All men are judged “equal” only in the sense that no matter what one's position or status is, we will be judged by our compliance with the Spirit Within or the Will to Godhood.
Envy is still a vice in the Evolutionary Christian Church (ECC) and demanding equality of condition is not only an envious vice, it is a fall from grace, a devolutionary and profane direction of behavior.
But socially, “equal justice under law” applies to the high and the low, which helps keep the peace, and this is an old Western position we can affirm.
Envious egalitarianism is dangerous and often used by political leaders to pull down the successful and get votes from the unsuccessful.
The central virtue of the Evolutionary Outward Path, which is evolution, should strengthen the cause for defining justice not as equality of all, but defining inequality as Aristotle did when he said that it is unjust to treat unequal things equally.
The Christian virtues of the Involutionary Inward Path still apply, that is, faith, hope and charity (plus the classical virtues of courage, justice, prudence and temperance) which give much grace to the evolutionary virtues of the Outward Path.
What we want is the balance of Ordered Evolution, where the Inward Virtues mainly deal with Order and the Outward Virtues mainly deal with Evolution.
