Proverbs 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him.."
Can the message be any clearer?
We are not talking about child abuse , we are talking about a paddling when a child misbehaves.
Who are these "judges" that feel they can overrule the laws of Heaven? Why are we not demanding their jobs? Why is this country not outraged at an invasion into our family homes and not at this un-Godly sentencing?
Wake Up America!
Do you believe that parents should be able to spank their children?
Do you ever express that opinion to others? If so, then you could be
sent to prison. Sadly, that is exactly what happened to one pastor up
in Wisconsin recently. A minister named Philip Caminiti was sentenced to 2 years in prison
for simply teaching that parents should spank their children when they misbehave.
Please note that Caminiti was not accused of spanking anyone
or of physically hurting anyone. He was put in prison simply for his
speech. He was put in prison simply for what he was teaching others to
do. Whether you agree with spanking or not, this should be incredibly
sobering for all of us. Increasingly, speech is being penalized in the
United States. Much of the time, the focus of the attacks by the forces
of political correctness is on religious speech. If this trend
continues, many of you that are reading this article might be put in
jail for the things that you say in the coming years.
When many of us were growing up, once in a while our parents would
take out a belt or a wooden paddle and give us a paddling on the behind
when we did something wrong.
Was there anything wrong with that?
Of course not.
Yes, there is real child abuse that goes on out there, but in the
vast majority of instances spanking does not do any lasting physical
harm. Rather, it benefits the child because it helps them learn what is
right and what is wrong.
I know that when I got a licking on the behind as a child that helped me to remember not to do the same thing again.
But Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi was absolutely horrified that some parents would actually use a wooden spoon to spank their little children when they misbehaved.
Perhaps that judge should actually try to spank someone with a wooden
spoon some time. You simply cannot do much damage with a wooden spoon.
Instead of going after the parents who were doing the spanking,
prosecutors chose to go after the pastor instead. They claimed that
Caminiti was "the spoke in the wheel of this conspiracy".
Even after Caminiti leaves prison, he will be forbidden from having any contact with his old church....
Caminiti will be on extended supervision for six years after his release from prison. Despite objections on constitutional grounds by Caminiti's lawyers, Sumi ordered that he not have any contact with the Aleitheia Bible Church and have no leadership role in any church.
What in the world has happened to this country?
Criminal predators are literally eating the faces off of people, and yet authorities want to go after pastors that are encouraging their congregations to follow the teachings of the Bible?
Have we stepped into a really bizarre episode of The Twilight Zone?
