God's Unequal Judgment

 How does God judge sin?  Does God judge everyone equally, or are certain groups of people righteously discriminated?  The other day I was Tweeting about how God doesn't judge a soldier, and a murderer in the same way.  This has tended to rub left leaning people wrong.  Lets look at some scripture, and concepts in philosophy or theology, and work to shed some light on some things. 

Views on Society -

Atomism - A belief that society is made up of a collection of self-interested and largely self-sufficient individuals, or atoms, rather than social groups.

Organicism - A belief that society operates like an organism or living entity, the whole being more than a collection of its individual parts.

In an Atomistic society, everyone is an individual, an atom unto themselves.  This suggests equality.  Atomism came out of the Enlightenment and Reformation.  Organicism would be the Traditional Christian belief.  The Body of Christ is a society.  Some are the feet, some the hands, some the eyes, some the mouth.  (Ephesians 4:11)  We all have a function in the Body.  Different people in different functions, they may need to be treated, or judged, not equally to everyone else, but equitably. 

In The Bible, where can we find examples of Unequal Judgement?  

• In 1 Corinthians 11:3, Christ is the head of man.  Man is the head of woman.  We have a hierarchy of authority.  This is unequal.  
• In Isaiah 3:10-26 and Isaiah 4, we have God's judgement on Israel's women.  This judgement is not equal to how men are judged.  
• God judges the false teachers more harshly.  (Matthew 18:6)(James 3:1)  
• Throughout the Bible, we have themes of Righteousness and Wickedness.  These are not equal.  
• A priest is a shepherd.  He has a flock.  Given a Priest, the leader, the teacher, given he was doing wrong, he may face a harder punishment.

In an Organic Society, we may have people who are not equal, and need to be treated equitably.  Equitable punishment for a false prophet like Muhammad, putting generations of men into darkness, may have been to be at the bottom of hell like in Dante's Divine Comedy?  Someone who believed society was Atomistic, they may have needed to believe in an equality.  Being righteous is hard.  Someone who righteous may have overcome trials.  That is glorious.  Did someone become jealous of the glory and accolades a warrior, for example, may have won on  battlefield?  Some people have needed to believe in equality, and they worked to make everyone equal, as in equally wicked.  

God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  In a Democratic Republic, a lot of people may have been thinking in Atomism and Equality.  A King was not equal.  There is a difference between interpersonal sin, where someone is in a society, and they are lying and cheating and murdering......and the Foreign Policy of Kings which may have involved skulduggery and warfare.  Christians are to obedient to lawful authority.  (Romans 13)  Given a King or a President created a draft and drafted people into the military, it would not be wrong to kill or engage in espionage.  Rebelling against a draft from someone rightful head of State, that may have been a sin, and an act of rebellion against God. 

Given someone was just reading Torah, a Hebrew may be able to charge high interest on a loan to a gentile.  (Deuteronomy 23:20-21)  In Christianity, prior to the Reformation, there was Christendom.  Any type of Usury in Christendom was a sin.  We would all be brothers in Christ.  The Jews became the money lenders of Europe.  As the Reformation progressed, Christendom was weakened, and there was a lot of hate between Protestants and Catholics. A lot of evil took place.  Given someone is reading Torah, there are a lot of interesting understanding similar to this.  A Muslim would be under The Law.  A Muslim is not equal to a Christian.  In Kingdom of God, someone is Christian or other. 

There are very different value structured in Atomism and Equality and Secular Humanism from what the Bible teaches.
