Well, of course the Romans were more advanced than progressives.
With the exception of some certain unnamed middle east cultures, every culture is.
Progressives are proof that evolution is not always in a good direction.
To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. (Acts 25:16)
He condemned the modern versions as "dithering" with the King's English. (This may not be a verbatim quote. But I am pretty sure he used the verb 'dither'.)
To which I will add the reported demand that the accuser would not be under oath when she testified nor would Kavanaugh's attorney be allowed to cross-exam the witness.
If true, it says a lot about an attorney who, on behalf of her client, would encourage the government to act in such a way. It sounds very much like Russia's legal system of several decades beginning in the 1920's.
Perhaps a preview of our future if we continue to lean to the left in our schools and our culture.
I like what Mark said last night on Tucker in response to Gillibrand’s absurd comment that Kavanaugh must be guilty because he’s not asking the FBI to investigate the allegations against him - “Well I think that Gillibrand is the one who broke into my car in 1998 and stole my radio - she’s not asking the FBI to investigate so she must be guilty”.......
The Biblical standard for eye-witness testimony is two or three agreeing together about the same incident which they all witnessed.
2 Corinthians 13:1b
By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.
Deuteronomy 19:15
One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
In this case the current matter is already settled other than the testimonies so far were not under oath. All of the other testimonies contradict the accuser.
The left demands we believe an accuser with no clear recollection, no physical evidence of any kind, and ALL of the people she says were witnesses contradict her testimony.
