I was quite a handful as a child and I believe the whippings I got were the only thing that kept me in line and taught me respect for others.
He who spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes" (Proverbs 13:24)
So you could only be 'kept in line' or 'have respect for others' by the use of pain?
Wow!
And yet so many children are brought up without such threats and are good decent people
and how serial killers always had parents that beat them
This is a translation into English as it is used and understood today, I don't know about you but I do not use 15th century English.
Its a bad translation. The hebrew word implies a physical strike. What is this 15th century you are talking of?
