I have read the Bible only 7 times cover to cover and wonder where the Creator gives us rights. Can anyone tell me?

The reveled law of Moses. For example:

By prohibiting us from murder, we have a right to live

By prohibiting us from stealing, we retain a right to property

By prohibiting us from bearing false witness, we have a right not to be injured because someone lies about us (perjury, slander & libel)

The Founders referred to these laws as the laws of Nature and nature's God in the Declaration of Independence.

The Law also prohibited kidnapping.

Every slave, except those born to the state, starts out with a kidnapping.
