The entire Scripture has this authority. "Scripture" and "Word of God" are names to us that mean the same thing. The whole Bible is the very Word of God. The recognition of the authority

In 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) it says‚ “all Scripture is God-breathed and it useful for teaching‚ rebuking‚ correcting and training in righteousness.” Over 40 authors contributed

Liberty is the freedom from certain restrictions that are forced on the lives of people in society. But in America‚ liberty is more than just a definition. Liberty is an icon‚ a way of living and a motivation. In fact‚ many of the structures or statues in America have liberty inscribed on them or have the word liberty in the name.

They’re treated like empyreal emperors at a time when they should be ordered to shut their PlayStations and take a good look at their school books. There’s too much rationalism in there and very little humanism‚ which in a sense explains the reason
