Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children. Those who love their children care enough to discipline them. ~Proverbs 13:24

Smack?

Good quote from Proverbs.
Brings up a question though: What exactly does this Francis fellow do anyway - I mean besides tell us what the Bible has already told us?
After all, we have to check everything he says against the Scriptures. And Catholics are always defending him by pointing to the Scriptures.
Seems like a redundant position that could be eliminated - at considerable cost savings, I’d imagine.

I think that some of our problems in schools are due to school personnel not being allowed to use corporal punishment anymore.
These kids know that it’s against the law for anyone to physically touch them. Which probably leads these kids to think that they can get away with more and more, without consequences.
It’s getting to the point where we won’t be able to physically discipline our own kids.

I agree with what he said but we get a quote a day from this Pope, usually about day to day stuff that we really don’t need his opinion on. He needs to keep quite every once in a while.

When I give mine "a little pop to the backside" she laughs at me!

He’s basically the Cardinal Archbishop of Rome, but tradition makes him superior to all other bishops.

So what did he do, read Proverbs 13:24 last night before bedtime and decide to tell everyone about it today?
I mean, you did as good a job of presenting God’s truth as Francis did. Even better, actually.

Haha!
But not everyone is impressed by outward appearances. After all, it’s the message we want to hear, right? Not the messenger.

I never smacked our children for bad behavior. But sometimes, I had to smack them to get their attention so we could discuss it.

Your little one needs a little harder pop!
To: LearsFool
You seem to forget that Christ Himself didn’t find the position “redundant.” You protestants DO believe in popes. as long as it is you who is the pope! God is not the author of confusion, so obviously the same message isn’t getting to everyone.

Just read that the Pope will speak to Congress in September. I hope the Dems have a conniption fit.
