If you have taken the time to read the Declaration of Dependence, you might have noticed a specific flaw in the document. To find it, you will have to read carefully. Let us discuss this briefly: The document itself may contain many flaws - grammatically and otherwise. And, while these have yet to be located, we suspect that they will be; people will always take time to find ways to critique. However, this presents little problem for our ministry since no warranty of perfection could ever be given on the Declaration. And, while the idea that the Document was divinely inspired may be arguable, it is NOT the Holy Bible. It was written by the hands of a single man, Paul Parsons. That man, a minister of God, called to do the Father's will, labored painstakingly and prayerfully for hundreds of hours, but in the opinion of Rev. Parsons, it could never have been perfect, regardless of the time and effort spent. The Declaration of Dependence is simply a writing that is hoped to become the symbol of an idea - the idea that the principles of II Chronicles 7:14 apply to God's people today in precisely the same way as they did to the Jews in the Old Testament. NOW, have you discovered the fairly obvious flaw? Down near the bottom of the document, in fact, on the nest to last line, where you find the words, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives..." you will notice that the tiny preposition "to" has been inserted above the line. This occurred when the calligrapher accidentally left out that word. She was quite upset when she realized it, fearing that she might have to start all over again. Then, an amazing thing happened; she noticed that the copy of the Declaration of Independence to which she had been referring had a similar flaw, not once, but several times! Recognizing the possibility that this error might have, in some supernatural fashion, been God's way of connecting the two documents even more closely, we decided to leave it just as it is. And that is the story of the flaw. |
