beatings

it also states in the bible many times that parents are supposed to beat their children for discipline when they do wrong..
is the bible therefore evil also?

i do not begin to pretend that i know the Quran in detail..
for all i know the text might even be referring to wives that go and prostitue on the side or have affairs etc/
or do drugs or any other assortment of stuff.

guys beat gals regardless of religion and gals beat guys
folks are going to do what they want to..
whether it is written here or there for permission just justifies in someones mind that it is ok for certain circumstances..

do you spank your child?
many would see that as abuse.. esp an HRS worker !
yet the bible says spare not the rod..
who decides to what lvl that falls to? to what degree?
if it left a bruise is it abuse or is any act of physical violence abuse?
and what of the emotional abuse?
a *good christian can guilt trip children into complete fear of just living a happy spontaneous life.
. and yet never ever lay a finger on them ..
some women actually purposely provoke husbands.. as do some men.
i believe personally that a husband soudl be gnetle yet firm in the headship of a balanced marriage.
as in any business there is a president and vice president/
the very word husband relates to a gardener / one who tends his garden with care and concern for it to blossom under his attentiveness to maintain it.
if a wife is behaving in such a way to teardown that garden then
i think he needs to step up to the plate and be the *head* and say cut the crap.
too many wives think they can walk all over and disrespect their husbands
but respect has to be EARNED also / it is a 2 way street.
by NO MEANS am i saying i condone beating anyone!!!

i guess i am just saying that the words "beat" can mean many different things.. and is often found in the bible also/
for beating willful and stubborn childrens as an examaple.

ps/ i once had a policeman tell me i should "beat my kids butts"
if i had to .. to make them get there on time..
i replied.. so you are telling me to do something, that were i to do so.. you could arrest me for child abuse?
he had no answer..
