False Teachings In The Church That Has Lead To Much Evil

False Teachings In The Church That Has Lead To Much Evil

1. Beating wives into submission. Read Ephesians 5:22-33 very closely. This talks about husbands loving the wife like Christ loves the church. Christ gave Himself for the church. The husband ought to look after his wife and protect, provide, care for her needs and do what is best for her and the wife ought to submit to that so the husband can accomplish that job. Nothing is meantioned in the Bible about beating the wives. Beating your wife would violate Ephesians 5:22-33.

2. Beating children with harsh instruments. I have talked about this in my past posts. Study your Hebrew and you will never find anything in the Bible about using harsh, damaging instruments. "Rod" in Hebrew is a fresh new growth off a branch which gives a sting but does no harm.

3. Shedding blood on children. Looking at Proverbs, Ephesians 6:1-4, Colossians 3:21, and Luke 12:47-48. Combining these together, you will not shed blood. Hebrews 9-10. It is the blood of Jesus that paid for all sin. There is no more any sacrifice needed for sin.

4. Blood penances. See point 3. Blood penances were given since medieval times up until early 20th century. This included spanking until the butt bleeds, whipping backs bloody, and walking on stony surfaces on the knees until the knees bled. People were walking on bloody knees to bring upon the apparition of Mary in 1999.

These types of sacrifices are not necessary when Jesus paid it all. In the history of the church, the things mentioned above (beating wives, beating children with blunt and harsh instruments, shedding blood on children, and blood penances) were practiced for centuries in the church. Some churches practice one or more of these things today, including Muslims and Mormons along with some others.
