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...

Corporal punishment defenition The use of physical force to discipline children A child doesn't know where the boundaries are. It is natural for them to push the boundaries to learn where they sit. That's why kids are naughty and that's why parents often have to discipline them in some way or...

1- So that you experience a similar pain you put your sister through 2- So that you will think twice next time before doing something like that You will learn from it and become a better person for it hopefully. That's the idea of punishment. And about the theme park, you have plenty of time in...

Changed my vote back to "yes" after realizing how arrogant, hateful and prideful the "no" crowd really are. Pride is Satans favourite sin, he pulls you away from God, your friends and your family

That's just silly. I know plenty of Muslims and they are good people. Ive been to a Muslim wedding. To say their all servants of the devil is very uneducated. There are good and bad people in all races and religions

Fair enough

@The Barbarian Where did you read that Richard Dawkins is an agnostic now? I looked into it and my sources said he is certainly still an atheist

Parrot power. Just the sound of it has brought a mining plan to a halt

These passages aren't telling us that Satan has been defeated. We still see too much evil in this world

I'm not great at interpreting the book of revelation but to me that battle is still yet to take place as we see evil manifested all over the world. I hope I get to witness Michael and the good angels slaughter Satan one day

It sometimes does. Every child is naughty at some stage. That's probably why this book wasn't included in the bible, they didn't want to show the child Jesus being naughty

Well we all have our opinions. For me there isn't enough information in this case to make a final decision.

Again your talking about something totally different. It would depend on the things that I mentioned Seeing were asking other questions, would you go to a wedding if the couple were Muslims?

To me i don't think your necessarily celebrating or condoning it just by attending. There are other things that should be considered before making the decision. Is he a brother in Christ? Did he repent? Who initiated the divorce? Did he try to reconcile? We don't have the whole story so I...

LoL that's not the question I asked or what the video is about. You've taken it way out of context. But I have friends who aren't Christians and friends who have sinned, we all have sinned. But look at my most previous post before this or the next one after to better understand what I think of...
