What Does the Bible Say About Equality?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on equality
Bībele runā par vienlīdzību daudzviet. Dievs radījis visus cilvēkus savā attēlā un līdzībā, tāpēc ikviens ir vienlīdzīgs Viņa acīs neatkarīgi no dzimuma, ādas krāsas vai sociālā stāvokļa. Bībele māca mums būt taisnīgiem un labvēlīgiem pret visiem cilvēkiem, jo Dievs neņem vērā personas ārējo izskatu vai sociālo statusu, bet vērtē sirds stāvokli un motivāciju.
