There was once a man who had walked with Jesus .
This man once made a big ado about the poor .
He said why was the ointment wasted , for it could have been sold and given unto the poor .
BUT and this is one big BUT , BUT He said this NOT CAUSE HE CARED ONE OUNCE for the POOR
but because HIMS HELD THAT BAG wherein all that was kept . HE STOLE FROM IT . HE was covetous .
SO marvel not when i say this REDIST of wealth these rich elites are pedaling down upon the masses ,
Saying we could have us a new society and a new world where all are taken care of ,
BUT this they say , NOT cause they care for the poor or the people of the world , BUT CAUSE IN THIS NEW SYSTEM
THEY GONNA HOLD THE BAG OF MONEY . AND LINE THEY POCKETS TOO . This whole redist of wealth
taught today , as well as critical race theory , as well as other things are all a snare unto the soul .
Its a trap to create a one world DIGITILZED system , wherein , ... you guessed it , THEY CONTROL IT ALL .
"The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one." Psalm 14:2-3
"... there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments" Matt 19:17

Please elaborate because i don't see your point or correlation.
"Wickedness" has no bearing on poverty ( or vice versa) and "wealth" is not evil or a sin and humans are not equal ( except in importance to God for the purpose of Salvation and even then God had favorites and those he hated) nor is there any requirement or goal to be or achieve "equality" ( whatever that is)

Men are wicked because the world's wealth is not equally divided?
People are born equal...but they do not all make the same choices.
Wealth is not measured in Money.
Wealth is measured in Choosing the Lord God to be your God, and becoming converted.
The world will always have Poor....IN spirit.

Equality is of the Devil. If we were wicked there would not be 8 billion people on Earth.
God chose a special people to be saved and holy. His rich mercies and Grace ARE NOT divided equally!
Politicians are certainly experts at lining their pockets with hard earned taxpayer $$$. And then they give BILLIONS to other countries that HATE us when we have many poor good people here. They don't care about us!
1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV)
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
That's right but make sure you...
1- Read it for what it says (not what you interpret it as)
2- Don't add to it what it doesn't say.
The word evil and its root (Kakoz) means "bad or injurious". Evil is not synonymous with "sin" or Satan as even God Himself "repented of "evil" he was going to bring.
wickedness, OTOH, is a deliberate act of various depravity
The point relative to the thread is that "wealth" in and of itself is not wrong, a sin or even a catalyst. (even in your quote- its the "love" not the money thats the root). Remember, God blessed many with various wealth, war booty and even Abraham and Solomon were some of the 'wealthiest" men on Earth in their respective days.
Make sure you always check context and application as that particular scripture is one of the most improperly used in all of scripture.
Q) How wicked are we?
'And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
.. and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
.... And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth,
...... and it grieved Him at His heart.
........ And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth;
(Gen 6:5)
'For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
.. against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
.... who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
...... Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
........ for God hath shewed it unto them.
.......... For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
............ being understood by the things that are made,
.............. even His eternal power and Godhead;
................ so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God,
.. they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful;
.... but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
...... Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
........ And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,
.......... and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,
.. to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
.... Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
...... and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator,
........ who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
.. for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
.... likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another;
...... men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
.. God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
.... Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;
...... full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
........ Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
.......... Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
............ Who knowing the judgment of God,
.............. that they which commit such things are worthy of death,
................ not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.'

"People are born equal..."
So people in Communist China are born equal to Americans? What about Haitians? Worst poverty in the Western Hemisphere! It's getting difficult to take you serious about anything.
To be fair, they in fact are "born equal" in many ways but that begs a qualification so what definition or other criteria are you assigning so that individual equality at birth can be measured against?
You can't be serious! Some are born in a dump and some is a castle. Some are born with no food for their family. Some are born with family feasting!
And your point is? Jesus was born in a manger.
Again, what definition of equal are you using to compare them against.
