Winthrop made one good point

John Winthrop stated that God created diferent people to be in different levels of society. Truth is God did not create people to be in different levels of society. God created all men in his image, all men equal. God would not have created us in his image had he wanted there to be levels of society. Truth is, God created each person as an individual. With that it mind, each person is going to need each other. Not every person is going to be able to do everything, people will still have to rely on each other and I believe that this is the only point that John Winthrop captured. Winthrop, I am sure, had many reasonsfor writing what he did, but I believe that it was all a misinterpretation. Society has levels of society, yes, but not because it is to avoid conformity and to truly manifest his work. God created each person as an individual and ultimately the goal was to work through that person as a way to manifest his work, not by the social level they are in but through the individual.
