Promoting domestic violence. What will they think of next.

I doubt you're suggesting this is part of mainstream Christianity, as that would be trolling at it's worst.

Got anything on genital mutilation? That seems to be popular and accepted amongst a certain religion.

No, I know many, many Christians that would laugh along with me at the thought of this.

50 shades anyone??......... got to keep it fresh and new:stars: religion makes it more sanctioned?

Maybe that what it is. A new way to keep the marriage interesting.

I don't know about that. Dusky enjoys a good spanking every now and then. :)

They even have women that have blogs about this. I won't post them as they may be considered racy to some.

O_o
OP, am I also culpable for the crimes of Westborough Baptist "Church" because I own a few bibles and have attended churches that say "baptist" over the door in my childhood?

If you want to be.

Seriously? Would you not say that is way over the top?

I don't get the point you are making. Is the thread over the top? Is my post of the top? Is my humor not coming through because I did not post a smiley face?

yes, yes, and yes.

Forgive me for I have laughed at the replies...and cannot stop.

Why would you take it personally? The OP said they weren't saying all Christians do this.

FYI. I only found out about this article because a young Christian women, was horrified to find out that there are married Christian couples in which the husband spanks the wife when she disobeys. .

I find the whole thing disturbing. I can not imagine what sort of woman would want a relationship like that. But I don't understand any of the women who promote extreme submission either.

I am Christian and do believe my DH is the head of my household however he does treat me with much respect. I think if he read this he would just shake his head and then probably we would both get a good laugh out of it.

We are taught that men are to "love their wives, even as Christ loves HIS church." If men think wives are better placed beneath them, then they cannot love their wives the way Christ’s love his church. Marriage is not a 50 – 50 deal. It is 100 – 100 percent deal.

Usually we only hear
In Ephesians 5:22 - 24, Paul starts on the subject of husbands and wives with this statement, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church; and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."

This all goes together.

So where in the World does the idea that the husband spanking the wife come from?

Gay Marriage is Promoting Sin.
There ,now you can have some real fun.

Personally, I don't care. If there's men out there that think they need to spank their wives, and the wives are in agreement, then it sounds like everyone's happy. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

I don't understand how some middle eastern men can wear shorts and T-shirts, but their wives are wrapped up from head to toe in all black and it's humid and in the high 80's. That to me seems cruel. But again, doesn't really matter what I think.

Maybe it IS just adding a little spice to their lives, who knows?

???? Are they confusing the Koran with the New Testament? How careless. But what can you expect from anti Christians.

The Westboroites are promoting wife beating? News to me.

CDD is a cult. "Christian Domestic Discipline" is the name of the cult and its objectives, a misappropriated and incorrectly named cult at that, but still just a misguided cult and should NOT be viewed as a reflection of Christianity as whole.

Please remember to keep to the topic and not to the bashing of each other. It would be easy to forget as this is a very touchy, and insulting to many topic.

I Peter 3:7, teaches that the husband is to honor his wife. She gave up her name to take yours. Honor means that you should show her respect and this involves courtesy, consideration and emotional support. Be sure that as her husband that you do not hold her up to ridicule in public by the cutting remarks that you make. She wears YOUR name and is to viewed as part of your body. She is not perfect and you are aware of this. Do not expect perfection, but as Ephesians 4:32 teaches, "forbear one another". This means to be gentle toward her.

Paul presents another responsibility of husbands in I Timothy 5:8 - "But if any provide not for his own, especially for those of his own household, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel". Marriage is a financial venture and the husband has a responsibility to finance or support or provide for his family.

Be active in the area of the discipline and rearing of the children. When the Apostle Paul was giving the qualifications for elders and deacons, he included this statement that is certainly applicable to all men: I Timothy 3:3-5, and he speaks of ruling your own house. Now this discipline should be with love. Many times discipline is administered without love. The Book says in Ephesians 6:4, "Fathers provoke not your children to wrath", and again in Colossians 3:21, "Fathers provoke not your children to anger lest they be discouraged". The husband therefore does not leave all the discipline up to his wife, but shares in the molding and direction of your children.The Christian father should set an example for his family as he earns a living, directs the household with concern for each member, and as he fulfills his role as head of the house.

Your wife is a part of your body - you are a part of each other. For this reason Paul said, "Love your wife". He didn't say, if you want to. As you love her, you love yourself and are fulfilling the role that the Lord wanted you to have.

This just shows that discipline of the wife by the husband is not what the Bible teaches at all. It does say they should discipline their children but not in anger. My point is just that if you say you are a Christian and are trying to live by the Bible you should not be buying into this at all. IMO

Those of you that don't believe in the Bible I just want you to know that as a Christian I would not condone something like this whether you are a Christian or not.

come on people. I have not read anything about this topic but cults are cults for a reason they are nuts. They are very few and far between. do not get in a dither and remember that is why we have police.

Ah, Ok. Nope, sarcasm does not come across well in black and white.

All I know is that Huffington post is a completely neutral news source and never has any kind of bias or agenda so I take all of their articles very seriously.

(Hyperbole helps with sarcastic forum mongering :D)

I don't suppose that any of these spanked wives were from Texas, do ya? :shrug:

I tell ya, if I raised a hand to my Christian Baptist wife she'd open a #10 can of Whoop Ass so fast that I would surely end up in the hospital before I even knew what hit me! :eek:

Try and remember that some folks are into that sort of thing. I try not to judge unless they're scaring the livestock.

Grandma, I think you are preaching to the choir here. The people who really need to have all of that biblical information pointed out to them is the members of that mis-named cult.

And believe me, it is just a hedonistic cult, one based in sexual gratification and titillation. If you were to read some of the voyeuristic blogs written by members of that cult you'd find that couples have contracts drawn up that define what constitute wifely sins that need disciplining. Many of the wives will deliberately commit or confess to sins just to get their husbands to spank them and then they share that experience on their blogs or websites dedicated to the CDD cult. Husbands will write in about the sins their wives committed and go into detail about how they disciplined their wives.

Whether or not all of that can be viewed as right or wrong makes no difference to me. I think what consenting people do as a sexual turn on in their domestic lives is their business but I do not think it is right for them to refer to the cult and their practise as a "Christian" practise based on Christian or biblical principles, because it's not.

I was reared a Southern Baptist in Texas and the women in the church would have put that hairbrush in a most painful place and some knots on the head for good measure. I am still chuckling about what some of those sweet, demure ladies in the choir would have done at the suggestion of a spanking. :hysterical:

Actually this section starts one verse earlier: "Submit one to another out of reverence to Christ." And goes on after the verse you quoted in much greater detail on how the husband is to treat his wife:
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by ithe washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Okie women are not too far behind.:hysterical:

I know this but sometimes I just think it doesn't hurt to re-read the scriptures. I completely agree with you.

Why do images from "Li'l Abner" comic strips (the ones with the frying pan) keep coming into my head? :D

Why stop at spanking? Why not get drunk and beat them? I hear that deep down they'll love you for it.

I'm in a New York state of mind... If hubby tried to spank me, he'd be in a state of unconsciousness!

This just in. The 50 Shades of Grey series promotes spanking women! *Insert outrage and horror*

I have been skimming a couple of the blogs. I am thinking this is just an excuse to be a bit kinky. If it is not I am more than amazed that any women would allow a man to hit them for any reason.

I've been laughing at this thread since it got posted!

The thought of DH spanking me is :rotfl:
