As
a duty through covenant with GOD, Israel executed corporal punishment
against juvenile delinquents and incorrigible sons (see photo
reference below).
Today,
reply is on accepting correction and punishment from ones parents.
The topics considered include forgiveness, mercy, repentance, the
needs of community, and how becoming sealed by divinity cuts off all
possibilities both for further corruption and for further positive
change within an offender’s
spirit. In addition to providing justice, the operations of judgment
from GOD are to crystallize and make known the unseen effects and
spirit outcomes of finite, visible actions and deeds. The work of
forgiveness to build up, encourage, heal and continue healthy
relationship also is to call forth spiritual change; the operations
of conscience; remorse; resolve to recover, renew and restore; and
sorrowing for sin that appears as repentance. A fighter in the
“Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality who

If
god always shows mercy when we repent and forgives, how come I have
said sorry to my parents and still MUST suffer punishment ?
I
got caught shoplifting alcohol from a local shopkeeper as I am only
15 and the shopkeeper knows my mum he called my mum instead of the
police, she told the shopkeeper I would be severely punished.
I
told my mum I was REALLY sorry , and she made me apologise to the
shopkeeper, both my parents said I was forgiven but I MUST be
punished with lockdown , so I learn my lesson, tomorrow after school
I will be escorted to my bedroom and LOCKED IN for the weekend, I
wont be allowed tv or any entertainment,
I
will only be let out for the bathroom, lights out and bed 9pm (
PRISON )
I
will have to write a 4 page essay on why its wrong to steal,
a
4 page essay on unacaptable behaviour and punishments,
I
WILL HAVE TO SUFFER 4 WEEKENDS OF THIS POXY LOCKDOWN PUNISHMENT WHAT
HAPPEND TO FORGIVESS
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity
of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against
me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; And that I also
have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land
of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and
they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I
remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and
also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember
the land. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall
accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because
they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my
statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their
enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to
destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am
the LORD their God. But I will for their sakes
remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of
the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their
God: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 26:
40-45, King James Version, KJV)

“goodgirlbecky”,
following a passage from the covenant law granted to Israel that would
establish them as a people of GOD and an example to all the other
nations on the earth, here are some points to consider that should be
helpful among teens and sinners who have chosen to exist as
developing Christian believers:
Deuteronomy
21: 18-21, King James Version (KJV): 18 If a man have a stubborn
and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or
the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened
him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his
mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his
city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the
elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious,
he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he
die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel
shall hear, and fear.
1.
In the same way parents are held accountable in the law, and must
make the otherwise invisible affection, authority, and presence
of divinity knowable and known to their own children, they are to
help their young ones realize the divine condemnation and unseen
damage, loss, and ruin that results from disobedience, lawlessness,
and rebellion. Simple actions and behavior, even when intended
selfishly and only for ourselves, often have consequences that last
indefinitely, are far-reaching, and are widespread.
2.
The natural process of human development goes forward through such
elements as aging, discovery, gradual growth, demonstrations of
proper conduct, instruction, and risk-taking along with
trial-and-error. However, the permanent changes that must occur to
result in acceptable attitudes and behavior also have to appear
within the makeup of ones spirit and self-will (we also say,
willpower).
3.
Among mature believers, judgment is an aspect of divine blessing
because correction, impartiality, mercy, restraint, and righteousness
are displayed. Peace is always the outcome of divine judgment, for
conflict is resolved, disputes are settled, and respect is restored
by applying the sanctions and standards proclaimed within sacred law.
By contrast, the outcomes of warfare are not lasting, and usually
include anger, bitterness, resentment, and the desire for vengeance
that sparks a renewal of hostilities and war.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. Simply talking, explaining things,
and using verbal encouragements are not sufficient to bring about
change and repentance. Also, it has been shown that punishment is
only effective where a person is still growing, and not after they
have grown and are sealed (i.e., divinity will no longer add to or
reduce their sacred content). To accept judgment and punishment is
to acknowledge the righteousness in the law and in the Lawgiver.
Properly understood, punishment goes beyond retribution (eye for an
eye), beyond the death sentence, and beyond forcing someone to
themselves endure the pain or suffering they have imposed on others.
Punishment can introduce order and structure to be internalized that
are separate and from outside of the offender. Their character and
nature must still include the inseparable elements of life essence
from divinity (i.e., breath; spirit; word). Included as a fresh
endowment of spirit from the makeup of GOD are faith holiness,
longsuffering, lovingkindness, meekness, personhood, wisdom and wrath
against sin.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it
unto you according to your faith.
