22. That 1/3 are probably Christians

Sep 2018

who've learned in church and from the Bible that it's Godly and righteous to beat children. Once someone believes that, does it really matter whether they administer the beating or if someone else does it?

Proverbs 13:24 - He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Proverbs 23:13-14 - Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 22:15 - Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Proverbs 29:15 - The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Proverbs 20:30 - The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
