    Now we know FAL is an expert in two things- habitual sin and child discipline.

    It is truly sad to tell the truth. I wonder how he disciplined his own children!

    Do you believe it would be child abuse use a rod on a child? Not a switch, but a rod and the Hebrew rod means something in the order of a pole or club.

    If you are married, what would your wife say about your statement? Would you beat her if you thought she had it comming?

    No there is no command to beat a wife. First my wife would be a woman that the Loved and His word. Second this woman is not his wife. The statement about her needing a whipping is true as she is destroying her daughters life by teaching her to be irresponsible. This whole matter came up because the father cut the daughter off from paying her bills.

    How do you know this is true? I read the judge's statement and no where in it did he take responsibility for his own actions. Instead he questioned her motives in making the tape public.

    If he'd said "yeah I busted her tail for repeatedly downloading illegal music. Maybe I over reacted but it was an issue that she kept repeating and would have gotten her into a host of trouble if it continued", that's taking responsibility. But instead it comes across as though he's trying to make her look badly so he won't!

    Why should I believe him over what I can see with my own eyes?

    I have seen stupid and hateful, but FAL advocates criminal assault on a child. Nothing about freedom there, just an evil man enslaved by his own hate and brutality. I am disgusted and sick to my stomach by such who would abuse children. Next we will see advocating stoning an unruly son to death.

    I do not know why anyone would read anything posted by the originator of this thread. What a complete waste of time.

    FAL talks about a rod and not a switch. He does have a point, however, it's not the size of the rod that is important, its how it is used. To calmly and with love discipline a child is one thing, but yelling, cursing and beating a child is wrong regardless of what is being used.

    My father used his hand; he was strong enough to beat me to death if he had wanted, but he used good judgment and never did more than discipline me correctly. I may have though I was being beaten to death at the time, but I never had a mark or a bruise to show for his spankings.

    Robert I certainly agree that screaming and curing someone is wrong, but the discipline was not child abuse. The girl was never harmed in that whipping. As to a mark or bruise I see nothing wrong with either. In fact if there is no evidence at all after a whipping then it was a waste of time.

    No, there is no command to beat one's wife. I still ask you, would you do to your wife that which you say needs to be done to this woman, if you thought she had it comming?

    My answer is the same. I realize that my answer is difficult for you to understand because I hold to the word of God as my guide. There is no command to beat one’s wife.

    We agree that it is true there is no command to beat one's wife, but that was not the question. You did not answer the question that I asked.

    My question, and I will ask it again, is: Would you do to your wife that which you say needs to be done to this woman, if you thought she had it comming?

    He also commands to be angry and sin not. To say what he did is not a sin leads me to believe you are the liberal in endorsing filthy language and God's name being taken in vain.

    You have the nerve to call someone who Christ died for "worthless"?!?

    Your entire view on this is anti-Christ. Repent!

    Yes - you answered the question that yes, you would beat your wife because you say that this woman needs a beating over and over again. Are you married? Have children? I pray that you do not.

    You have not answered the question. Yes or no. It is as simple as that.

    Because of your nonanswer, am I right to believe then that yes, you would do (whip, beat) to your wife that which you say needs to be done (whip, beat) to this woman, if you thought she had it comming?

    Yes or no.

    The evidence of your own words Annsni has quoted in the previous post does not paint you in a good light. It exposes you.
