What Does the Bible Say About Discrimination?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on discrimination
Η Βίβλος αναφέρεται σε πολλά σημεία σχετικά με τη διάκριση. Στο Καινό Καινός, ο Απόστολος Παύλος διδάσκει ότι στα μάτια του Θεού δεν υπάρχει διάκριση μεταξύ ανθρώπων, αναγνωρίζοντας ότι όλοι είναι ίσοι μπροστά στον Θεό. Επίσης, ο Ιησούς Χριστός διδάσκει την αγάπη και τον σεβασμό προς όλα τα πρόσωπα, ανεξάρτητα από την εθνικότητα, το φύλο ή το κοινωνικό καθεστώς.
