What your stance on people spanking their kids. Some countries see it as a horrific act, making it illegal, other (like mine) see it as a perfectly acceptable  means of disciplining their kids so long as its not excessive. The Bible itself endorses it in several verses

If more people would spank (not beat) their children we would see some great improvements in this next generation coming up. Obey God rather than man. Have a nice one.

I think it should be based on the individual child, for some it is all that will work, for others it is meaningless to them.  Each child is different and we should not treat them all the same. 

But we also need to be watchful, as there is a fine line between a spanking and a beating.

Proverbs 13:24 (KJV)

[24] He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

This from the wisest man made so from God... wisdom has it's own reward...

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

[6] Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

The word translated as "rod" in this verse also can be translated as "correction".

Not a thing wrong with it at all.  When I was about 10 years old, I lied to my dad and when my lie was discovered, I got a pretty good spanking.  A leather belt on a bare bottom gets the point across.  You cannot fill your lungs with enough air to express the pain you are in, in that type of situation.   And you better believe I never lied to him again.  In fact, I never crossed him once, after that. 

Spanking works.   You can cause a lot of a pain without causing harm.

That was sadistic I believe......I am not saying your father was a sadist, however spanking more often not not was a way for parent to work out their frustration.  For instance, what if you father spanked your mother that way?  A child is helpless before it parents, I believe there are other ways to discipline a child that work better. I have met many men and women who talk about how their parents would beat them, it did no good, only made them worse.  Probably because it was often unjust.

People spanking their kids is pretty much their business.

There are other ways of disciplining a child. There are time outs, removing privileges, "sassy sauce" (water and vinegar), or any other methods that can be just effective. I think extremes are not good in this instance. Completely avoiding any kind of spanking isn't the best option. Spankings in anger is not the best option.

I agree with @Out of the Shadows it really depends on the child. There is a fine line between spanking and beating too.

God bless,
GE
