The Manhattan Declaration is a manmade document designed for this generation of believers to display their faith within their culture. It is not intended to be a substitute for scripture, or even claim to be equal with the inspired text of the Bible. It is the words of Christians to their culture, and those around them, that they will no longer compromise. The Manhattan Declaration is a human document whose signers affirm to truths and morals that God has established in his word and their agreement to abide by God’s Word as revealed in the Bible. The agreement in Nehemiah’s day (Nehemiah 10:28-39) gives us a scriptural precedent upon which the Manhattan Declaration can rest. Nehemiah did the exact same thing that the leaders of the church in America have done in our day.
