<<< “ Personally, I disagree with God given rights.” “ >>>
You’re right. It’s not scriptural. God given rights are not scriptural but are a social construct. America presumes it’s own blessing of God.
It makes sense that a Christian nation discovered by the Christians would seek and write Rights for their nation, in a Constitution and a Bill of Rights, but realistically that nation may become no longer a Christian nation and these documents can be made obsolete. And, presently they are becoming problematic to the Godless.
Back to God though, God speaks, “ If MY PEOPLE will humble themselves, repent of their wicked ways and pray, then I will hear and I will heal your land”. He was not talking to a nation, or the Joe Schmoes who don’t care about God, short of a car wreck, but to only HIS People. The Church. The New Testament speaks all about the Church, as being His people, and not so much about Israel, thus, we have the teaching on the Gentiles being grafted in to make the Jews “jealous”.
The Church has not Repented.
Christians knew about borders though, and God set the very borders for Israel, instructing them to where go in and take the land, destroy those in it, and possess the land for themselves, as HIS people. So God gave physical boundaries to the Jews. Before that there was a Family, Abrams family, later to be named Abraham, then there was a Tribe, until they became a people and a state and a nation..
.......The following is from DanielPassini.org:
Clement of Alexandria put it this way in the early third century: “But when one joins God’s people, one has a different country (Heaven) and a different lawgiver (God).”
Phillipians puts it this way: “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ — Phillipians 3:20
Pierre de Labriolle said, “... Christians are hybrid people.They are paroikoi, resident aliens, living locally and participating in society, but not as full citizens.” —
“Once we become followers of Christ we have renounced our citizenship to this world and its systems.” .......
One other relevant point. Do you remember Schoolhouse Rock and that little tune singing the Preamble to the Constitution?
"to ourselves and our posterity"
is not at all the same as
"to our posterity and as many third world people from failed nation-states, Islamic theocracies, and dictatorships as the Democrats can cram in illegally."
Having to pass a historical knowledge quiz about the Constitution, is not the same thing as having it "in your bones" from childhood.
The Dems and their Communist masters have erased the teaching of the Constitution from the schools; now they are trying to drown those of us who remember, in a flood of foreign illegal voters, too.
