Bible Note: 'He said to the judges, "Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD who is with you when you render judgment. Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe."' --2 Chronicles 19:6-7 "For there is no partiality with God. For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified." --Romans 2:11-13 "With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free. And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him." --Ephesians 6:7-9 "For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality." --Colossians 3:25 'Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him."' --Acts 10:34-35 Every last one of the passages you gave speaks about lack of partiality regarding the justice of God. Nothing at all about giving everyone the same station in life, the same state of health, the same opportunities, etc. When the KJV speaks of God not being a respecter of persons, it ALWAYS has to do with God punishing the guilty and rewarding the righteous. It never has anything to do with causing and/or allowing healing and sickness. --Joe! |
