[b] ...[text shortened]... I'll drive her down to a clinic and have the process terminated.
Someone could read this a different way.
Another interesting thing about "the rod" is that it is synonymous with "the staff" or a walking stick.
Most learning without books is accomplished "pedantically ", or "On Foot" or "while walking about" from place to place. Plato and Socrates taught this way.
To "spare the rod" can thus be taken as to "withhold a beating with the walking stick" or as "failure to teach while walking".
We have to choose how we will use the term. It's that terrible word again. "Choose"

I dont like hearing about my sinful nature but I accept it.
Jesus said He did not come to bring peace but a Sword.
Matthew 10:34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Seriously RB. Sometimes your god-thingy could supply you with a big dose of humble pie and reality.

Originally posted by telerionThe reality is we are ALL sinners and doomed to Hell unless Jesus saves us.

Originally posted by telerionyou did not understand the word Spank, the sexual word for spank.
That, dear RBHill, is deliberately misquoting a source. Ever thought about joining with the Institution for Creation Research? They're always looking for people with your skills in research.
