Question

From an encyclopedia, the Internet, or other reference, read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

Answer 1

Answer:

“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." So, This is connected to the biblical worldview and teaching in the sense that everyone is created with an equal oppuritunity or chance to live. No one is created literally equal or we would all look the same, talk the same, and think the same. Instead, we all have an oppuritunity at life and to live. Also, we all have the right to pursue happiness. Sin provides a certain happiness in our lives. It provides a short-term happiness that corrupts us. In the Declartation of Indepence, sin is a pursuit of happiness, but also doing good is too. They meant that we should pursue what God says is good happiness. For instance, doing nice things to people and serving them. This makes me happy and every other human being that is not narcisitic or a robot. That happiness is joy and it does not come from our cirumstances, but from the happiness in our hearts that shows a relationship with God.

I hope this helped.
