Did your father beat you because he loved you? Do you love him for it?

Do you feel that you desire your suffering and your pain?

Is your father being a loving father by beating you to show you the way?

Well?

Was he only doing it because he loved you?

This is an example of GLP at its worst.

But, soon everyone will know GLP.

But no OP, my Dad was nice, a good father who never beat me. Does that help you in your quest?

Are you a flawed child that needs punishment to be shown the way?

he loved his liquor more

To be clever is not the same as being wise.

yeah he was neither

the damn crazy schoolteachers were the ones who beat us

no and no my father had a personality disorder and he was jealous of us for receiving affection from our mother

I was talking about you.

There is a deeper message here. Think deeper!

There is a deeper message here. Think deeper!

Never have I witnessed someone transform themselves so selflessly as dear old dad.




------

Are you talking about the god of the bible?

sure, just blame God for everything, but hating God will get you nowhere and then you can spend your days making threads on a conspiracy site, good deal, that's a plan

proverbs
3:12
For the LORD corrects those he loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

No. My dad. He used to hit pretty hard.


------

The point is that very few people even know who the being that they call "god" really is.

Do you? I doubt it.

That explains a lot.

Love your abuser?

Such as?


------

There is beating someone, then there is physical punishment using lashes, belt, switch, paddle in an appropriate manner...

I was subjected to being spanked by many of those items. I thank my dad for correcting me in this manner, because in every case, I was wrong. I hold no ill will toward my dad for doing this; quite the opposite in fact.

My dad never struck me without good cause and he only did so on my behind with one of the items I mentioned above. He never did it out of rage or malice. My three siblings received their fair share of punishment as well when they required physical correction.

So, to answer your question. NO, I would not say your father is loving if he is beating you, but if he is chastising you correctly, then YES, most definitely he is showing that he loves you.

My dad never beat me but he was beaten by my drunk grandfather, pretty bad from the stories I've heard. My dad in turn never drank or abused anyone physically, but he was very indifferent with my grandfather from what I remember. Most everyone just tolerated him but nobody stopped loving him. Even my grandmother who suffered the most by him, he beat up the boy she loved and told her that if she didn't marry him he would kill the other boy. So my grandmother married him so the boy she loved could live.

Hebrews 12:6-11
For whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

We...are...not...talking...about...your...father.

We...are...talking...about...the...god...of...the...bible.

See?

"People are told that "god" loves us when he tortures us and causes us to suffer."

"These are just Stockholm Syndrome victims. They love their own abusers!"

---- I can honestly say that I have not heard one person say what you claim.

To repeat myself.

We...are...not...talking...about...your...father.

We...are...talking...about...the...god...of...the...bible.

See?

My mom beat my ass when I was bad, because she loved me.

She instilled within me a sense of consequence for my actions. I love her with all my heart.

Society was better because of it.
I am better because of it.

Just yesterday, I saw a child whose mom complained loudly about her child's horrible behavior and then turned right around and rewarded it by caving to the child's noisy demands for treats.

I have seen this a million times over. Children have no sense of consequence because libtards equate correction with abuse. They'll piss and moan about how terrible and unruly children are today, and yet they refuse (or are too mentally retarded) to see that they are the root cause.

I'm not so naive as to believe that physical abuse is not a problem, but abuse comes in a variety of flavors, and rearing a child with no respect or sense of consequence is just as abusive, IMO. These children tend to grow even more awful than the people that raise them. That's why each generation grows progressively worse. People whine about the fallout, but don't own up to their failure as parents.

They cry, "I don't understand why my child is so bad! I did everything I could. I'm a good parent and gave them everything they wanted! I don't understand why my child is so rebellious - why my child hates me - why my child does drugs - why my child has sex-... blah blah blah..."

Physical abuse is beating your child without love or direction, in spite and anger...

I carried on my family tradition. I have a firm but very loving relationship with my children and they respect me. They are not maladjusted or spiteful. They know when they screw up and they know when there will be consequences. That will carry through into their adulthood. I love my kids and I always let them know it. Therein lies the difference.

That is why I am here!

Duh!
