Does Biblical discipline extend to stoning and burning do you think? Come to think of it I don't actually recall spanking in Leviticus, must go and check...
that was my point, as far as I can recall, the first step for wayward children is to hit them with rocks until they are dead, or feed them to bears And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of themKings 2:24
i can't recall anything as mild as being beaten with wooden paddles...
