RE: Disciplining Children -- Questioning the Norm!
It would be interesting to know what verse it is. I have heard many spare the rod ... excuses over my lifetime. I cannot pretend to know the bible, so am not about to debate the meanings and justifications as presented therein. I just go with my heart and feel strongly that honoring their divinity is the only honorable thing to do, no matter what words have been written. May we all tune into their blessing!
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
Let's hope they remember John 8:7
I'm not a christian anymore but somehow I remember a lot of things from the bible.
They call it the doctrine for a reason!
I remember very little from my religion days--gratefully--other than the trauma that set me free. I have heard there are several verses that suggest things likes the Deuteronomy verse. I give no heed to those words. Religion is a means to control the people, inciting hatred and wars, while preaching love and the word of "God". When we all come to know a true loving god, then we will remember unconditional love...religion will be a thing of the past, and there will be hope for the reunion of mankind.
Thanks for the input @wordsword. I appreciate the exchange!
