Proverbs 23:13-14: Ànd What it means to all people,

 Proverbs 23: 13-14: And What it means to All People!! By Anthony Joseph Hopkins November 4, 2021

 

 Are we supposed to use a rod to punish a child?  A rod is a metal object that is used in construction.  A rod is a thin straight bar especially that is made up of wood or metal.  When it comes to disciplining a child, a belt is used.  According to WHIO TV Channel 7 in Dayton, Ohio.  On Thursday October 28. 2021, a father of a ten-year-old child was sentenced to 51 years in prison for killing his son.  

 

The mother and friend of the family received prison sentences for participating in the crime.  Recently, another child was beaten 200 times with a belt in Springfield, Ohio.  A Biblical example comes from Proverbs 23:13. This Bible verse says Do not withhold correction from a child for if you beat him with a rod he will not die.  I guess the two examples of the incidents in the State of Ohio proves that the parents took things too far.  


Next, when it comes to these Bible verses, the parents did not exercise better judgment.  Another example of violence took place in Hamilton, Ohio.  A parent of a 6-year-old boy killed her son by dragging him with her car.  She attempted to give the child to the authorities prior to killing him, and throwing his body inside of the Ohio River.  Proverbs 23:14 says You shall beat him or her with a rod because you are delivering his or her soul from hell.  Is this a true statement?  Some parents are taking his too far.  

Proverbs 20:11 says Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right.  This Bible verse is true.  I say this because a child learns how to sin from watching their parents.  When it comes to Proverbs 23:13-14, parents will have to exercise self-control.  In 2021 standards, some parents consider their children as their best friend.

What is Forgiveness Part #2

  What is Forgiveness Part 2 By Anthony Joseph Hopkins May 8, 2021           Forgiveness Part #2 is simply about asking a very important question.   How many times shall I forgive my brother?   The answer is 70*7 = 490 times.   I will admit that I have to work on this issue myself.   This is simply because people has been cussing me out as of late.   I know that I have to forgive each person 490 times.     This is the truth.   I know that it is very hard for me to forgive each person 490 times.   I know that each person must forgive me a total of 490 times.   I have had one of my AA Sponsee cuss me out to my face.   I did not say or do anything to him personally. I have learned to become humble as of late.   I have more respect for other people’s feelings.   I am a sinner that needs grace and mercy. Next, I want to say that I have put up with a lot of crazy stuff f...

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...
