Santa Claus: Why Santa should not threaten to bring coal for Christmas

'Tis Christmastime once more. Many children are awaiting a visit from Santa Claus. However, Santa currently has a "nice" list and a "naughty" list. Most American parents use Santa as a form of behavioral modification. The naughty list has to go, as its only purpose is to scare children. Scaring children at all is child abuse.

God's Law on child abuse is spelled out in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement, with this entitlement including any parent anger directed towards children. Threatening children with Santa hurts a child's feelings, and when parents defend their so-called "right" to upset their child, it becomes child abuse. If you have hurt your child's feelings in this regard, you should apologize to children by telling them "I talked to Santa, and he does not deliver coal for Christmas. I was wrong". This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandment, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents who brought into the church their pagan ways of parenting, which were punitive in nature/ Paul, contrary to popular legend, opposed any and all punitive parenting in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men.

A true gift comes with no strings attached. A true gift comes from love. Love is defined in the Bible as giving without receiving. The idea is to give your child everything that they ask for, and expect absolutely nothing in return for giving that gift that makes the child's day. Children shouldn't have to be "nice" in order to receive gifts. 

The Early Christians had no concept of a gift-bringer. Christmas came at the same day, but it was simply an observance of Christ's birthday. Most Christian parents then handed their children gifts in person. The gift giving symbolized the Three Kings bestowing gifts for the Christ Child. The concept of Santa was alien to the Early Christians, as was the commercialism that often plagues modern Christmas.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Back talk: Why to apologize when your child talks back to you

Back talk is a common problem parents face in their children. Most children talk back at some point in their childhood. However, most parents think that talking back to parents is deserving of punishment in a child. However, the fact of the matter is that a child who talks back cannot accept a limit, and thus parents need to apologize, lest they be seen by God as being abusive towards their children.

God's Law on child abuse is spelled out in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to offenses or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement, with this entitlement including any parent anger directed towards a child. The idea behind not abusing children is to avoid offense in children. The key to avoiding offending your child is to be willing to give a meaningful apology whenever you hurt your child's feelings, lest it be officially an offense. One way children show emotional pain when they are older is by talking back. Back talk happens when children cannot accept a set limit, in which case that is a good time to apologize by way of reassuring the child of your good intent. A good way to reassure a child of your good intent is to say "I'm sorry, but I had to set X limit for Y reasons". However, if you yourself ever lose your cool when setting a limit, you should definitely apologize to your child, and then commit never to losing your cool ever again as a parent, as losing your cool as a parent, in and of itself, is entitlement. Most back talk simply involves a child not being able to accept a limit, and thus they need you to apologize whenever you hurt their feelings in that regard. This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandment, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents who brought into the church their pagan ways of parenting, which were punitive in nature. Paul, contrary to popular legend, opposed any and all punitive parenting in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men.

Back talk is not something to take personally in a child. All back talk amounts to in an older child is a child not being able to accept a set limit. This behavior is most common in school age children. Whenever your child talks back, take a deep breath, and know that your child simply needs help accepting a limit. One way to help them is to apologize for upsetting them with that limit that they cannot accept.

The main reason for spanking, now and in Ancient Greece, is "disrespect" in a child. Children in Ancient Greece were usually given a spanking to the bare bottom when children talked back. Paul would have none of it in the church, and so he convicted the Greek Christians of their punitive pagan ways of parenting with his inspired pen.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Child abuse definitions: Why the Bible calls for expanding child abuse definitions

Many parents think that the ancients in the Bible had no concept of childhood, let alone child abuse. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents support the current child abuse definitions. However, the Bible had its own definition of child abuse - whatever the child victim perceives as abuse.

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement consists of a parent that is sorely disappointed when they don't get what they feel that they deserve from children. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing from children just for existing. Any parent anger directed towards children was seen as parental entitlement then, and was roundly condemned as such. Whenever this sense of entitlement in parents was perceived by a child as offensive or damaging, it was deemed child abuse. See also Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to offenses or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including. but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement, with this entitlement including any parent anger directed towards a child. Child abuse in the Bible, as a legal concept, is defined as entitlement in parents, leading to offense in children. The key to avoiding abusing your child is to avoid offense in your child. The idea behind avoiding offense in children is to be willing to meaningfully apologize whenever you hurt your child's feelings, lest it officially be an offense. Most of the time, a reassurance of good intent is all that is necessary. However, if you ever lose your cool as a parent, you definitely need to give a formal apology, and then commit never to losing your cool with your child ever again, as losing your cool as a parent, in and of itself, is entitlement. However, even refusing to apologize to a child at all is entitlement, such as even when you bump into a child in public without saying "sorry". This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandments, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents who brought into the church their pagan custom of patrias potestas, which is a Latin phrase roughly translating to "power to the parent", including the power to impose punitive measures on children, such as spanking and other forms of punishment of children. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punitive parenting in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men. 

