Bible Question: All over Minnesota Christian radio, people are arguing about whether or not "spanking" your kids is ok or not. I've never seen anything in the bible for or against it. Is there a verse explaining that? |
Bible Answer: The Bible doesn't say "spoil" the child The Bible clearly instructs us regarding spanking. But nowhere does the Bible say spare the rod and spoil the child. What it does say is: Proverbs 13:24 Holy Bible, English Standard Version Whoever spares the rod HATES his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him. (Emphasis added.) The Amplified Bible He who spares his rod [of discipline] HATES his son, but he who loves him disciplines diligently and punishes him early. (Emphasis added.) The Bible says HATES his son. HATES, not SPOILS. |
