just as an aside:
around our July 4th, the Jewish calendar is remembering the golden calf incident...
it's the, are we independent of 'sin' or of 'righteousness'???

Thank AuntieAnt for the video upon Thee Declaration of Independance readout by Max Lean :)

Here is something many Americans and perhaps others around the world , may have not know or read upon , in the original rough draft on the Declaration of Independence ...

Something very important was written by Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson's "original Rough draught" of the Declaration of Independence



These words were written directly to King George III of Britain of the Holy Roman Empire , but who counsel these kings not only in Britain , but also in France , Spain , and other parts of Europe to do such things to men as themselves .


he has incited treasonable insurrections in our fellow-subjects, with the allurements of forfeiture & confiscation of our property: he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.

This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

Link to rough draft of Declaration :

Library of Congress

We must ask ourselves as the readers of this document , were was the root of this wicked thing , were did it come from and by whom authority was this established ???

If one looks into History , it is clearly evident , that the authoritative roots of this wickedness , comes from the Bishop of Rome.



These laws are known as The Doctrine of Discovery

Papal bull Authorizing Slavery

Terra Nullius
1095
Dum Diversas
1452
Inter Caetera
1493


Please be reminded , this post is , in no ways excluding Jefferson himself as he was a slave owner , but it is interesting how Jefferson consistently spoke out against the turpitude of slavery and worked gradually to end the practice of slavery .

Shalom to all the Brethren on Christian Chat :)