The Greek root word translated "they be discouraged" is αθυμέω (Latin: athumeo) and refers here to long-term damages, including childhood trauma. The ancients had a basic understanding of childhood trauma. Whenever a child grew up to be atheist, it was seen as a sign of trauma, not a sign of a "lost soul".

The ancients even had a concept of child sexual abuse. The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and meant, in context, any sexual relations outside of proper ventricles. Proper ventricles for a man included sex with his wife, and/or righteous masturbation without pornography. This word prohibits any sexual advances directed towards a child, including any rape or sexual assault of a child. Any sexual interaction between an adult and a child was deemed child sexual abuse then, even if the child liked it Child sexual abuse was rare in biblical times, meaning next to non-existent. 

Child abuse was prosecuted by the Early Church in the form of an internal investigation. Usually, the investigated with a child confiding into a church clergyperson about the abuse that they were enduring. The elders then called the parents before the council, and if the parents were defensive at all, they were swiftly excommunicated from the Early Christian Churches of God. The child then went either with the other parent, or in the case of both parents, non-offending pedophiles took in the children as foster parents.

The Bible is an anti-spanking document, with all 88 books of the Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - being written by Jews, with no Jew worth mentioning ever defending or even condoning the punitive treatment of children. All of the biblical writers recommended attachment parenting in their secular writings. Even King Solomon recommended attachment parenting for the little ones in his secular writings, with the rod of correction referring to the 40 minus 1 lashes as an adult son's sentence for a crime. 

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. We as a society glean from the Bible and its context as to how to live and treat each other with respect. Even our legal codes come from our Judeo-Christian values. However, the Bible was grossly mistranslated at the Latinate level. This was partly intentional - in order to keep a pagan tradition going. Spanking children was a pagan tradition in Ancient Greece, and it clearly was prohibited in Col. 3:21.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Adult attraction to children: Individual responsibility for adults sexually attracted to children

Many parents and adults alike blame pedophiles for the child sexual abuse epidemic. Most adults automatically blame pedophiles for every case of a sexually abused child. However, all of us as adults are collectively individually to blame for the child sexual abuse epidemic. 

Every single adult is responsible for the sexual abuse of children, as any old adult is capable of sexually abusing a child under the right/wrong condition. Most sexual abuse happens to teenage girls, and is committed by an ordinary adult man without a single other offense under their belt. Most men are attracted to teenage girls, and when men are alone with a teenage girl, they are likely to offend against a child.

Child sexual abuse does not usually come from pedophiles. It instead comes from adults repressing their sex drive for adolescents. Whenever you repress something as powerful as a sex drive, you risk it coming out sideways onto an unsuspecting child, like a ton of bricks. 

Pedophilia itself does not usually lead to child sexual abuse, Most pedophiles are painfully aware of their sexual desires, but feel it in the form of urges. When pedophiles feel urges, it is because they are trying to deny something that can't viscerally be denied. Most pedophiles who rape children have a mental disability, and don't understand the boundaries with children. Sometimes, a pedophile thinks they are cured, and that is the last thing a child needs - because they are simply feeling it under the hood, at the unaware level. 

I myself have committed sexual abuse of a child. I myself committed sexual harassment of children, usually in the case of street harassment. I am currently under investigation for a case of sexual harassment with a cousin in the attic of my grandparent's house. I was an obvious abuser who engaged in infatuation grooming, Most pedophiles aren't like me, and have a squeaky clean record in relation to children in terms of even lawful child abuse. A pedophile is the last person to abuse a child in any way.

Most career sexual abusers of children are not pedophiles, but are simply ordinary rapists. It is one thing if someone is a pedophile, but are they a rapist? That question is what survivors need to know. Usually, career rapists have a bunch of adult victims, but also have a few child victims that are made of note by the police. Most pedophiles who are career sex offenders think they are cured, right up until their first offense, and then they run with their desires. 

The key to righteous avoidance in parents is righteous masturbation. Righteous masturbation comes without pornography, meaning solely for health reasons. The idea is to face your child fantasies head on, and masturbate to the first child that comes to mind. This usually has to happen once or twice, and brings the adult to a place of relief. If you need more than that, and need it all of the time, you are a pedophile, and need to own up to it. The Greek root word denoting lust in the Bible is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers here to being in lust, meaning having a sexual narcissist. The way to purge unrequired lusts is to masturbate without pornography. Pornography is the new drug, not masturbation. Just masturbate to the first child that comes to mind. That alone should kick the pornography habit. I once had a pornography habit for a very short phase of my life, but I masturbated to the first inage that came to mind on my own, and then the habit was gone. Most men in the Early Church had an amendment to their theology to fit in masturbation in at least some of the time,

Some of us need further restrictions on ourselves. I myself do not ever speak to children unless spoken to by them. I char and tar the every sexual possibility with children with images of Hell. I usually became infatuated with children when I spoke to them. The idea is to avoid speaking to children, as if that leads to an infatuation, I am in danger of mortal sin. If you see me obsess about a child, know that I am an abuser in that context, and need to be kept on watch. I myself saw possibilities with children that weren't there. I can interact with children, but only on their terms, meaning if they come to me first. Until then, interacting with a child is an infraction under my Christian beliefs. Most pedophiles don't need this sort of restriction, but I lacked boundaries in the past, and so I need to know the limits. I actually thought that talking to children as a stranger was appropriate behavior in relation to children. Most pedophilic sexual offenses happen in the same obvious way, meaning the child victim is a target of an obsession that revolves around the child. Most pedophiles know the boundaries.

