Equal: Having the same quantity, measure, or value as another.

Our Creators manifesting diversity with his creative force shows lack of being equal. If all life were equal then men and women would look alike in accordance to their gender. Varying species of animals and plants would have the same characteristics within their specific classification.

Equality: the state or quality of being equal; correspondence in quantity, degree, value, rank, or ability.

If one man can cut down ten trees in a day due to his strength. And a smaller man can only cut down five trees in a day due to his size. Then should the first man feel guilty that he makes more money than the smaller man? Our Creator gave him a larger frame so he is the benefactor of that gift. The scriptures teach that those who have been bestowed gifts and talents should use these qualities given to them to be a blessing to others.

Luke 12:48 (KJV) But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

When the Declaration of Independence use the verbiage: that all men are created equal, you need to realize that this is pertaining to their natural rights given by our Creator. All men are created equal in accordance that each have inalienable rights, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Natural rights and legal rights; or government approved rights, are not the same. Your usage of equality is being used in the wrong context. Just as our media and educational institutions teach the masses that the US is a democracy which is a misnomer. Democracy is a enemy to natural rights when 51% can take away the rights of 49%. A republic has charter or constitution which limits power of the majority in regards to everyone's individual's rights. In a democracy the majority rules. Individuals rights of the minority are diminished by the will of the majority.

You're arguing semantics trying to obscure the true intent of equality and equity. Yes, we do have natural rights given by our Creator. But the diversity of nature itself teaches us that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Our creator understands the uniqueness of qualities given to each of us. Those who are born again; and are led by the Holyghost, will be judged according to the gifts given to them.

1 Peter 4:17 (KJV) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
