Re: Hello, Friends in Jesus.

How great that the LORD has seen fit to bless you with sons! My wife and I have a son-to-daughter ratio of 5 to 0, and we're going to be shooting for number 6 later during the summer.

My father was never around to discipline me as a child, and I developed some serious... issues... as a result during adolescence, which later necessitated a summer of reorientation therapy to get me right with the LORD.

Except for my youngest (his head is still soft), I keep the bottoms of my sons as red as beets. It's amazing how young they start with the sassy back-talk and disrespect of authority. They will thank me when they are well-adjusted, older and have young Christian soldiers of their own.

As fathers and husbands, we hold ultimate authority in the household, but this authority is tempered with the knowledge that we will ultimately answer to God for our actions and decisions. The final decision rests with us, so whatever the outcome is, it is ours to bear. We hold authority to utilize corporal punishment on our wives for disciplinary reasons as well.

I take my authority to use corporal punishment on my wife quite seriously and only be utilize it on occasions where one of the "Four D's" has been violated:

Disobedience
Disrespect
Dishonesty
Danger (e.g., reckless driving, not following doctor's orders, undercooking meat)

This style of traditional male-led Christian marriage may seem unusual in today's "modern", liberal, politically correct, anti-God culture. This unholy culture, with its radically selfish feminism, and wholesale bias against true manhood, launches relentless attacks against traditional Christian family values.

I seem to have gone off on a tangent. The subject Christian domestic discipline is near and dear to my heart. I shall leave you with the following Scripture:

Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Thank you for your supportive thoughts, brother in the Lord. It is indeed heartwarming to read of the efforts of one abandoned by his earthly father to re-establish himself in God's favour by cleaving to the One True Faith ™. Not many persons have overcome the handicap of not being thrashed regularly by a Godly and muscular parent.

For minor infractions by your smaller blessings, may I recommend the old Scottish remedy for sin, the tawse? It is applied to the hand, or if one's aim is less than perfect, the wrist, where its effect is if anything more salutory. It is not to be regarded as a substitute for the rod, but a handy and traditional adjunct. The decadent and liberal schools on the Scottish mainland have abandoned it, like all other forms of Godly coercion, but here on the Isle of Sodd, we preserve its use.

To your excellent "Four D's" I would add a fifth: Discursiveness. In particular, when using that Devil's instrument, the telephone. Although communication with the mainland is thankfully prevented by the Faith Telecommunications Company (plc), there are occasions when the little woman overextends the bounds of her permission to discuss sacred matters with our neighbour, Mrs MacStrapp. Do you have this problem?

Re: Hello, Friends in Jesus.

FYI we broke with the apostates at the SBC years ago. They support sodomy for one thing.

So did I (broke away from SBC'S teachings). Probably around the same time that you did. They caused my former apostasy within my former church. I have a degree there, but I did not attend that school before they decided to run and hide like cowards. I choose to denounce their cowardly ways. I still stand firmly against Disney! Now I know and understand that Landover Baptist is the only way to go.

Re: Hello, Friends in Jesus.

Thank you for pointing that out Pastor. It is just another example of being a false Christian. I hope deep in my heart that they repent, Praise Jesus. Some so called Christians do not understand how hard it is to be called a True Christian™ the cross we bear is all most unbearable. Lord give me the strength to carry out your commands. Thank you Jesus!

You guys are so amazing, I so badly wish to move to FreeHold Iowa someday with my beautiful wife!

Why does she have only one black eye? Are you going soft on her?
