We can veer off into another error here, the worship of (a different kind of) abuse. As C. S. Lewis pointed out, the devil sends errors into the world in pairs. Avoiding one exclusively sends people careening into the other.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t the devil that sent spanking into the world to correct children. And I don’t think it’s worship to acknowledge when something worked - I know my backside got worn out when I deserved it. And it worked.
hardly. if you have ever used corporal punishment on your kids or someone you love, you totally hate having to do it. if you liked it then yes you have a problem.
