Whether the inequality of things is from God?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the inequality of things is not from God. For it belongs to the best to produce the best. But among things that are best, one is not greater than another. Therefore, it belongs to God, Who is the Best, to make all things equal.
❌ Objection 2 : Further, equality is the effect of unity (Metaph. v, text 20). But God is one. Therefore, He has made all things equal.
❌ Objection 3 : Further, it is the part of justice to give unequal to unequal things. But God is just in all His works. Since, therefore, no inequality of things is presupposed to the operation whereby He gives being to things, it seems that He has made all things equal.
