Bible Question: Does God intend for one nation (race) to have more ownership over land territories than any other nation (race)? Who rightfully owns the land? |
Bible Answer: Our founding fathers, and theologians and philosophers before them, based the belief of individual property rights on the eighth commandment. By implication, therefore, groups of men ought to have the rights to own personal property as well. This is further implied by God's command to for men to replenish the earth (Genesis 9:1). |
