within scripture is shown by the progression from Gen.4:23-24 (unlimited
vengeance) to Ex.21:23-24
(defined & limited retribution) to Mt.5:38-39 (non-resistance)."
Do you extend that claim (which looks OK) to also claim that humanity as a
whole is making ethical advancement? In light of the events of the 20th
century, I have some difficulty with that claim, even as I want it to be
true.
