Back to List of Topics

This is the temporary layout for topic pages. For now this will just be a short description followed by a list of relevant verses. Later on, the verses will be organized into a comprehensive explanation of the topic.

Family is a structured sphere of authority, made distinct from and protected from certain forms of government interference. Heads-of-household are given wide discretion to distinguish the best means to discipline and train their families in righteousness, and certain civil penalties (such as the capital penalty for being a stubborn and rebellious burden on society in Deuteronomy 21:18-21) can only be invoked by parents. This topic will discuss that authority and assess its scope by an examination of the relevant scriptures.

List verses which belong to this topic below:

• Genesis 9:1
• Genesis 1:28
