Bible Question: There is some verse somewhere in the bible stating to beat your child with a rod. Should people actually beat with a rod or ruler or stick. I would never but know of some people who do based on this bible verse. please let me know. |
Bible Answer: Something to consider when disciplining your child is to pray WITH him/her (if they are old enough) about the wrong deed and tell them way its wrong by backing it up with scripture and after disciplining the child tell him/her you still love them and that it is the DEED and NOT the PERSON that you/God dislike. |
