Spare the rod... spoil the child. (Proverbs 13:24) Heard this - TopicsExpress



          

Spare the rod... spoil the child. (Proverbs 13:24) Heard this verse all my life and alot since yesterday. I hate when people use the bible to justify bad behavior. (Child abuse, violence, silence women, slavery, discrimination) The rod is an analogy. A Sheppard uses a rod to direct & correct not only to strike. And a good Sheppard knows how to direct well enough to not strike often. And a good Sheppard nevers strikes to hurt but to correct, & doesnt leave their sheep bloody and destroyed. If youve ever seen the karate kid with jaden smith, think of the sceens of how jackie chan used the rods to instruct/correct/guide jaden. THATS what that verse means.
