Proverbs 23:14 (Whole Chapter)
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell


Proverbs 23:13 (Whole Chapter)
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die



30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Does beating your child with a rod deliver his soul from hell? If so, we have a new plan of salvation.

And beating him, doesn't cause eternal life, either.

You're going to have to come up with different scriptures to convince me, because I can't take the ones in Proverbs literally as I illustrated.

What do them scriptures mean? what does beat with a rod mean?
