[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 75589, member: 1991"] Yep, that's what it means. "Spare the rod..." means to not use it, or to use it sparingly. If you do avoid using the rod, you will spoil the child. Allegedly. You can use the Bible (misquoted, or quoted selectively) to justify anything. How many times have you heard someone say, "Am I my brother's keeper?" to justify not getting involved in helping someone else? How many people remember that this is what Cain said, when asked where his brother Abel was (after Cain had murdered him)? And what is it with people who name their kid Cain, or Kane, because it's a name from the Bible? OK, off topic, but maybe just for the exercise I'll go through my Bible encyclopedia and look for references to discipline. Could be a fun read... Marg [/QUOTE]
