The purpose of this article is to identify biblical pillars and parameters for. establishing the role of a pastorâs wife in a local church. The thesis of the. article is that the Scriptures do not in any way define or prescribe the role of. the pastorâs wife, so we must infer the framework for her ministry as the. pastorâs wife from what the Scriptures teach about her identify, role, and. purpose as a woman, a wife, and a believer.
The Enlightenment philosopher who believed in natural rights John Locke. He believed that all humans were entitled to the rights of life, liberty, and property. 6 people found this useful.
For him, it was not just an agreement among the people, but between them and the sovereign (preferably a king). According to Locke, the natural rights of individuals limited the power of the king. The king did not hold absolute power, as Hobbes had said, but acted only to enforce and protect the natural rights of the people. If a sovereign violated these rights, the social contract was broken, and the people had the right to revolt and establish a new government. Less than 100 years after Locke wrote his Two Treatises of Government, Thomas Jefferson used his theory in writing the Declaration of Independence.
