Talk about justice in the world. Laws were already created way before Jesus was born. To consultants and QSs, let me share some construction law that was made in 2000BC -
With acknowledgements from http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/hamcode.html
Code of Hammurabi, c. 1780 BCE
228. If a builder build a house for some one and complete it, he shall give him a fee of two shekels in money for each sar of surface.229. If a builder build a house for some one, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built fall in and kill its owner, then that builder shall be put to death.
230. If it kill the son of the owner the son of that builder shall be put to death.
231. If it kill a slave of the owner, then he shall pay slave for slave to the owner of the house.
232. If it ruin goods, he shall make compensation for all that has been ruined, and inasmuch as he did not construct properly this house which he built and it fell, he shall re-erect the house from his own means.
233. If a builder build a house for some one, even though he has not yet completed it; if then the walls seem toppling, the builder must make the walls solid from his own means.
148. If a man take a wife, and she be seized by disease, if he then desire to take a second wife he shall not put away his wife, who has been attacked by disease, but he shall keep her in the house which he has built and support her so long as she lives.
He literally believed in an for an eye.
197. If he break another man's bone, his bone shall be broken.
Of course, he did exercise some flexibility.
2. If any one bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser.
And maybe something that applies to some of us in the future...
128. If a man take a woman to wife, but have no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him.
Have sex guys. be Jamaicans. Make love and have kids u never knew you would have. Lawyers of today's century... please reflect upon the laws made today. Construction consultants are lucky to have been born 4000 years later.
