So when leftists with designs to grow government and remove God from all-things-public in America replace the word equality with the word equity and insist that political leaders take on the role of creating standards of equity, it’s a red flag. It’s a red flag because it’s not coming from a place of biblical equity, but rather earthly, politicized equity.
In a scenario where Joe Citizen works hard, studies harder, scrimps and saves the hardest of all, and as such, manages to move from poverty to riches, and Jack Citizen drops out of school, sells drugs, goes to jail, and fails to learn any valuable skills that yield career advancement — equality holds Jack accountable for poor life choices.
Democrats, with equity, find easy causes to pretend to support; to turn into talking points to attack Republicans.Equality says we are all equal in God’s eyes; that we are all endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are the rights to pursue life, liberty and happiness — but that the outcomes of those pursuits depends largely on the individual.
Equity means God needs to get out of government’s way, so that the bureaucratic class can have a good look at who’s got what, who should get what, and who should give up what to provide for the government’s selected class.Equality is godly. Equity is wicked; it promotes a lie and promises an outcome that can never be realized.
