What Does the Bible Say About Discrimination?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on discrimination
Raamattu käsittelee syrjintää monissa kohdissa ja opettaa, että Jumala ei suosi ketään ihmisiä rodun, sukupuolen tai sosiaalisen aseman perusteella. Jeesus opetti rakkauden ja armeliaisuuden merkityksestä lähimmäisiä kohtaan, korostaen kaikkien ihmisten samanarvoisuutta Jumalan edessä.
