A Fundamental Question
#3
TheRealThing Wrote:That is impossible to prove or disprove. However, I am really happy to see you've brought it up, and then there is this tidbit within the writings of the founding documents;

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitles them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Some bullets just cannot be dodged. An examination of the true foundation of American law must begin with the question: “Is the law of God supreme or is it subject to the laws of peoples and nations?” Two answers to this question are possible. The first answer is that God exists and his law, including his laws pertaining to the creation of nations, governments and constitutions, are supreme, right and absolute. The second answer is that whether or not God or his law exist, the law of peoples and nations, are supreme, right and absolute at least until they are changed. *[Lonang Institute]

So, you are in the second camp Sombrero?

Would you, then, Constitutionally, disallow adultery?

▶The "Nature's God" aspect, by extension, goes to "endowed by their Creator" with "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.". I believe the argument being constructed suggested that no King or Tyrant could or should supercede the freedom endowed by the Creator. Without question, human dignity (liberty) is being grounded in the Creator, not anything created. But, if you are suggesting the Framers saw it as establishing a New World Israel relationship with God for America, I cannot concur.

I reject the "only got two options" aspect of your question. That American law was based on Judaeo-Christian ethics, I do not dispute. That America was positioned in covenant relationship as was Israel cannot be initiated by Man.

What I am asserting is that freedom of conscience was of supreme value to the Framers.
