Re: Corporal punishment for children - Right or wrong?

Its right, the bible clearly says so and if you're a non believer then go read it. I have 2 boys, they are beaten every night before bed. Its called discipline and it makes them better behaved, because of it they find it hard to sit down most of the time but it just encourages them not to be lazy, its a good thing and its not going to kill them. It will turn them into better people when they are older.

Re: Corporal punishment for children - Right or wrong?

I have 2 boys aged 9 and 11 but i have a weak husband who leaves it to me to administer the rod.
I feel it should be a mans job to do this.

Too weak to discipline children? Sounds like he suffer from severe lead deficiency. Lead is a vital nutrient for the male body. I suggest that you apply plenty of lead when you prepare his food. Lead supplements might be difficult to find in some areas, but file down a bullet in soup will work.

Anyways, both parents should be used to administer the rod. A swift punishment is always better than a delayed, and what if only the wife is it home when the husband is at work. I do support beatings in public before waiting until you get home for the same reason.

My husband Mike often has to go away on business trips. If I weren't able to wield the rod, my children would grow up totally undisciplined.

Re: Corporal punishment for children - Right or wrong?

I will keep this short and open to debate . . .

Stop right there son. There is no debating the Holy Bible. The Bibles word is LAW, and we follow that law.

Proverbs 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."

Proverbs 23:14 "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell"

No debate here friend. If you hate your son you won't beat him, and he will burn in hell, because you are a sissy of a father. If you love your son you will beat him, and deliver him from hell.

Re: Corporal punishment for children - Right or wrong?

If you ask my opinion, corporal punishment on children should be a felony. No human being has a right to beat a child -- ever. It's simply an antiquated relic from primitive times and it does not teach the child anything. The other day I was down at the welfare office to see my friend who works there, Keishawn, and there was a woman with three kids, one of them a screaming child. He is going around the room, kicking people in the legs, just having fun. She started to scold him but to no avail. People were starting to get angry and looked at the mother like "Well, aren't you going to do something?". Sure enough, she caught the tyke and gave a firm slap across the boy's buttocks. He immediately stopped crying and running around.

At that point I whipped out my iPhone and called 911. I reported that a woman was beating a child senselessly in public. Cops came down quite quickly (amazing!) and arrested the woman. I am glad I did my part as a model citizen and put that monster behind bars where she belongs!

Another one of Obamas soldiers imprisoning a good Christian parent for doing nothing more than discipling their child like the Bible says we should.
