“Americans,
conditioned by our history, are very concerned about "our rights."
All human rights are given to us by the Creator. As our Declaration
of Independence rightly explains: "they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights."
Human rights, then, are not arbitrary but conform to what God has given and allowed. The right to life is one such right. Freedom of speech is a right, but it is limited so as to exclude blasphemy of God. God does not give us a "right" to acts which are contrary to His nature. He gives us a free will and we can sin with it, but He does not give us the protected "right" to sin. Nobody on Judgment Day will protest, "But I had the RIGHT to curse you and commit mortal sins!"
So then, God does not give us the "right" to curse Him, the "right" to kill innocents, nor the "right" to commit sodomy. The rights given by the Creator always conform to the law of the Creator.”
