we are all the same in God's eyes. you will probably get 100 different answers tot his, and it is 100% possible they will all be wrong. we aren't God. those who try to answer for God without consulting the Holy Scriptures or the Holy Bible will be unfounded (like the answer that he doesn't see the divisionin religions.... i promise you, his character says oh yes he does). based on what we know about God from the bible and the Jewish Holy Scriptures, this sentiment means exactly what it sound slike. he doesn't see one of us any different than another. we were all created by him, and therefore none of gets special priviledges.
however, this sentiment is not in the Scriptures. we know it because he calls the Jews his chosen people. there's a favortism right there. in the Christian bible, only those who choose to believe in Jesus get into Heaven. sounds like pretty heavy favortism to me. the closest thing i have ever read is this, "God is a respecter of no man." that is probably slightly paraphrased, but the meaning is this: in the eyes of a Holy God, none of us measure up that God should be a respecter of anyone. to accomplish any of his words, wills, or requests requires a person who is dead to themself (you don't trust your own mind or thoughts), and only listens to what God says.
theologically speaking, it's a very unanswered question. then again, it's not really a theological question based on the three major faiths that revolove around a single God, Jehova, or Allah.

Well, you could interpret this different ways, but basically I think it means that God views us all as being fundamentally the same beings regardless of any Earthly distinctions (e.g. race, background, wealth, education, power, etc.)
You might also interpret this to mean that regardless of what we do or don't do on Earth, it doesn't change our fundamental nature from God's viewpoint. But that would seem to contradict the classical teachings that we are assigned to Heaven or Hell based on our decisions.
Who knows? Why bother trying to figure this sort of thing out? Either you have faith in God or you don't. Either way, this sort of puzzle is too complex for a mere human.

He molded us all as a human. He loves us all from the
beginning as we are all the same. Yet, God looks on
the condition of our heart...... not color, fame, fortune,
ethnicticity, popularity, power, smartness, health or
anything else; but He knows if we're truthful, caring,
love our neighbor, and those kinds of meaningful
traits which really make us who we are. God doesn't
want anyone to miss the blessings on earth and the
eternal paradise in the future....but He is not a dictator
and gives us choices. We choose our own fate. He
does not just select some over others because of their
color or richness. Have faith, believe in Him, and you'll
have more blessings here on earth and that eternal
promise. It's so easy and He wants us to walk in His
ways as His children like a limb is grafted to a tree.

We shall be judged by the same truth, the same God, by the same law.
And when mankind walks through the great harvest they will see, the colour has gone and there is but deeds or valour or cowardness, truth or lies. And so people will be judged by their deeds and all men and women will only take with them their good and bad deeds when they meet their lord. In this we are all the same.
In His eyes, we are human, like children that beckon for attention, who want to always be right, fighting wars on things that are meaningless and asking for recognition. In this we are all the same.
We are all moved either by desire; whether it is fame, money, sex, recognition, wealth, spirtual, freedom; it is still desire. We rejoice when good comes and say it is from us and when bad happens we cry and say it is from God. In this we are all the same.
Yes, in the end, whether religion, or colour, culture or gender, in His eyes, we are the same because we came from the same source, and we shall return to the same source, and we shall be judged according to the same things and God....will give the same truth, same justice, using the same law.
And what saddens me the most, we human beings, walk passed each other like strangers. Wehther on bus or walking in town. We can't even say hello anymore. In this we are all the same.
Amazing isn't it. We came from same place, and we can't even say, "hi," or we're like strangers. In this, maybe, we feel the same and wish, it never came to be that way.
Yeah, we're the same but people forgot.

I don't think that He views all of us the same. He realizes that all of us are sinners, but that's the only thing that all of us have in common with each other. For God to be just, He must have the capability to see what we do, what we think, and why. If He can see that, He can see that we're all different.
And since He really does know what's going on, He can distinguish between those who strive to be godly and those who don't care. I would think that He'd favor those who try to follow His laws, but I'm not Him, so I shouldn't presume that.

Obviously, everyone is NOT equal in God's eyes, because he has determined that some people are going to heaven while others are going to hell. The ones who go to heaven to be with him are ones that he considers more worthy of eternal bliss than the ones he sends to hell...and if one group is more worthy than another, then the two groups cannot be said to be equal.

Because we were all made by God...made the same in the likeness of God. We all sin and we all have the ability to forgive, repent and such. We choose to obey or disobey Gods word.

It means that all of those children that he slaughtered in Egypt for Moses are the same as you and me. So don't be surprised if one day you wake up dead for the good of someone in the middle east. Although i suppose the opposite could occur too!

I think you refer to the verse that says God is no respecter of persons, which means about the same.
It means that God doesn't care if you are king or beggar, He doesn't care if you are president or bag lady, He loves us all the same.

We that live by his Word compared to the ones who arent living by the Word,God is not a respecter of person,so those who choose not to live by his Word are allowed so much grace,but when that runs out youd better watch out.
