I thought you said something like how there is not actually any need for the rod? If so, I find that to be counter to the bible. Hostile to Scripture and God.

So if we assume God had it wrong we are not bickering, if not, we are. Got it. Proverbs 25:26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

So God was not too bright in clearly saying it was needed and a requirement of loving parents, got it. That depends on the crime. If clear warnings were given and a child crosses that line, the the search for clever lock the kid in a room to get them out of out hair should not proceed Well...

Exactly. Yet some people take a little more teaching than others

? Locking the kid in a room!? How insane.

No I look at what it says. There is nothing that opposes them, just people grasping at straws to try and find excuses not to agree with God It is settled. It is right. He that spares the rod hates the child. Do you think it is wrong of God to chastise His children? Do you think He uses...

Baloney. Otherwise God would not have recommended it. Let's trust He knows best. He that does not use the rod hates the child.

Why question God? Apparently he wants man to take sin somewhat seriously. He wants children to be corrected and learn right from wrong. There is a place for many types of correction, not just corporal punishment. But there is also a time and place when that is needed. God says so. Now when it...

If we love them we will discipline them. Correction is not exasperating them. It is loving them, He that loves not the child spares the rod As above. You could embitter them by not lovingly correcting them though. Governments and schools are wrong. Period.

? What passage?

God says it is not only fine but required. Who can argue with or overrule God?

So? I do not care how you think you are being led. The bible leads us fine, thanks. If God leads it will agree with Scripture. Period. Jer 7:16 “So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. Ha. Finally we see the...

I don't care where you think you are called or not. Just looking for a clear position And..? He did say do not pray for them in the bible in one instance. He also mentioned that mistreating widows and orphans etc was very bad. So when a nation mass murders them by the tens of thousands, and...

Not sure what point you were trying to make in the post. It looks like you agree with me that we are not to support terrorist states or secular states. (?)

Many Jews have repented and followed. I do not think that the nation 'cannot' believe. It is just that God knows they will not, until a remnant believes in the end.
