Just look at the societies that value human rights, justice, equality, etc. The Bible repeats these themes dozens if not hundreds of times.
Such ideas only form rules for how selfish or greedy ones will divide up the resource pie, in fierce competition with the rest for the sake of a family. Humans do not rise to love, only to toleration. They say, “Don’t step on my toes, and I’ll (try to) not step on yours.” If you want to speak of rights, you can ask about the rights of future generations to the resources an overpopulated planet squanders mercilessly today. Justice is a concept that requires injustice to have been possible. Equality of body is real, but equality of spirit is fiction. The Bible rises no higher than human laws, the prophets knowing their religion wouldn’t be accepted if they portrayed God asking more for man than he did for himself.
God has higher standards than were given to men in the religions, and if men really wanted to go to Heaven they’d be forming committees and study groups to ask how the angels live and try to adapt themselves to these higher ways. Swedenborg remarked that the notion Christians have of Heaven doesn’t rise high enough to be called an idea, because if it did they’d immediately have to ask why they can’t dwell like the angels now, if among the angels is where they expect to find themselves. They’d be trying to create a pattern of Heaven on the Earth, which some bright poets will admit is heavenly.
A man who demands justice is a selfish man. He should have thought of friendship first. A man who won’t admit the others have a right to the five essentials of life—food, clothing, shelter, medical and dental care—is a selfish man. From the Bible we don’t even know if Jesus was in favor of universal healthcare, since the good Samaritan needed to pay for the wounded man’s care. I have a long list of higher principles, but selfish men reject these. It starts with not wanting more than your friend (neighbor) can also have, for that would be manifestly unfriendly. And an exchange of money exploits a friend’s need.
The Living God disappears in the Bible, since it only describes what men already knew, from such philosophies as utilitarianism. To go higher than the separatists, requires a higher vision of the nature of the people and their destiny. I think there are people with the higher patterns impressed in them, though currently their minds may be clogged with the formerly revealed religions. Yet I fear someone who is a heartfelt Christian as an adult may be beyond any hope of awakening. The religion is too full of falseness for that.
