One verse from the Holy Scriptures covers the jest of this thread, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" -- Isaiah 5:20
Its a sad state of affairs when one propagates the false message that punishing a child for doing wrong is evil. Its much better to use some type of punitive treatment while they are young than allow their actions to continue into adulthood where prison or death awaits what could have been corrected by righteous parenting. A good spanking does nothing but instill fear, respect and empathy for their fellowman....something that is dearly lacking on the left side of this nation
Christians are advised to, "...save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh." -- Jude 23 Its also sad that today there are so many people that have not been taught the difference between good and evil....or even know what good or evil is. Anyone that professes to be Christian should, "..abhor what is evil and cling to what is good." -- Romans 12:9
There are so many that don't have a moral compass to lose...anything goes under the pretense that each person is his/her own god and judge. They have corrupted the true message in the Holy Scriptures. Example: even those professing to be Christians have diluted the scriptures and changed the contextual message to suit and appease everyone, they don't wish to offend anyone by speaking and pointing out the truth delivered by God in the Holy Scriptures.
They have attempted to redefine the Biblical meaning of Compassion and Love. Compassion now means Tolerance...even for something they know is wrong and evil....compassion now means diversity and acceptance of false religions. They made everything so politically correct that punishment of a child is not allowed for engaging in actions that has the potential to be harmful to self or others....a Christian is not supposed to take issue with anyone (according to the leftists)....a Christian is not supposed to condemn or pronounce something unacceptable for any type of behavior confronted....no matter how wicked that behavior might be.
And the flip side of that same record? If one cannot distinguish what is wicked or evil behavior....just how are they supposed to know good? The evidence is this thread. Its a simple message found in the holy scriptures.....if one is not loved, one is not chastised into correctness.
"My son, do not despise the chastising of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the Lord Loves.....HE CHASTENS AND SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES." -- Hebrews 12:5-6
SCOURGE: a whip used to punish wrongdoing.
