ROLE OF REVEALED LAW

From within the writings of the Bible, the founding fathers and former like-minded scholars found that God's laws are revealed. These laws are designed to promote, preserve and protect man's unalienable rights.

Not only does man have unalienable rights, but unalienable duties as well.
These duties include:

• Public duties between state and people.
• Private duties between the individual and God.

The duties between the state and the people are enforced by the people granting the state authority to maintain civility. The duties between an individual and God are enforced by self-discipline. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of each person to respect the rights of others.

Are there laws enacted today that contradict God's laws?
Also, are there laws that support God's laws, but are not readily enforced?
