NC Pator Sean Harris says Parents should "Punch" their gay acting children...

[claybevan]

What proverbs are you referring to?

Spare the rod and spoil the child

[Liquid Tension]

My son once bought a baby doll at a garage sale when he was 3 years old. I was slightly concerned but even my slight concern was dissipated when he pulled all her arms, legs and head off.

Where in the New Testament does Jesus tell us the wisdom of the Proverbs are no longer wisdom but foolishness?

He doesn't but neither did he refer to proverbs in his teachings. That, I know doesn't make them invalid but if we only learn one thing it surely must be his emphasis on LOVE. Nowhere in his ministry does he advocate ' a good whoopin' never did anyone any harm' Good role models and Love, yes, aggressive parents, no.

My son asked for a dolls house when he was small, I bought him one, he grew up to be a good healthy heterosexual male and an architect. So glad I didn't punch him!!!!

At the age of 8, I gave my daughter her first firearms safety course. At 12 she got her hunting permit license. During that course she was on the range firing a 20ga at clay pigeons and of the 5 shells given to her, she hit 2 out of the five... I was proud since that was the FIRST time she shot at moving targets!!

Today (10 years later) she's a girly girl that can safely shoot a weapon still!!

I'd say she's squared away!

Praise de Lord you weren't one of those "get back in the kitchen and bake me a cake "dads. No reason on earth why she can't handle a gun and bake cakes!
What's squared away mean, I'm a Londoner and I've never heard that before

This is still the best post on the topic:

Oh Yeah! no sin on earth that you can't punch out!!!

: SQUARED AWAY - "from the nautical meaning of having changed a sailing ship's positions to that of the prevailing wind, with the yards turned at right angles to the deck." in the correct position and ready to move forward.

Another, more modern term, all sides in a square being equal.

"Squared away" is a military term. I'm retired military after 21 years in the US Army Infantry.

The lingo will never leave my system! Hooah? HAHAHA

I don't advocate "punching" a child for being gay or being perceived as gay. Do I condone homosexuality as ok to engage in? No, I don't. The Bible clearly says it's sin to God. I sympathize with parents who have kids who are gay, and I don't know how you handle that situation, but I don't think being physical with them is the answer.

I posted this elsewhere a while ago but I think it has a place here as well:

Here's the deal -

I grew up in a strange family. My mother and her seven siblings grew up during the Great Depression. The two oldest had married and moved away by the time the Great Depression began but that left five at home. They did what they had to do to make ends meet. Later in life when they were able to choose their professions/vocations, it was a really mixed bag of tricks.

Two were bakers
One worked in a steel mill
One was a small engine mechanic
One worked in a factory and did very delicate machining
One owned a bar and woe betide anyone who caused trouble
One assembled lawn mowers at a factory
One stayed home with the kids and seriously loved to iron

Now - are you ready?

Two were bakers - both male
One worked in a steel mill - male
One was a small engine mechanic - female
One worked in a factory and did very delicate machining - male
One owned a bar - female
One assembled lawn mowers at a factory - female
One stayed home with the kids and seriously loved to iron - female

All real men do not grunt and scratch. All real women do not coo and squeal. And if anyone thinks so, they need to meet my family.

Seriously.

Sheesh.

Why does this stuff always seem to happen in North Carolina?

I wonder, why the topic was never spoken about in the NT, plenty about adultery, murder etc. It seems conspicuous by it's by absence. They must of had their share of homosexuals? Just an observation.
