The New Testament of the Bible doesn't forbid physical discipline of unruly or disobedient children. But it presents a spiritual environment, and a clear spiritual walk, where we should be very cautious and circumspect about violence. Nee's adjuncts to violence, a tub of cold water and a towel, don't seem sufficient at all.
