D&C 38
To the early saints, the Savior declared -
" I am the same which spake, and the world was made, and all things came by me." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 38:3)
With the fall of Adam, also came opposition in all things. With that the Lord said -
"...for your salvation I give unto you a commandment, for I have heard your prayers, and the poor have complained before me, and the rich have I made, and all flesh is mine, and I am no respecter of persons." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 38:16)
In my mind, suggesting that the Lord made rich and poor but is still no respecter of persons would also suggest that he created a world with, again, opposition in all things. That is He never intended it to be fair. But with that He also said -
"...now I tell it unto you, and ye are blessed, not because of your iniquity, neither your hearts of unbelief; for verily some of you are guilty before me, but I will be merciful unto your weakness." (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 38:14)
In my mind, He is also suggesting that in the end He will make it fair as He will be merciful in those that have been given greater weaknesses or I would suggest challenges than others. Which means to me that everyone at some point will be given opportunities to repent in all fairness.
