上帝从来没有说过人人平等,这句话出自十八世纪的英国议员威廉威伯福斯,他一身致力于解放黑人奴隶。

圣经里中多次提到上帝没有区别对待人,可能威廉威伯福斯的这句话也是圣经中延伸而来. 我的第一记忆就是新约中James 中的这段话:
Favoritism Forbidden:
"My brother and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Chris must not show favoritism,. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes,and a poor man in filthy old clothes also come in, If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say "here is a good seat for you" but say to the poor man, "you stand there" or "sit on the floor by my feet." have you not discriminated among yourself and become judges with evil thoughts."
不要偏待人,人知道吧,人或只是“知”而“不去行”?
2:1-7 雅各谴责偏袒的行为。我们对衣冠楚楚的人往往比对衣衫褴褛的人好,因为我们喜欢接受成功的人,拒绝失败的人。但雅各提醒我们,那些看来成功的人要与作谦卑仆人的耶稣认同是十分困难的。你是不是将地位、财富或名誉铭刻于心?你有没有偏袒富人而忽视穷人?如果有,这就是罪了。神看所有人都是平等的,如果说他偏爱某些人,那就是软弱和贫穷的人,我们应该效法他的榜样。
类似的话在新约中有很多。
在旧约中也有提到:
Deuteronomy 10:17 "For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.
