Today's Bible lesson

We know today that beating your child is physical abuse. The Bible is incorrect in telling you to beat your child. Do any of you Christians beat your child with a rod?

Prov 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him often."

Prov 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."

Prov 23:13-14: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell ."

I don’t think it’s incorrect.

It’s about discipline right? When people are disciplined our hearts are broken. Which produces tears if done effectively.

So how do you discipline a 1-2 year old that doesn’t understand you talking to them about not doing something?

@James25 oh ok. lol 😆 I was ready.

@James25 we as humans grow from being put under stress.

I would rather make my child fear getting popped from climbing on the kitchen table then falling off it and hurting herself over and over with possibilities of maybe hurting herself worse than my pop.

@Diotrephes I wonder if they've experienced any Christian influence

@James25 Maybe it was them that influenced the Bible with that idea.

James25 · 61-69, M

@Diotrephes yes that is also possible. The Bible is written from more ancient cultures. Or should I say copied
