The Declaration of Independence gives us the fundamental philosophy of government in America. As we say at Institute on the Constitution, the Declaration is the “why” document of American government juxtaposed with the Constitution, which is the “how” of American government.
The undeniable basic presupposition of the Declaration of Independence – which transcends all cultures and people groups unequivocally – is that we were Created by God, our rights come from Him, and the single duty of Government is to protect those God-given rights.
Now the authority of the Declaration relies on the Law that preceded all law documents, the Holy Word of God. The Bible declares, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
This text bears witness to the human dignity, equality, and liberty given to man by his Creator in this extraordinary and unprecedented act of love and kindness.
God later ordained that government power would protect these basic rights of men and women, and “that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.”
You see, government has NO right to go outside the bounds God has set for it. These bounds are what the Declaration calls the Laws of Nature and the Laws of Nature’s God, which we call Revealed Law – the Bible.
As we just read, God created man and woman with no in between or ability to transition out of their sex. The Laws of Nature and science distinguish individuals with 2 X chromosomes as a female, or individuals with X & Y chromosomes, as a male. How then can government be expected to secure God-given rights when it finances and attempts through a so-called sex change to mutilate the nature of the humanity God created?
Rather than being a servant of God and the people, the government would then be found guilty of the eternal crime of establishing itself as their god with boundless power over the people, thus denying the true God and consequently denying their duty to secure the rights He created humanity with.
Not only would this be a breathtaking usurpation, it is the epitome of unlawful and unconstitutional action. Inevitably this will contribute to the destruction of natural liberties and ultimately create an out of control power system that will arbitrarily change the rules according to its own dictates. Please understand this is not fear or paranoia; historical precedent proves it. Just look at the past century and the amount of blood spilled in many countries by their own totalitarian government regimes.
All those in America who desire to change reality and truth, or who are currently suing the Trump administration to change reality and truth, don’t realize that inviting our government to fund the mutilation of individual bodies simply because they serve in the military is bringing us to a whole new level of insecurity of rights.
Please join me and pray for those who are victims of this tragic delusion and by love let’s seek to preserve the reality that men and women are loved, cared for, and equal in the sight of God and our Constitution.
