Ephesians 6:4 "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

Psalm 127:3-5 "Children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate".

Also, many of the New Testament scriptures that highlight God's role as a father to us are a pattern for human fathers to follow.

There are many references in The Bible, King James Version, that refer to fathers:

Proverbs 4:1-2 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

(Pro 23:22) Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

(Pro 23:23) Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

(Eph 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

(Eph 6:2) Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

(Eph 6:3) That it may be well with thee, and thou may live long on the earth.

(Eph 6:4) And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

(Col 3:20) Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

(Col 3:21) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

How is The Bible perfect?

A:Whether to regard the Bible as perfect depends on what standards you wish to apply to it. Is what the Bible says always scientifically correct? No - for example, the order of creation is Genesis chapter 1 is incorrect and does not even make sense scientifically.Is what the Bible says always historically correct? No, there are many instances in which the biblical authors make historically inaccurate assertions.Does the Bible ever contain contradictions? Yes. There are often contradictions between information in one book and another, and even between two passages in the same book.Does the Bible contain doublets - two or more versions of the same story? Yes, and at most only one of them could be true.Are the books of the Bible always attributed to the correct authors, with no room for doubt about authorship? No. Many books are attributed to one author, but biblical scholars say that a completely different author or source (group of authors) actually wrote the book.Have any of the books of the Bible ever been altered or added to since first written? Yes, undoubtedly, and quite often.Did the New Testament authors rely on the Hebrew scriptures when looking for Old Testament references, or did they rely on the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the scriptures? They relied on the Septuagint and in some cases introduced errors from that mistranslation into their own works.If these were some of the standards that you should apply to the Bible, then it is not perfect.
