Welcome message

Dear friends,

Welcome to my blog. I am honored to have you visit. I hope you'll find my articles a blessing. I welcome your input and especially comments and questions.

I write as a Christian from Jerusalem, Israel about Biblical subjects.

I am particularly interested in the subjects of children, families, women's issues, corporal punishment, science and nature as these subjects relate to the Holy Scriptures.

Thank you Samuel, I posted that meme you mentioned on my facebook. My brother commented "God struck His Son in our place". I removed the comment as even though I only made it visible to the Christians on my list, an argument would look bad. I'm wondering regarding the rest of your blog post, if it's important to attend a church where the pastor is a gentle parenting proponent?

Sue,

Thanks very much for your comment.

As for me, I would not be able to attend any church where the pastor did not share my beliefs, including those of non-violent parenting.

A community of Christians I think needs to focus on peace, charity, reconciliation and redemption. I don't see how telling parents to administer corporal punishment on children fits into that focus.

With every good wish,

Samuel Martin
