From the first glance‚ these passages seem to be very clear that the Bible advocates corporal punishment. However‚ upon further examination‚ there are several flaws in Pastor Handy’s evidence. First is the fact that Pastor Handy only provides four verses in his sermon and that all of these verses are from the same book of the Bible.
