Spanking: A Potential Tool for Legalism While the passages about the rod (šēḇeṭ שֵׁבֶט) such as Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 23:13-14, and Proverbs 29:15 do require us to discipline children, many legalists take these passages about the rod in Proverbs out of context to support their legalistic view of repetitively spanking people to the point of "breaking their wills". It is important for us to understand that the rod spoken of in Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 23:13-14, and Proverbs 29:15 is an instrument of discipline so that we do not abuse those under our care with it as legalists have done. Of course, these self-righteous legalists think that being sadistic is a sign of "toughness", while viewing gentleness as a sign of "weakness." Through adequate discipline with the rod, we can clearly see that gentleness is indeed a sign of marvelous power. |
