There's this powerful line from Philip Schaff, the church historian.
He says, how should we labor with any effect to build up the church if we have no thorough knowledge of its history or fail to apprehend it from the proper point
of observation.
History is and must ever continue to be, next to the word of God, the richest foundation of wisdom and the surest guide to all successful practical activity.
Churchill said, the greatest advances in human civilization have come when we recovered what we had lost.
when we learned the lessons of history.
Of course, we know the lines that those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
And that's become we've just said that so often we forget exactly how true that is, that during ancient Rome, they were having accidental incest because of all these babies that were abandoned on infanticide walls.
And then and then pimps would would, quote unquote, rescue the babies to get a sex slave to raise it in a brothel.
So then the brother or the dad of the infant that they abandoned would go visit a brothel
to go get their pleasure, and they would accidentally have sex with their daughter or their sister.
They were throwing babies on walls.
To be a young boy in ancient Rome meant to be sexually abused by older men.
Oh, by the way, oh, what do we have today in the 21st century, Ali?
Oh, accidental incest.
That's right.
Multiple headlines of someone who went on a date or they started having sexual relations with someone.
They found out it was a half sibling because, quote unquote, sperm donors, which doesn't really exist.
You're always paid for your gammies are creating 10, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 biological children.
And then siblings are accidentally having sex.
