Spanking is hitting a child.

Take it up with God's Word.

Take up all the violence that is condoned in the old testament and a person would be in jail today.

So which is correct, God's Word or today's sensibilities?

Praise God for the new testament and today's sensibilities.

Not a very "Spirit Filled" thing to say.

2 Timothy 3

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Your comment contradicts scripture.  Period.

I guess God just didn't know any better back then, hmmm? It's a good thing He has us around to teach Him right from wrong.

Well this thread has devolved quickly.

And to think it all started so a guy could point me out and take issue with a personal opinion.

I'll leave you two to it.  ::playingguitar::

Opinions can be wrong and can contradict scripture.

I think it was out of respect for not derailing the thread "what are your thoughts".

Thought so!   ::smile::  And, thank you very much for it!   ::tippinghat::

Besides, almost every post here deals with each of us taking issue with, or wanting to talk about someone else's personal opinion or understanding of scripture.  Its called discussion, and this is a discussion board.  ::shrug::

How about calling someone on financial duplicity and telling them to fall over dead on the spot?  (read Acts 5)

And that is NEW TESTAMENT.
