I was reading the book of Nahum and it was speaking about Nineveh. Is the book of Nahum foretelling the destruction of Nineveh, for which the people of Nineveh averted by repenting of their sins, or is Nahum talking about an event that happened after Jonah's time?

### Why am I here In Swedish Lutheran church today (which I belong to), it seems to be "obvious" that *All humans are worth equal*. I'm not questioning the statement itself, I am just interested in the origins of it - when did the Church started to state this? ### What does the UN say? The [United Nations universal declarations of human rights](http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/#atop) state: > All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. This sounds like "all humans are worth equal" to me. ### What does the bible say? Genesis 1:27 > So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Nahum 1:14 > The Lord has given commandment about you: “No more shall your name be perpetuated; from the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the metal image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.” I haven't been able to find any place in the bible where it says that All humans are worth equal. Being created in the image of God does not automatically lead to *All* humans being worth *equal*. The text from Nahum more seems to say the contrary (there are some other texts just like it). ### Question I have heard "All humans are worth equal" being spoken about as a *Christian idea*. I'm not interested in the origin itself of the concept of all Humans being worth equal, I want to know **When was this idea incorporated into Christianity?**
