Elephants in the Room

Elephant #2

Every Christian I know, have met, or heard of, founds all that they are and all that they believe, on the Holy Scriptures of God, the Bible.

And yet, nowhere, in any place in all 66 books of those Holy Scriptures, does God ever quote Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence.

What Mr. Jefferson called rights, we know from the Scriptures are privileges. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are ONLY granted to us by God if and when we obey Him and make Him the sole King and Savior of our souls. If we do not obey Him and make Him the sole King and Savior of our souls, God promises us death, slavery, and yielding up of happiness.

So, in times like these, or in any other times for that matter, why do Christians clamor for their "Rights" when if God Himself decides to pluck up a nation, and gives that nation over to the ungodly heathen to rape, pillage, and destroy it, do we think calling upon Thomas Jefferson is going to save us?

Is not the Declaration of Independence then, or the Constitution of the United States, just a piece of paper, to be dispensed with as the conquerors have need?
