How much leeway? Your child still under your care who's not an adult? You'll kick them to the curb?

So no shunning then?

Just asking because all the rebellious kids I know that were shunned became atheists.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerShunning can reveal something bad on either side. It is like any corrective action it can be abused. So working out of love for what is best, not as a means of punishment should be our guide.
Unless you shun them for 'sin' that isn't sin, in my case I was shunned for not following the rules of the church, which aren't even in the Bible. According to them I was sinning by speaking to the girl before we were married.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerI don't think shunning children is ever an option, it would have to be very bad to even do it to family.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerI have never heard of shunning children, just using the rod.

Does the Bible teach unconditional love?
Originally posted by @karoly-aczelYes, this is Satan's view.

But thats more or less the same right?

Yes, this is Satan's view.
You say it is Satans view that we should aspire to unconditional love?
Ok then...
