Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊😊😊

      @@Im.definitely.not.cool- Before the Industrial Revolution - when men, women and even children flocked to the factories to make a living - it was far more common for workers to travel from job to job. Rather than joining a team, tradesmen, craftsmen and labourers would move around on their own, carrying their own tools and supplies, and find work where they could get it.
      The easiest way to lug their tools around was in a sack, which they would then leave with their employer for safe keeping. The origin of the phrase, therefore, starts to become clear. With no job security, contracts or trade unions, workers could be discharged at a moment’s notice. Once their services were no longer required, they were literally given their sack, before being ordered to pack it up and leave.

She hated He romans and specifically Romulus the founder and king of Rome. So she betrayed them and collaborated with the city of which her father tarpeius was king and there was a battle. The romans won it and Romulus found out about her betrayal and threw her off a cliff. This is why its called the Tarpeian rock

Unfortunately there was not a presumption of innocence among the lower classes and/or during much of the timeline of the empire. Today people want to return to that same barbaric timeline, and get upset when cops aren’t given more power, or when courts are bent towards defendants, or when states get rid of cash bail.

      Because back then punishment was misplaced.
      What happens when slave (worse than life sentence) commits an evil act? How can you punish them? Because the prospect of life sentence back then was better than lives of the vast majority of people….
      So, these barbaric punishments were designed not to enforce some morals, but rather to act as deterrence for the slaves to act out.
      Likewise, in medical times, witch hunts were invented to avoid consequences when raping somebody.
      A wealthy guy hits on a girl. The girl has no choice, and either has to be raped, or else the guy proclaims her to be a witch and she just… dies.
      Most of these punishments don’t exist because of some misplaced notion of morality - they exist at the very absence of it.
      Back then people could not care less about morality (at worst it was a mere afterthought and at best it was “following god’s will”), and would do anything to achieve their goals (easy workforce due to slaves, easy concubines due to inferior women).
      In modernity, when society exists in a semblance of order, morality has a much greater weight. It is not absolute, and atrocities or unjust laws still happen, but statistically less frequently).
      So, the lesson is that during the underdeveloped times, the focus was on coerced control and value they could obtain as a result of such control…. Not on some intrinsic value of human life. Humans back then were essentially objects/tools.

In turn, Tarpeia would receive whatever the soldiers were wearing on their left arm, expecting to get expensive jewelleries and the like. Instead, the soldiers threw all their shields on top of her and crushed her to death, after which her body was thrown off the hill they were standing on. This place became the Tarpeian rock where all traitors would be executed.

Instead, they threw their shields upon her and crushed her, before throwing her body off of that cliff, which was from then on known as the Tarpeian rock, and used to execute those convicted of treason.
