Principles of Jurisdiction and Rights

The magisterial reformers believed that only God can judge the hearts of men, therefore, humans cannot claim jurisdiction over things they cannot see. However, they could guide based on principles such as the Ten Commandments. Egalitarianism, a central toxin according to the speaker, has led to manifestations like feminism and socialism, aiming to level everything. The Christian perspective on rights is rooted in God-given rights, where having a right means others have the obligation to leave you alone. This contrasts with the leftist view of rights, which can lead to obligations like wage increases, affordable housing provision, or free healthcare, potentially creating burdens on others in society.
