute. Very scary considering that we are fallen human beings. As James pointed out history bares this thinking out in outrageous acts against our fellow human beings. That is why this last message of mercy to our world (Rev.14:6-12) is to bring back men to a realization that his reasoning must be held responsible to the law of God.

It should also be noted that the greatest opposition to each of the above was done in the Name of the Creator.

Hi everyone, A further comment on the Sabbath and Creation. Some, even among Adventists try to believe in Creation and the Sabbath while at the same time embracing a form of evolution. They state a believe that Genesis 1:1 could embrace millions even billions of years while the earth was evolving from “without form and void” to what followed during the rest of Creation. Vers one states “their was darkness on the fact of the Deep and the Spirit of God hovered over the Waters. The word “deep” in the Hebrew is also translated as “great sea” composed obviously of “water” Verse one also states that “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” In Exodus 20:11, the same authour, Moses, dictating what God said as he pronounced the Sabbath Commandment, “For in six days, the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.” “Heaven and earth, the sea” and “light” were created on the first day; and “all that in them is” on the following days. Note that day one began with “darkness” over the face of the deep, followed by “And God said, ‘Let there be “light”, and there was light.’and the evening (dark) and the morning (light) were the first day.”
