Subject: Spare the rod, spoil the child |
Bible Note: Hello look..., I believe you're referring to Prov. 13:24, "He who withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines him diligently." I think the better question to ask is: Where does scripture prohibit corporal punishment? The responsibility of discipline is clearly given to parents (Prov. 22:6). As a parent, I have used spanking as a final measure of discipline to get my children's attention, to let them know I mean business, and to order their behavior. My children were not abused or mistreated. There is a big distinction between discipline and abuse. Speaking the Truth in Love, Bradk |
