"Spare the rod?"
I hesitate to post this because I'm sure there is an answer to this somewhere on the board, but I can't find it (even did a search!)
Is there a place/discussion/thread that looked into the actual scripture and (scripturally/theologically) refuted the argument people use when using that particular scripture? Any thoughts welcome - maybe someone can point me to the right place? TIA! Kat |

Re: "Spare the rod?"
So, in other words, is "spare the rod and spoil the child" meant to be interpreted as "if you don't spank your kids they will grow up spoilt and unable to fit into society"? Or can we go back to the original Hebrew and to context and show that it ought to be read differently?
Any thoughts? (Mods, maybe this should go into theology discussion?) |

Here's a study Joanne did, too, from her web page
Study of The Rod Scriptures.
