Perhaps we may say that God judges man and humanity in two different ways. An analogy might be an attempt to judge which of two mountain climbers is the more accomplished? A is at a higher point than B. If height is the criterion, he is superior. But it may be that both were skylifted to certain heights by a helicopter, and while A descended, B went further up. From this perspective B’s achievement is more significant. In mathematics we differentiate between the function and the derivative. God judges the objective reality on the basis of the function and man on the basis of the derivative. [1]
