Where does the Bible say a person has inherent rights? Biblical rights are the right to obey God, and stem from Divinely imposed obligations. Right to property is not based on some abstract inherent sovereignty of man, but rather on 1) God's dispositions and grants of property stewardship to people, and 2) God's prohibitions against interference with that stewardship by others.
Man does not have unlimited license to do what he wants. And civic duty is not based in man's voluntary "social contract", but in God's imposition of moral and ethical obligations.

Since we can not over throw the government, theonomy can only exist in the heart? The law is written in the heart by the Spirit.
and of course we study the bible to understand how to obey God's commandments.
