Schaap or Hyles - Who was better at child rearing?

Schaap or Hyles - Who was better at child rearing?

We have seen the results of Bro. Hyles' child rearing methods in the lives of his own children.

We have seen the results of Bro. Schaap's child rearing methods in the lives of his own children.

(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

For if a man know not - Method is a matter of great importance in all the affairs of life. It is a true saying, He that does little with his head must do much with his hands; and even then the business is not half done for want of method.

Now, he who has a proper method of doing business will show it in every affair of life, even the least.

He who has a disorderly family has no government of that family; he probably has none because he has no method, no plan, of presiding.

It was natural for the apostle to say, If a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the Church of God?

Look at a man’s domestic arrangements; if they be not good, he should not be trusted with any branch of government, whether ecclesiastical or civil.


We can now look back and compare the two.

Do the results validate the methods?

Any takers?

Good thread and very thought provoking.  Whatever you think of Schaap, as far as I know, his kids are serving the Lord, whether you agree with them or not in their methods/motives.

The results do not validate the method any more than the method ensures the results.

We do not know what methods these men used.  We only know what they told us they did, not what they actually did in total.

 

[Binaca Chugger]

Some children "turn out" (a horribly IFB humanistic way of looking at things, but, okay) despite the methods of their parents, not because of the method of their parents.

Some children "fail" despite the methods of their parents, not because of the methods of their parents.

Answer:  Only God knows.
