NOTE I NEVER SPANKED MY CHILD, BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE THAT I SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF MY OWN MOTHER, YET IN HIND SIGHT I SAW THAT NOW MY CHILD IS REBELLIOUS, AND SO STRONG WILLED THAT SHE IS DEFIANT.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT BEING ABUSIVE, I JUST DID NOT SPANK BECAUSE OF THE HORROR MY BROTHER JASON, SISTER LESLIE, AND MYSELF SUFFERED WITH BEING BEATEN DAILY BY OUR MOTHER.
THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE CASE IN SPANKING!
SPANK, NOT BEAT!

THE BIBLE'S STANCE ON SPANKING, Spanking one's child in a non abusive manner.
*Prov 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (diligently)."
*Prov 19:18: "Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying."
*Prov 22:15: "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."
*Prov 23:13: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die."
*Prov 23:14: "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (Shoel)."
*Prov 29:15: "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."
