Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

This post has been helpful to me in working out some of the dilemma's in my relationship. I now recognize my husbands actions as CDD when i was wondering what it was. He didnt explain any of his actions to me, they just happened. Reading this makes it easier to accept and understand, and also gives me reassurance that my husband is a true Christian dutifully performing God's work.

It is always my pleasure to help with matters such as these.

Sugarplumb, if your man needs convincing, he is clearly an atheist that has never read the Bible, and most likely a gay sissyboy as well. Real men KNOW when and how to put a woman in her place, and all Real Men are True Christians.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

I grew up in the Baptist religion, yet I was never taught about CDD!

However, this is something I desire. I don't often do things that I need corrected for, but once in awhile - if I have had a bad attitude or snapped at my hubby for something - I feel like a correction would help!

I have asked to be punished, but he just smiles. I'm not sure he realizes how serious I am.

How do I convince my husband to adopt CDD into our marriage without overstepping my bounds?

The Holy Word of God tells us faith comes from hearing the Good News (Romans 10:17). I suggest you start reading the Holy Bible aloud in your home, and on the streets surrounding your home just for good measure (keeps the demons at bay). Read aloud whenever your husband is home. Read the entire Holy Bible, and if necessary, read it again. If he asks what's for dinner, read the passage to which you are attending louder, and he'll soon realize there will be no conversation but between him and the Lord his God. Eventually your husband won't help but to be compelled by the Truth™, and desire nothing more than to turn his heart over to Christ for circumcision (as Christ apparently harbors no more animosity with foreskins now; Romans 2:29).

True. The one thing that stopped me from being a homersexual was when I was handed the bible and started reading it. Immediately I was hooked and now the only man I need in my life is Jesus.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

I would post the argument, but now I have infraction points for being homosexual.I'm not homosexual, but apparently I claimed to be when I say


"I have supplied many bible verses, and you're saying I supplied none?"


So I give up.

If you are giving up after receiving a few little infraction points, it is just as well that The Lord is not counting on you to defend His Righteous Truth to the world.


"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on."


You would let a minor blister stop your march.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

Be careful Sister. God doesn't demand interpretation, but he does demand that we're capable of stringing a few sentences together. Satan crawls with cut-up scraps in his mouth, preaching a love understood in the context of The Princess Bride; God comes with His Book, which defines His Love and indeed answers all.

Christians are literally the children of God; Christian wives are literally the children of their husbands; and children must be chastened with a literal rod. There's no interpretation here. It's spelled out, black and white.

I don't know if you were trying to find your way to that understanding. I expect you to speak to your husband and explain the situation to him.

And I don't want to hear that you waited until he left town and then called him on the telephone.

Thank you for your timely correction. You are, of course, right. In my haste to reassure the heathen than one need not find a specific verse in the Holy Bible that says, "God says you, Thomas, of Dearborn, Michigan, may hit your wife, Karen, when you deem she's being an insufferable nag, you know what I'm talking about" doesn't mean that wives can expect to get away with being insufferable nags to their husbands. Mr. Etheldreda has already been notified of my error thanks to the rapid Prayer Circle and Stumbling Buddy System of Landover Baptist Church. I have been on the phone all afternoon reassuring my sisters in Christ that I have not been taken up by the Feminazi Mind Virus.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

If you think we should follow only the literal words on the page, then you have no idea how a Christian can function in the 21st century.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

And no.
I am not the one ignoring what the bible says.
I have repeatedly asked for a verse to back up what you are claiming, and you have failed to supply one.
On top of that, I have repeatedly given multiple bible verses, yet you accuse me of ignoring it.


You are little more then a hypocrite.

You're little game of playing "gotcha" with the Holy Bible won't work, dear. It's rather immature and has been attempted before by those much more clever and insightful than you. If you think we should follow only the literal words on the page, then you have no idea how a Christian can function in the 21st century. The LORD gave us minds to think and teachers to shape that thinking. We know to avoid things like heroin, jumping in front of trains, and trannys, even though none of these dangers are specifically printed in the Holy Bible. Likewise, we know how to invite friends and family to church and help a lost soul find Christ even though we do not repeat the exact words Peter or Paul used. We can expand our minds to apply the Word of God to our lives today. Why do you have a problem with that?

