I hope you treat the people in your congregation better than you treat the people you disagree with and oppose in this thread.

He's only defending himself because he has admitted to spanking his kids here.

If he finally admitted or accepted that spanking has been proven through meticulous research, to be abusive and mentally detrimental to the growth and development of children; it means he was an abuser (in his mind).

So he'll just keep twisting in the wind, to avoid breaking that cognitive dissonance.

Yes, but if I push him too hard, he might teach me good behaviour by hitting me.

Fortunately, as adults, we have legal recourse if anyone hits us and physically harms us. Most children, on the other hand, are defenseless against being hit and physically harmed by a parent(s) or other adults in positions of authority over them. That is why I am an advocate for children (CASA) and why I report other people (parents) who hit and physically harm children to the police and/or to Child Protective Services. If I see it or know about it, I report it.

He has actually said and agreed that yes it's fine as long as it's out of love in many other places here too.

In my opinion, anyone who believes it is love to hit a child(ren) in order to correct their behavior has a very distorted sense of what love is. I believe this is even more disturbing if they base their belief on the Bible, considering what it says about allegedly sinning against a loving, just, and merciful God.

We were at my in-laws when our oldest daughter was between near 2, and she was given a warning but still misbehaved, so I gave her a swat on her diapered butt, she ran crying around the table, ran back to me, jumped up into my lap, I consoled her, and she stopped crying. My mother-in-law look perplexed, so my wife explained that the message being sent was that she misbehaved, needed to be punished, but that I still loved her.

We very rarely even had to do this, btw.

That's how I remembered it. There was a sense of accountability back then that is now lacking with a considerable part of the modern generation(s) who think they are immune and entitled because they have absolutely no sense of boundaries anymore nor expect consequences for their actions.

“[Young people] are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled by life, nor have they experienced the force of circumstances.

They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it.”

You need to reread what I said. WOW, how this triggers so many Rf’ers to come out of the woodwork.

I read what you said twice.

You know, if you think I've misread what you've said, instead of telling me I'm "triggered" by it, which is rather dismissive, you could try explaining what you meant in another way and point out where I've made an error.

Lots of things trigger me to the trauma I've endured in my life and that causes me to have panic attacks, but your comments on this board are not among them.
Apparently you have no idea how dismissive and insensitive it is use the word "triggered" in the mocking manner in which you are using it.

Instead, maybe try explaining yourself better.

He must have his own special definition of "triggered".
