"Do not fail to discipline your children. They will not die if you spank them. Physical discipline may well SAVE THEM FROM DEATH!"
Dr. Spock had an impact on our society that is prevalent even to this day. In fact it is now permeating the entire world. It is now unacceptable to use any kind of physical force to discipline our children. In order to correct bad behavior any method is used as long as it does not include spanking! How about you, are you afraid to use physical force such as spanking your child to discipline them? Has the world made us afraid to invoke the Word of God and the One Truth Today that we must not fail to discipline our children. God tells us our children will not die if we spank them and this type of physical discipline may well save them from death!
The Word tells us that to "spare the rod is to spoil the child". We need to listen and hear the Word of God for it does not agree with Dr. Spock and those like him. By not using physical discipline, specifically spanking your child, you only intensify their eventual punishment for bad behavior. Bad behavior leads to consequences that demand a reaction and discipline that will be applied by a higher authority than you or your child. You are not avoiding pain for your child by withholding physical discipline, in fact, you are escalating the consequences and punishment for their behavior. Your minor spanking in their early years can avoid the pain and escalating punishment of society in their later years. Jail and the death penalty are some of the consequences of escalating bad behavior administered by society.
Do you love your child enough to do your Godly duty as a parent? Have you let this lost world and its sinful nature to control your authority as a good parent to administer discipline? We all know that it hurts the parent more than the child for a spanking to be administered. We also know that idle threats of discipline that are never administered are ignored and become more dangerous to a child left unpunished. We would never agree to abusive discipline and excessive physical punishment on children, but, they will not die if we spank them. In fact God argues that physical punishment may well save our children from death. If they continue to ignore your directions and enter the streets, a spanking may prevent their death by an automobile. If they do not heed your admonition to avoid danger a spanking may save them from an ignoble death. You have a responsibility to SAVE THE CHILDREN!