With regard to disciplining one's wife, the LORD calls the husband to be the head of the household. The head of the household doles out discipline in the same way the parent doles out discipline to the child, in the same way Christ doles out discipline to man. This is for the recipient's own good, for only through discipline can man know peace (Hebrews 12:11).

If you want more information, there are a fair number of conversations that talk about this. I would encourage you to look at our tags. They bring up past conversations that cover the same general topic. For example, you might read some of the threads found in the tag Christian Domestic Discipline. Spanking for good discipline has even more.

Here are but a few conversations to get you started:

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

But He will lay His hand on all unbelievers, punishing them in Hell for eternity.

Verily, Sister! The Bible not only tells us about the actions of Jesus during His brief stay on Earth in the human form, it also tells us about the actions He is going to take upon His Return. In fact, He hinted at these issues during His wonderful Ministry!

Matthew 10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Then, again, as the events during the (soon-to-be; Revelation 22:20) End of Time unravel themselves, Jesus is going to use this Sword in a most efficient manner! Himself! He is personally going to administer some serious Punishment upon the unbelievers.

Revelation 19:21
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.



While it is important to remember how Jesus instructed the sinners on Earth when He visited us for the first time in Flesh, it would be even more important to warn the ever increasing apostatic population of the Great Peril that will descend upon them unless they Fear and Obey God (Ecclesiastes 12:13). They will be slain. By a Sword. The Lamb has the Sword. The Lamb is Jesus. The sinners can only pray that they will be spared these occurrences by having perished previously during the destruction of ecosystem services that Jesus will set into motion before His Second Coming!

Revelation 16:6
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.







Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

1st Corinthians 11:3:

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Romans 8:14:

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Proverbs 13:24:

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Lest, you're a deceiver and a liar, as well as a false prophet.

Jesus Christ told me you were coming. He put me here for you. As God has directed me to His Light, through a path I could not see and would not have taken.

Proverbs 13:18:

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

I have read Job.
If you remember, that was God giving Satan permission to test him.
That was not punishment.
God said so himself.
Reread it again, and then you can try telling me what it means.

It's one of my favorite books of the Holy Bible. As you say, it was not a punishment. God allowed Satan to kill Job's family and to make him sick just for the fun of the bet that God made with Satan.

So here we have God allowing Job to suffer for no apparent reason, just out of boredom. Of course it paid of for Job to keep praising God despite this obvious injustice, as God eventually repaid him for his faithfulness with even better wife and children than the ones he had before.

In comparison, the punishment inflicted by the head of the family is done for a reason: it's done out of love and for correction.

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

Jesus saves you from the ultimate punishment.
Likewise, he didn't beat sinners.
He didn't tell them they were going to hell.
He told them "Go and sin no more"
He forgave them.
He healed them.
He cast out demons.
He told the pharisees, the people TRYING TO PUNISH others, that they were a bunch of wicked hypocrites.

And those who do not accept Him as their Savior, no matter how good lives they lead, are destined to be punished in Hell forever. Even those who dedicated their entire lives to helping others, if they were atheists or believers of other religions, there is no mercy for them but eternal punishment.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

You should be merciful unto your children and your wife.
King James Version
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

You should be loving to your wife.

And the Bible teaches us that harsh beating is merciful - because it helps to save the eternal soul of an individual:

Proverbs 19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness [is] bound in the heart of a child; [but] the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

He died without ever laying a hand on them.

But He will lay His hand on all unbelievers, punishing them in Hell for eternity.

Re: Christian Domestic Discipline

See, this is what you've always done here. You shrink back into your modern conceptions and ignore what the Bible says. You imagine antonyms where none exist. You try to work the Word against Itself, imagining It splintered with contradiction.

There is no contradiction. I am merciful. I do love. I honor, and pity, and am compassionate. That is why I punish, as God instructs. As God loves.

And no.
