The pieces of the Bible narrative that William Abbott cites to support the conclusion that "equality is satanic" do not seem at all related to the issues discussed in this column. When it comes to the principle of treating people of various backgrounds and ethnic groups in fair and just manner, that kind of equality is clearly a part of Adventist theology. The denomination is on record supporting it because of the clear Bible teachings in Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 15 (as clearly described by Ellen White in Patriarchs & Prophets) and summarized in Galatians 3:28. "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." Social equality is a sign of the Kingdom of Christ and the remnant of Revelation 13 and 14 is repeatedly identified as coming from "every nation and tribe and language and people group." It is clearly unbiblical to argue (as some Christians do today) against social equality.
