Welcome to the weekly live Q&A with Pastor David Guzik, author of the Enduring Word Bible commentary. After our lead question, Pastor David takes questions via the live chat - simply add your questions & our moderator will arrange & deliver them to Pastor David according to theme or subject! We take as MANY questions as possible, but if yours is not answered, fear not! All unanswered questions are saved for use in upcoming Q&A's.

This week, Pastor David's Q&A begins with this question from viewer L Posto, who asks:
"Where in the Bible do we get these "self-evident truths" that (1) all men are created equal (2) that they are endowed by their Creator with certain "unalienable Rights", including the rights to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? Do people of all nations have these "unalienable rights"? Is the right to liberty the same as political freedom? (In Christ we are set free from bondage to sin.) Many thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom."
