Summary
On September 6, 2024, a YouTube video was published by Dead Domain featuring John Anderson, the son of infamous NIFB pastor Steven Anderson, where John publicly accused his parents of severe physical abuse. He also claimed that Steven Anderson beat his wife, Zsuzsanna Anderson, with an electrical cord for "stepping out of line."
These revelations ignited a firestorm of controversy within the New IFB community, leading to fractures in the movement – some defending and others calling for Anderson to step down as pastor.
On September 22, 2024, Steven Anderson delivered a sermon titled Corporal Punishment in the Bible, where he practically admitted to child and spousal abuse under the guise of "biblical discipline."
This video explores the timeline of accusations, Anderson’s shocking response from the pulpit, and the larger fallout within the IFB and NIFB communities.
Watch now to understand how one of the most notorious hate preachers of our time faces the consequences of his actions—and the disturbing defense he uses to justify it all.

| 0:17.0 | A third of the time, I would say, the spankings went into, went beyond what the law |
| 0:23.3 | says is legal. Here's the New Testament version of this, for whom the Lord loveth, he chastenedeth, |
| 0:28.8 | and scourges every son whom he receiveth. And here's what the word scourge means. As a verb to scourge, he scourges every son of me receiveth, to whip with a scourge or a lash. |

| 1:25.0 | It's not surprising at all to find out that he goes home and beats |
