Did You Know Declaration of Independence?
In spite of denials by liberals the Declaration of Independence, which established the basis for a new government, was based or at least drew much from the Bible. And it revered God.
It opens as follows: “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 separation.
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.”
There is much more, but notice the italics. I did this to emphasize the nature of this document. Here in the opening paragraphs immediate acknowledgement is given to God, our Creator.
Reasonable men can disagree on many things, but there is no basis here to contend that the Declaration does not reference God. It not only references God, but a God Who takes a personal interest in mankind.
The Declaration of Independence is as much a part of our history. It provides the religious, moral, and legal right to break from England and become our own country.
