Guess what John Lelend, are you on of those quiverfull types?
ewwwwwww
Kids actually need love and patience a whole lot more than spankings. You sound like a crappy parent. Oh and no you don’t “do it in anger” you do it in cold deliberation? I don’t like you
I don’t want my kids to be afraid of me. You sound like a monster.
Then perhaps you should let your husband administer corporal punishment, if you even have one.
Evidently, we didn't frighten our children too badly by obeying the Scriptures, as the five who have now grown and left our home have all gone, by conviction and calling, into full-time Christian service. College-trained without debt. They all understand and appreciate the work ethic. Two are still at home, and the sixth is looking at marrying a minister.
Yes, a monster, I am, who raised children to understand both Biblical law, grace, and Constitutional patriotism, without giving up their rolls as God-given.
All home-schooled, nurtured, trained, and disciplined, by the grace of God.
You have stated that children need love and patience. Yes, and deliberate, personal attention, and training . . . discipline is more than spanking.
AND when the rod is necessary, no parents should have to "look over their shoulders" and wonder how many professing conservatives have bitten off and swallowed the leftists' course, and would side with state agencies just because they have gotten some idea that Biblicist Christian parents use re-enforcement rod, ball bats, lead pipes, or 2X4s as "the rod."
Many so-called conservatives today, who claim that they believe in limited government would be gleeful to see a policeman standing behind a leftist-type social worker, taking children from Christian families, and putting them in foster care (now-a-days it could be with a pair of sodomites), because they heard a child crying, or heard through the neighborhood grape-vine that the rod had been administered on a child when it was necessary.
It is necessary on children from-time-to-time.
Ministers who preach the whole counsel of God are, according to their calling, duty-bound to teach the subject of child-rearing, with the inclusion of when and how to administer the rod. We have taken churches through courses in these things in four countries. We imagine that the U.N.O. Treaty on the Rights of the Child will be supported by many so-called conservatives in the USA, who will also support the closing down of churches and detention of pastors who teach the Bible in these regards.
