Yea but the same result could of been achieved by locking him in his room for a while or taking away his favourite toys for a while. There is no harm in at least trying non-violent punishments first

I'm not saying corporal punishment by parents is wrong. If other means of punishment have been exhausted and are not working then a good old fashioned spanking or a pull of the ear is required. I can't stand seeing those kids throw a tantrum at the supermarket. My sister and I would have never...

You cherry pick scripture to support your thoughts but ignore the ones that oppose them. I'm not saying that corporal punishment is wrong, unless the parent uses excessive force and causes major injury. It's up to the parent I'm just saying that it achieves nothing that non-violent punishments...

I was talking about parents using it. They have other means of punishment. Should schools use it? Well. Teachers don't have access to those other forms of punishment that parents have. All they can do is give them detention in which the child uses to do homework usually. So you make a valid...

I agree. Why assault a poor child when there are other non-abusive means of punishment. Most societies don't even use physical methods to punish criminals, so why use it on vulnerable children who are still learning. I think corporal punishment should only be used in extreme cases after all...

My question to you was What does spanking them actually achieve that other forms of punishment don't? You didn't answer the question I think because corporal punishment doesn't actually achieve anything that a non physical punishment already does.

Hahaha that's hilarious :Laughingoutloud: :jest:

Pffft whatever Read on and you'll see that I posted passages that appear to oppose as well You called me a liar I warned you about it And you've called me a liar again You can piss off for all I care Don't like people who make false accusations Your actually the liar Satan is the father of lies

Oil Oil Oil Was it ever really about anything else I doubt it

What does spanking them actually achieve that other forms of punishment don't?

I wrote them in the OP but if you missed them here they are... Bible verses that appear to support corporal punishment Proverbs 13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Proverbs 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart...

Physical punishment used to be popular against criminals. But most societies don't do that anymore. When then should we be doing it to kids who are just still learning and very fragile. In some sports bad athletes will miss some matches if they behave badly on the field. We can apply that to...

You know I thought the same thing but surprisingly a google search brought up this. It cites the Australian institute of family studies I agree. I don't see corporal punishment achieving anything more that other forms of punishment do

In the op I presented bible verses that appear to support corporal punishment and others that appear to oppose it. I was leaning towards yes. But after reading what people have to say and thinking about it more deeply I changed my mind. I find the arguments for it not very convincing If you...

Well there are passages in the old testament that appear to support corporal punishment. And there are passages in the new testement that appear to oppose corporal punishment. As Christians we abide by the new testement.

I was a firm yes to begin with but I've found your arguments and that of others to be very unconvincing so I've voted no

Can you elaborate? Maybe you can suggest an alternative punishment for a naughty child

No my friend its a fact. Some parents take it too far. They break bones and cause internal damage. Corporal punishment can become abuse in the hands of idiots like these Minor boy injured after alleged assault by drunk father in Idukki's Udumbannoor...

I think that's taking it out of context. I dont see the similarity. We're talking about corporal punishment not the police or the military. Two totally different issues

I'm not sure which claim your referring to because there was actually 4 claims being made. 1st claim. Corporal punishment has been banned in many countries. This is true 2nd claim. Corporal punishment is bad for the mental heath of the child. I agree there is no compelling evidence for this...
