Truths to be self-evident!

All humans (mankind) are created equal! I believe in this statement with all of my being.

You and I come into this world in the same way and manner. You and I are birthed, bare to this world exactly the same. Innocent and vulnerable. A wonderfully made creation. A beautiful miracle. No sense of color, gender, age, or religion. Exactly the same: Equal!

It is not until you and I grow and develop that our equality is perverted. Jaded by society. Distorted by who and where you and I are reared and raised. It is not God who segregates you and I. It is you and I who separates and judges according to color, gender, age, or religion.

Even though you and I are born into sin, which separates you and I from God, He created us with free will: the unalienable right of choice. A choice to be with God or remain separated from God. It is yours and mine to decide, to choose, through and by free will. It is this same free will that gives us the right of choice to correct what has been jaded and distorted within our external life. Equality!

As we grow and develop so does our knowledge of right and wrong, and truths and lies. "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:..." It does not matter what color, gender, age, or religion you and I are. For we are created equal, one in the same image of God!

Brothers and Sisters!
