All Men Are Created Equal

The opening of the United States Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, states as follows:

We hold these truths to be self-evident,  that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,  that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed;

The right to liberty can be found in the letter of Saint Paul to the members of the Church of God referring to the Galatians.

Gal 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 

The right to become happy is also mentioned in proverbs; for a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Prov 17:22  A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

But the right to life is something we must leave to our creator, as living without Him is vain.

Jn 6:63  It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Jn 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Eccles 7:15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 

In this world, life is full of calamity and the pursuit of  happiness is dependent on every individual as the Scripture says:

Jn 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.

Think of a scenario that we are all the same; same looks, same familiar faces, same status in life or same in everything. Aside from the problem of identification, who's gonna clean the toilet or the oven, or whom to pay when money is not needed? If you have money, you can let somebody work for you. If not then work for that money. 

So we are not created equal after all,  though in God, we are all the same by faith in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:26 For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:29 And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

But as the saying goes; The money is with a man, but the truth is, many man has no money. Learn the secret of happiness which is contentment.

Heb 13:5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, "I will never fail you nor forsake you."

Phil 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Acts of God

Claims of some religious group that earthquakes are the work of Satan is a big lie. Satan is a deceitful liar and can not harm man without God permission. Satan can not even turn stones into bread to tempt Jesus of hunger in his forty days and forty nights fasting.

Earth's disaster are God's wrath and fierce anger.

Is 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Others said it was a man made disaster due to coal mining expeditions made all throughout the world thereby changing the earth tectonic plates positioning and its structure. With God, there is no need for any man to remove anything for him to create an eartquake. He can make the earth tremble with a mere stare and touch.

Ps 104:32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

With his voice, God can shook the earth and beneath even the heaven up above.

Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

He can call the waters in the sea to create typhoon that flood and destroy everything in our possession.

Amos 9:6 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

God gave us our life and nobody can take that away. No one but He.

Deut 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

But surely, either dead or alive, we are for God. So, If you want eternal life, why die without God and Jesus?

Mt 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Hear Ye

Hear this word that the LORD has spoken to you.

Matthew 7:24-25 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

Matthew 7:26-27 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Also, hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Amos 3:6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the LORD have done it?

God will punish those who enjoy evil and He will cause them to believe what is false.

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Including those who were once enlightened and have fallen away.

Hebrews 6:6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

Hear ye, hear ye!
