103. Rod Rage: A Closer Look at Spanking in the Bible
from The Bible Uncut and Unfiltered · host Colin Connor
We all know the teaching, “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” But far fewer people know where it comes from—or what it originally meant. And here in the U.S., we remain one of the last first world countries where spanking is widely accepted and often defended as biblical, with pastors and parenting voices regularly pointing to scripture as support.In this episode, we take a careful look at the passages behind that claim. What did the biblical authors actually mean when they talked about the rod? And how should those texts be read today? Join us this week as we study the rod and spare the child.Website: TheBibleUncut.com (show notes available in the blog section)Donate: TheBibleUncut.com/support-usDiscord: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEmail: [email protected]: TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredInstagram: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredTikTok: @BibleUncutandUnfilteredYouTube: @TheBibleUncutandUnfilteredEditor: Janna Connor
