1 | in Revelations."You should beat your chi | Rev 2:23 | Charlotte34 | 138020 | ||
I have a serious problem that I need answers for. My grand-daughter is far too hard on her children. she doesn't spank on the bottom, she hits on the legs, arms, bottom or whatever. When I told her this was unreasonable, she told me it says in Revelations you should "Beat your child" I fine it very hard to believe she is interpreting this right. Can you point me to verses in Revelation that speaks of beating children? She has gone away from the family's religion, which is Lutheran, and joined a rather radical group, that advises her to stop her medications,and to instead pray to God to help her handle her rages. she is Bi-Polar, and has been off her medications for some time. It is showing. She flies into rages at the drop of a hat. Her husband sits by and doesn't try to help her.He says he can't interfere with her beliefs. I fear for the safety of my great-grandchildren. Can some of you help me please. I an not as versed in the bible as I maybe should be, but I try to live by god's teachings and I believe understanding is the best way to handle a 3 year old that says a bad word, that he surely MUST have heard from his mother. She possesses a goodly store of them. I cannot sit by while these children are being abused. I am thinking if I can point to the verses she isreferring to, I can make her see they do not mean it the way her pastor (not an ordained minister) has told her. Thank you for any help you can give me. Charlotte |

2 | in Revelations."You should beat your chi | Rev 2:23 | JCrichton | 138023 | ||
Hi, Charlotte! Revelation does not speak on correction of children... There is a passage in Proverbs that speaks on duly correcting children or allowing them to become spoiled brats: He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. (Proverbs 13:24) This, of course, does not give Christians license to beat their children! What you have described is a very dangerous situation... your daughter's condition can be explosive, unpredictable, and hazardous to your grandchildren... Aside from praying about it, I suggest that you contact your daughter's previous doctor, get at much information about her condition, if she continues to refuse treatment, and speak to her husband with the assistance of a third party and the information gathered from her doctor... perhaps you and your son-in-law could come to an agreement and even visit with your daughter's present "pastor" to make him aware of the particular situation in which your grandchildren are found... he may be intelligent enough to intervene on the children's behalf and convince your daughter to continue her medication... You may want to study and share with your daughter two passages that deal with the parents' responsibility and form of correction: Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21. God Bless! Angel |
