God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28
Dios creó al hombre a imagen Suya, a imagen de Dios lo creó; varón y hembra los creó. Dios los bendijo y les dijo: “Sean fecundos y multiplíquense. Llenen la tierra y sométanla. Ejerzan dominio sobre los peces del mar, sobre las aves del cielo y sobre todo ser viviente que se mueve sobre la tierra”. Génesis 1:27-28
In this reading I hear that we are all created equal because God created us in His image. We should not establish any difference just because we came from a different country, because we were all “foreigners in the land of Egypt”.
Many times we were abused, physically, verbally and psychologically. They “labeled” us just because we came from a different country, without considering that is the least important thing because we are the same as other people.
We also need to comply with our obligations. We have rights and needs to be met, and families to support.
