Query: Advocates extreme physical abuse on infants

This book recommends begining severe spanking with sticks or plumbing supply lines on an infant's bare skin starting at 4 months. From their own website is this quote "To give up the use of the rod is to give up our views of human nature, God, eternity, judgment, etc. Most of all, to give up the use of the rod is to abandon our children to a fate that is more cruel than jail-a life of self-will and unruliness." I wonder, in following the Old Testament, if they advocate stoning someone for gathering sticks on the Sabbath, or declare your children unclean if they eat pork? They clain it is not abuse if they do not do it in anger, but they have isolated scripture out of context to serve their own evil purposes. This is hideous misinterpretation of scripture. This is not a useful book if you want to train up your children.In february 2006 4 year old Sean Paddock was killed by his adoptive mother who followed the advice of the Pearls.
