Deliberately hurting another, such as another child. Accidents do happen, but physically hurting another deliberately isn't right.
Stealing from someone.
Failing to follow instructions.
If something happens, I explain why what they did was wrong.
or have the child sit for a while. Generally 10 minutes or so.
yes, every human has rights. Those rights are generally supported by laws. And what happens when we break the laws?
Perhaps you are in a situation where you can be around your child 24/7 to stop each new situation and calmly explain all the options.
Most of us do have jobs to attend to, and other obligations that require us to be away from our children at least part of the day.
I would think that if I can help my child to behave in social situations where other people aren't required to punish my child, it is best for everyone
Being a parent, I always suspect the purveyors of messages such as those above to be lying.
Sure to your credit, maybe you try not to do it, hell it's probably even rare, but I suspect that to say it NEVER happens is akin to sprinkling carpet fresh over a spot where your poodle took a dump.
Maybe you just keep it all repressed, in which case I offer my condolences to the families of your future (or current) victims.
In the spirit of your bullshit, I gotta go let my kids out of their cages.

Fromt the Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon:gendanken said:One, you know nothing about Hebrew, can't even read it, so do not tell me what can or cannot prevent the Hebrew word alma from being a "virgin"
There is a reason why the word "virgin'- in almost every language- is concocted and it is a term applicable to men, women, and matter (virgin oil).
There is a reason for the word 'virgin', Jenyar.
Maybe I enjoy trying to understand what I do not - and tryinng to explain what I do understand. Sure, a superficial reading might make no sense, and few people care to do more than a superficial reading. I don't mind doing the reading, so I'm happy to "apologize".Looks like what is left is Number Three, Jenyar, to explain why it is that so many like you run after god like so many mothers cleaning up after toddlers.
You apologize for God as fervently as a mother does her kid picking its nose out in public.
And when others ask you to explain to them something so integral to your character, you cannot explain well because one can never explain well what they do not understand.
And when we do not understand but speak anyway, we Bullshit.
I can't prove these people were trustworthy, no. And you can't prove they're not. It comes down to whether we believe them or not. I don't think they were dictated their accounts mindlessly, but since their copies don't match I don't think they merely echoed each other mindlessly either. Your argument goes both ways. Paul's letters precede the gospels, and yet the four gospels show no influence of his advanced theology. At the very least, it suggests that they were using other sources than available scripture: personal accounts.Two- you cannot quote me Mathew or Luke as circumstantial evidence in this matter.
That’s like proving the resurrection occurred based on Christian eyewitnesses.
You’re going to support what Matthew said based on Mathew and then what Mathew said based on Luke and vise versa? Its known that all four fed off each other.
And that’s like proving Deepak is right about AIDS being spiritual by quoting his saying so.
How are the chapters an indication of time? (can you tell me how much time passed between the plagues?). The chariots were obviously Pharoah's, but the horses could have come from anywhere (since Pharoah could simply have imported new horses from other regions under his control - and they would become his). All Egypt's horses did not die, as is plain from the text, so your insistence on the strict appliation of "all" makes no sense. It's a forced interpretation that contradicts the text. I might not be able to read Hebrew, but I know one of its peculiarities is its universal terms (like love vs. hate). Consider:True, but he did not.
Read your bible. Clearly.
There is no time lapse so appeals to 5th plague is you......running after your toddler again.
Therefore, we have God stating that he has killed all the horses and livestock of the Pharaoh.
And then a measly 3 chapters later this genius has Pharaoh chasing his Chosen People on Pharohaoh’s horses.
Horses.
I think the difficulties require that we do read further. Unless you think the author was totally oblivious to the problem that seems clear as daylight - so clear as to come across as pure stupidity - there is no problem with the account as he gives it. The plague and hail didn't kill all the horses in Egypt.And the words used there are ‘every’ and ‘all’, therefore:
Don’t read too much into it.
Since "there has been no day like that, before it or after it" (Joshua 10:14) I think any explanation is speculative. However you wish to come to terms with it, this was what the Israelites attributed the success of their victory to.…and you’re trying to squirm your way out of this one as well.
Joshua looks up.
In the middle of battle.
And asks his god to stop the sun in the sky.
God stops the sun in the sky. In the dead bloody middle.
All you are doing is trying to explain away your toddler’s bad manners again, like a good Stepford jew.
I've seen Mel Gibson's Passion, and I've read the Roman descriptions of it. No skulls were crushed. Sometimes the flesh was completely ripped off, but the intention was to inflict as much punishment as possible without resulting in death (or the crucifixion itself would be robbed of its purpose).You do realize that criminals were beat and tortured before being crucified yes?
And who you call the ‘messiah’ had both a Jew and a roman trying to crush his skull in for being so meek and pretentious.
Those two traits together really annoy the hell out of people.
Know what, Jenyar? Never thought I’d say it - you being one of the most plausible Christians on this forum - but you really suck at this.
Are you God that you can save anyone?Woody said:Invert Nexus: Gendanken is an evil woman and you'd do well to steer clear of her. If you try saving her, she'll just drag you down into her own damnation. She brings her own hell with her.
Nobody owes you any apology.Woody says: Yes I have already figured that out. She demands apologies when she owes them. She asks for something, and when you give it to her she ignores it, or ridicules it, curses it, you name it -- anything but receiving it. Then she flames you for doing things that you did not so. I never "turned her away", and Water says "I must love a troll".
Whether she is reasonable and justified or not should be of no concern to you. If you see that she won't be reasonable, leave it at that, but you have no place to condemn her for it. If you don't know what she's going through, or what her motives or reasons are, don't speculate - and don't judge based on speculation.Water isn't much better. I sent her a cordial note and she didn't reply. She says that I don't "care" , but she really doesn't care to listen -- that's odvious. She pulled out something I quoted months ago from some old thread of hers and says "See, you did participate in that thread discussion and now I demand an apology from you." The content of that particular post added absolutely nothing to the conversation at hand -- but she demanded an apology because I did not remember posting it in her thread. I honestly don't remember everything I post here -- especially after months of a shut-down on this sciforums website, and I'm over 700 posts now.
And by calling them petty and small-minded, you only prove that you don't have a smidgen of forgiveness or grace either. You can't keep them from going to God with their attitude, or Him from forgiving it; you sound like Jonah complaining about Nineveh. Let them spit in your face, let them slap you on the cheek - you be the Christian.Neither one of them has even a smidgen of forgiveness in their petty, smallminded, bones. They will never come to the Lord with an attitude like that, so you are correct -- there is little if any point in trying to help them. They'll just spit in your face. With those two, I am casting my pearls before swine.
