Just what else do you expect imperfect people to do?

You obviously do not know who the anointed one is. I suggest you study up on it for your life depends on it.

Yup. People like you who cannot cope with the violence in the world even though it is less violent than ever.

Again, it is not a judgement but an observation. In this case, an observation of what you are promoting defying what is in Scripture.

What foolishness! Not only do you disregard history, you disregard nature. It is not just human nature but the way of life on Earth to realize We live in a dangerous world, forever ruled by the effective use of violence. One of the myths taught today is that violence is not the answer...

No. It's not a judgement but an observation. If you did not get an ass whooping when you climbed a tree as a kid and stubbornly do it again, rather than your parent imposing punishment, gravity will. Only outside the protective graces of your parents, nature may put an end to your foolishness...

Not suggesting any coping IS the infantalizing of adults and children alike. I think you know I am suggesting is a coping skill. Not getting what you want - and dealing with it effectively is a coping skill. This includes wanting no hurt or harm to come your way. It is part of life. It's time...

The theoretical utopia is socialism. Maybe you don't even realize you've been so indoctrinated with it.

Not really. I'm putting INTO CONTEXT what you are vaguely equating, hurt from harm.

Hmmm. Sounds like too much is expected of teachers and preachers, if that is the case. Not only are teachers and preachers imperfect human beings, long ago online I rejected the stated expectation that all my posts should be comprehensive in scope. Likewise, teachers and preachers only have a...

You are lost, friend. 1st, there is a difference between harm and hurt. If my granddaughter runs toward the street as a speeding car is about to hit her, and I grab her arm, pulling it out of it's socket, I have hurt her. However, to NOT impose this hurt would have resulted in the last full...

You call yourself a Christian? The Bible says there is a hell - and beating kids with a rod will prevent them from going to hell. But you know better. This, you have the audacity to displace Christ with in referring to as the Good News?!

A 2nd bite at this apple. This is a fellowship lounge, not a doctrinal study or debate lounge. This means relationships. In the other thread, I mentioned my devout Catholic grandmothers. (Which you also ignored) While devout, theologians they weren't. These 2 women modeled the Christian life...

I made a similar point in a different thread. He said he invited scrutiny of what he says, then disregarded all my questions. Intellectual honesty, indeed. Where is this in Scripture? No where! Still pushing idolatry. Another pattern observed today with you is how your threads today are void...

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but I cannot imagine an OP so hell bent on relying on ones own understanding, in direct opposition to the Word of God @ Proverbs 3:5-6. You are again pushing gnosticism, special knowledge, foisting your own understanding as the basis for action. <sigh> A pattern...

So, America was not civilized in the 1950's when corporal punishment of children was policy? You advocate only government commit such crimes or what? This is why all civilised governments have abolished their police and military. So, they won't be accused of assaulting anyone. Is that right?

Beating childnren is not abuse. NOT beating them is abuse. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. Ps 23:14

And he did so in righteous anger!

Last year I took a deep dive into Psalm 23 in a Bible Study class, which used a book just for Psalm 23. The book explained shepherds tended to have 2 "rods;" the famous shephers' hooked staff to tend to the flock and also a short club to defend against wolves, etc.

The pastor told me that violating two of the 10th amendment is ‘biblical’. So forgive me if the term biblical has lost all credibility. There’s simply is no doctrine of the trinity verse and all of scripture and 66 books it’s not mentioned once.
