RE: Disciplining Children -- Questioning the Norm!
Thank you for your comment I was reading through the other comments and there you have the spare the rod...... thing again. I read you wanted to write another post about that.
Well there is another verse in the bible that gives them a fantastic justification for chastising and killing their children. I had written a bit about it in this comment but I removed it.
Because I get really sick to my stumac about it. And sad, angry and cynical in what I wright.
Maybe you can handle it in a more calm way.
Do you know or want to know which verse it is?
Edit ; I read you comment again and see you wanted to mention it in this post...not write another post about it , sorry for the misunderstanding.
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!
