This is a theme in all 4 Gospels but it is most clearly displayed in Jesus's treatment of the outcasts and women that is highlighted by Luke.
because he thought everyone was equal
they thought it gave equal rights to everyone
they thought it gave equal rights to everyone
He was liberal for his time, he detested the class system and thought of everyone as equal
because they thought everyone should be equal.
that everyone is equal.. that everyone is equal..
It seems to me that the only people that were suspicious of Jesus were the ruling Jews, the Pharisees and Sadducees, because they thought that Jesus made himself equal with God: Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. (John 5.18)
Merits-Everyone is Equal. Demerits-Everyone is Equal.
the declaration of independence says that everyone is created equal
because men and everyone else thought that god made men better and gave them the rights to do that
In the gospel accounts, especially the earliest gospel, the Gospel of Mark, it is difficult to find any strengths of Simon Peter. He is portrayed as impetuous and constantly unable to understand, and his faith is inadequate. Despite his strongest assertion that even if he had to die with Jesus he would never deny him, Peter deserted Jesus and later denied Jesus three times. Nevertheless, Matthew's Gospel has Peter finally emerge as the pre-eminent leader of the twelve, cast as the disciple Jesus selected to carry on his work. In Acts of the Apostles, Peter is represented quite differently. Here he is portrayed as a great leader, orator, miracle worker and intermediary to God, in many ways an equal to Jesus.
Martin Luther King Jr did not think everyone was the same. He thought that everyone should be judged by the same standard. There is an important difference.
