Yes we are all equal in God's eyes he gives us all the air that we breathe, he makes the sun shine upon the wicked and the Good and th rain rains upon all too.Also as you know no-one can buy their health or get out of death at this time, but everyone has the same opportunity to listen to and obey God from their heart, of course he does favour these who are obedient to him, and try to get to know him and search for truth.Since everyone has the chance for his loving protection if the choose to listen to his word, so yes everyone is equal to him but they may make themselves unequal in not listening to him,and therefore not receiving his blessings yet those who do listen to him do receive his blessingsthe weak are not so because of Ggod's disfavour, but, because of inherited sin!

Yes. All are equal before God. Sin is a very destructive force, that's why God hates it. It causes destruction in every aspect of life. Even the earth and the heavenly bodies are affected by it. (I'm not quoting scripture, but I know scripture to back up everything I say here.) Sickness and disease will attack any and all people. There are many reasons for the results to differ from person to person. Some can be known, some cannot be explained and will never be explained satisfactorily to those affected by it. But this I certainly know: God wants every person free from sickness and disease, and has made healing available to every person. Not once when Jesus walked the earth was His reply to someone seeking healing or deliverance from sickness, no. NOT ONE TIME did he turn someone away. He was always, "yes", "I'm willing", "what do you want me to do for you". No one on this earth will ever convince me any differently. God is not a respecter of persons, only of faith. Faith comes by hearing. What are we "hearing" concerning healing? What do we truly "believe"? Only each individual can answer that question for themselves.

Did you ever consider that equal before God doesn't necessarily mean equal before man....If God doesn't judge like we judge, then why would we think that the weak are at a disadvantage before God? Just a thought that I sometimes ponder myself....
Hoping the best for you...

No
1. God has designated the descendants of the slaves of Egypt as his "Chosen People", meaning that there are other people not chosen (Old Testament)
2. If your parents ever blasphemed, you're already unforgiven in God's eyes (ten commandments, old testament) . . . so are your kids.
3. Those born before Jesus can't get into heaven (new testament)
4. Slaves are obviously below God's laws (ninth commandment acknowledges the ownership of slaves)
5. The pope is infallible in gods eyes, but we're not (catholic doctrine)
6. Jesus (aka God) raised Lazarus from the dead, but no-one else. Guess you got to be "special" friends to get the same privledge.

The Bible says that God is no respector of persons - meaning that he does not see one as greater than another. There is wisdom in that because the truth is we are all his creation, in need of him and fallen in sin.
The fact that some are healthier than others is not a result of God's choosing, rather a result of our rebeliion away from him into sin. When we chose sin and it enetered the world many things changed. Things like pain, death, harmful acts, and broken bodies came with it. We caused these problems of man, not God.
And it is true, God loooks on the heart, not the body. God still loves us more than we can imagine in our sin and weakness.

I don't think anyone is equal to anyone before God, except for the love God has toward men(and women),

God does not look on the outward appearance, only the inward, where everyone is created equal and given the equal chance to accept Jesus

In islam..everyone is deemed equal. The only thing that differentiate them in the eyes of God is their faith and ways to worship Him. A man that prays and serve His God faithfully will of course be looked upon higher than another who slacken in his prayers and often forget Him in his time of difficulties.
The physical diversity in humans (weak, strong, old, young) are just one of many ways God test his worshippers...A person who is old and sick, yet perform his prayers the best way he can (he can lie down on his bed) and then be a good person to ppl around him will of course be looked upon better than a young and rich young man who often forget Him and is mean to others.
So u see, the physical difference among all of us is something we make the best of it and is not the grounds on which God determine who is best in his eyes.

Yes, all are equal. The equality isn't a physical, mental, rich, poor, tall, short sort of thing. It is a soul, spirit, sin/forgiveness thing. As far as equality goes, God looks at the heart, the inner person, and not health, wealth, etc..

There is no god. How you exit this world is how you go. Weak, strong, etc. doesn't matter. Make the most of what you've got and live the way you want. That is all that matters.
