I scolded my young daughter of going home late. My wife said: I thought you found the true religion, why are you still like that?
She warned me because I almost hit my daughter with my belt for disrespectfully answering back.
Is it true that part of being holy is not to get angry at anybody?
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
How about the beating of a Child?
If it will help to direct his/her steps, why not? We have what we call in our vernacular "palu-paluan". It's a whipping not intended to kill.
Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
Although some parts of the world, especially U.S.A., beating a child with a rod will report you to Call 911. I assumed, Americans are not biblical in this particular verse.
Apostle Paul also warned the members of the Church of God who is at Corinth.
1 Corinthians 4:21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
And allowed by God to give warning to the righteous that commits iniquity.Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.Ezekiel 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel 3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
