How do we know God's intention for inequality?

Answered in 1 source

God's intention for inequality can be discerned through scripture, which emphasizes that not all men were meant to be equal.

The notion that humanity was created with varied conditions is supported by the observation that universal equality is unattainable due to the diverse gifts, circumstances, and challenges individuals face. J.C. Ryle expounds that biblical scripture does not imply a divine mandate for everyone to be equal, as differences are inherent in creation itself. Instead of striving for artificial equality, Christians are called to acknowledge these differences while working to uplift the conditions of the disadvantaged. This understanding encourages a compassionate approach to those in need without misunderstanding God's design for social structures.
