On Christian arguments for spanking
In considering corporal punishment of children, and in particular in
considering spanking of children, an issue that often comes up is the religious basis for it. Frequently, certain verses from Proverbs are used to justify spanking. But what would Jesus have said about spanking, or any means of inflicting pain on children? Recent discussions in this group have touched on this question. My wife and I think the answer's pretty clear, and we've recently put our thoughts on the Web, at http://parentinginjesusfootsteps.org Please come by and check it out. We also have an online petition opposing corporal punishment of children, at http://parentinginjesusfootsteps.org/petition.html -- Steve Lawrence (If you want to contact me directly, just use the email address in the message header, but insert "foobox" in place of "no-spam".

Perhaps you should come by our site, and perhaps you should rethink some things. On the plus side, I can't fault your interpretation of Jesus on divorce.

On Christian arguments for spanking
Thee did miss something from my web site:
This: "We are against abuse and believe that anyone who harms a child would have been better never to be born (Mat.18:6)." Didn't thee see the above????? Also my study on the New Testament is sent to this newsgroup. I am very happy we agree on divorce. God Bless! ? "sal" ?????? ??? ?????? ...

rod in pro-pro
Hits 1-9 of 9 Pr 10:13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks judgment. Pr 13:24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. Pr 14:3 A fool's talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them. Pr 22:8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. Pr 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him. Pr 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod , he will not die. Pr 23:14 Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death. Pr 26:3 A whip for the horse, a halter for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools! Pr 29:15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother. ------------ Posted with Newsforce for Windows CE Vote Bush for President in 2004!

On Christian arguments for spanking
These are wonderful websites. Jesus never advocated spanking or
inflicting pain and humiliation on children. I also think the answer's pretty clear. Proverbs is often used to justify spanking, but individuals who use Proverbs for justification rarely apply or even advocate the rest of the OT for application to their personal life.
