Don't spare the rod isn't talking about the physical punishment of children.....Don't spare the rod is talking about the rod of correction or instruction & raising your children in the ways of the LORD....The institutionalization of the physical abuse of children as a form of parenting from those in the false priesthood or the false church is from the devil that has serious ramifications for any society.....Those in the false priesthood & false church creating violence with the blessing of Hitler & his henchmen & those playing government among the Feds....False doctrine has led them astray.....
