When we compare human standards of fairness (such as children's complaints, DEI policy, corporate and government regulations in the Western world) with God's standards of fairness we see human standards reveal a drive for schemes towards similar equal outcomes. They often use linguistic manipulation to alter, and pervert established meanings like "equity" which meant something different in the origins of the United States to the modern DEI definition. The Godly linguistic metamorphosis on definitions clarifies existing words and deepens understandings while Satan's world constantly twists and confuses meanings. We see that God creates different people and other entities with varying strengths and weaknesses, all in unequal amounts. Numbers 16 illustrates these twisted concepts with the attempted overthrow of Moses by elders thinking he had been given too much authority or responsibility. Satan's desire to be equal to God caused many attempted overthrows of God's established authority. This is one of the most harshly judged sins. While modern equity is shown in a negative light, God still expects his called-out ones to show impartiality and fairness in judgement when representing Him. God's distinction of fairness and equality needs to be ingrained in all members so they can glorify God.
