Its becoming a good habit.
allendale: Its becoming a good habit.
imardmd1: It is not a good thing to have to kill another human, war or otherwise.
It makes one different. But it is necessary, and the Lord wants everyone prepared for it (Luke 22:35-36), and able to put it into practice to prove the sanctity implicit in the preservation of a moral law-abiding human life.
It is in the area of public education, where the idea of forbidding corporal discipline in the classroom, that early acculturation of a child to accept personal accountability for one's deportment has utterly failed.
The pediatrician Benjamin Spock, M. D., an elitist theorist of liberal humanism, published literature advocating elimination of negative acts in physical and oral child-raising, thus deconstructed a Biblical approach that had prevailed.
Gaining wide public approbation, His guilt-soothing theories swept the post-war nation, were taught throughout the schools training teachers, implemented in homes and public schools, and multiplied in successive generations.
At this point, a parent desiring to apply Biblical discipline may be him/herself smacked sharply by governmental Child Protective Services when reported by observers, judicially deprived of custody of one's children upon their complaint of receiving negative oral admonition of their behavior, and even arrested and jailed on charges of child abuse for corporal discipline of any kind.
The influence of citizens, born before WWII, an electorate raised with high inhibitions to criminal activity, has largely been eradicated through age, death, and liberalist persuasion.
But as a result, we now have an irresponsible plurality of anti-Constitutional self-serving godless lawless citizens who are continually complaining abut their desires not being met by the government that Spock-like elitists now control.
But what is it that the Word of God has proclaimed for millennia of history and supported by organized Christ-imitators, but increasingly revoked for three generations of American government:
"For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity" (Psalm 125:3 AV>.Thus saith the counsel from the Book of Wisdom written by the wisest Hebrew of the tribe of Judah--Solomon--that ever came into the world save the Eternal King, Jesus of Nazareth."In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding" (Prov. 10:13 AV).
"Hethe Spockian that spareth his rod hateth his son: but heBiblicist that loveth him chasteneth him betimes" (Prov. 13:24 AV; cf. Heb. 12:5,8,15).
"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them" (Prov. 14:3 AV)
"Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell" (Prov. 23:13-14 AV).
"A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back" (Prov. 26:3 AV).
"The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame" (Prov. 29:15 AV).
But now we, whom we-all think far wiser, have taken the rod (in its time the AR-15) wisely placed by the Second Amendment of the Founder's Constitution, and placed that death-dealing rod in the hands of the undisciplined Spock-mode inhibition-free sinful child of Satan, Prozac, and Xanax, to use as he (she) pleases, rejecting accountability to the true original form of the Un-Free Declaration of Independence of the Self-Disciplined Wise American Responsible Citizen.
What now, my FRiend(s)? Eh? More Biden? More . . . Alinskyite "It takes aSpockian village to raise a child" Clinton?
