LOL one does NOT need further evidence to SEE and KNOW that 'you', adult human beings, in the days when this was written, were COMPLETELY and UTTERLY 'out of step with God'.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:37 amVery easily.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 12:55 amIf rights are real, how can they be infringed?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 7:20 pm But laws cannot confer rights: they can only recognize them, or fail to do so.
Human beings have free will. Free will means not only that he can do the right thing, but that he can choose to do the wrong one. And his choices affect the real world, and affect other people as well. The sad thing about humans is that they don't always do the right thing, nor do they always accord each other the rights God gave them. That's just further evidence that mankind is out of step with God.
To refer to 'men' ONLY, and thus ignore the rest, violates willfully their rights. So, 'you', "immanuel can", are here, according to 'your logic', declaring "yourself" an enemy of God; thee One that made 'you' and endowed 'you' with rights.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:37 am To violate willfully somebody's rights is to declare oneself an enemy of the God who made him and endowed him with those rights.
As 'you' are also ALWAYS 'SINNING', "immanuel can", then 'you' are, naturally and literally, an enemy, and an opposite, of God, ANYWAY.
Well 'you' have OBVIOUSLY been denying those ACTUAL basic rights. So, 'you', "immanuel can", ARE rebelling AGAINST God.Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:37 am It's an act of rebellion against the true moral order of things. God gave a man life, liberty and the right to behave as a steward of property entrusted to his care; and God holds every man individually responsible on the Day of Judgment for what he has done with those rights. Consequently, a person who denies those basic rights to his fellow man or woman is rebelling against God.
