Back Court Systems Need Existing Truth Technology Now by Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Sydney) Court Systems Need Existing Truth Technology Now by Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Sydney) Our civilization as we know it is based upon laws. Laws that protect the innocent and punish the guilty. In the Bible there are two kinds of ministers. The ministers of the gospel that preach God's word to all that would hear it, and the ministers of justice that enforce the laws that God has created. In our modern world these ministers of justice are the judges, laywers and law enforcement personnel of our court system. These officers of the court spend many years of study in their chosen professions. They sacrifice money, homes and family lives to protect you and me. The majority of these men and women are unknown and unrecognized for their contribution to our society. You and I could not go to work every day and see the human race at their worst. You and I could not patrol dark places alone, the only protection a piece of body armor. You may have always wondered how these people can do their job day after day, year after year. High stress, broken families, little pay, injury and death. The Bible says that these select individuals were personally chosen by God Himself to serve and protect us. So now you know. We owe much to these ministers of justice. However our court systems have a major problem - they are based on 16th Century technology and 16th Century society. The system was based on the assumption that people would tell the truth when they swore on the bible. In those days, swearing on the bible meant something. As we all know, this is not how it is today. So, we need a new SYSTEM in the courts to help us to know what is the truth. These ministers of justice need the necessary tools to perform their job. Technology now exists which can increase our chances of knowing if someone is telling the truth or not. It is time we use and develop these technologies.