To repeat, if you see me post about an obsession about a specific child, you know that I am in abuser mode. I am an obvious abuser, meaning I am obsessive about a child in a way that makes it obvious. I am an easy adult abuser to spot, and once I develop that spark, I will have to talk it out with my mom, who is my accountability partner. My mother is a safe person for me to talk about anything with, as she is trained in the field of mental health. I also have a therapist to talk to. I think every pedophile needs someone to talk to about their risk of sexually offending, meaning in the form of clinical celebratory disclosure. However, obsessions about children happen when I speak to a child whom I do not know, and so I can simply look at a child respectfully and fantasize later about her. Btu, if a parent asks if I am a pedophile, I have to answer to the court and plead "yea", and accept the consequences for my plead. 

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!

Passing down the faith: How to instruct your children in the Lord without punitive measures

Many parents think that children need religion. Religion is a normal need for children and adults alike. However, most parents think that religion needs to be forced onto a child, such as forcing a child to go to church. However, parents don't need to break a child's will in order to teach them about the good news of Jesus Christ. Make it a game.

God's Law on passing down the faith is spelled out in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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

This stanza of the commandment clarifies that religious instruction should not hurt. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers here to offenses or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. It is not enough to stop spanking or punishing children - you need to avoid offense in your child. However, hurting children's feelings is inevitable in parenting, in which case you as a parent should be willing to give a meaningful apology whenever you cause upset in your child, lest it officially be an offense. But, if you ever lose your cool as a parent, you should definitely apologize to your child, and then commit never to lose your cool ever again, as losing your cool as a parent, in and of itself, is entitlement. This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandments, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents in the parish at Ephesus who brought into the church their pagan custom of patrias potestas, which is a Latin phrase roughly translating to "power to the parent", including the power to impose punitive sanctions on a child, such as spanking or other forms of punishment. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men.

This second stanza has to do partially with proper religious instruction, which comes in light of the first stanza prohibiting anything punitive with a child. Religion is a human need for children, and thus punitive measures in religious instruction are wholly unnecessary. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and is better translated as "instruction" in more modern versions of the Bible. Religious instruction then started at age 6, when fathers left out a Bible for children to discover and explore. When children were caught in the act of studying the Bible, they were given praise and encouragement in their biblical studies. Fathers then said "you can ask me any question about that book". From there, religious instruction came in question and answer format, with children being eager to learn about Scripture, and with fathers giving pointers as to the context. Religious instruction was made into a game, meaning it was intended as fun for the children. Maybe the child found different denominational beliefs, but at least they had values.

Many Christian parents believe in the false teaching of breaking a child's will. This is a common setup in Christian households, where children are repeated beaten until they "submit to Christ". Children have a human need for religion, and thus they don't need to associate it with punishment or force. That setup is the core creator of atheists nationwide. Children do not need a will broken when there is no will there to begin with. A child is simply a big ball of primal instinct, and should be treated with respect to that vulnerability.

Children develop religion on their own. There is no need to force things such as grateful postures - they develop them naturally when they reach a certain level of perfection. Grateful postures are simply something to look for, for good spiritual health. I tie my hands behind my back automatically - nobody made me.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke your children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Child discipline: Understanding the Judeo-Christian tradition of positive reinforcement

Many parents want their children to have discipline  This is a common wish amongst American parents. However, most American parents equate discipline with punishment. However, the fact of the matter is that children need discipline, but minus the punishment that comes with it in most American homes.

God's Law on child discipline is spelled out in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: bur bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The first stanza of this commandment clarifies that discipline should not hurt. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers here to offenses or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement, with this entitlement including any parent anger directed towards a child. It is not enough to stop spanking or punishing children - you need to avoid offense in children. However, hurting your child's feelings is inevitable in parenting, and thus a parent should be willing to meaningfully apologize for hurting their children's feelings. Usually, all that is necessary is a reassurance of good intentions. However, if you lose your cool with your child, you should definitely give a formal apology to your child, then commit never to lose your cool with your child ever again, as losing your cool as a parent alone is entitlement. This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandments, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents in the parish at Ephesus that brought into the church their pagan custom of patrua potestas, which is a Latin phrase roughly translating to "power to the parent", including the power to impose punitive sanctions on children, such as spanking or other forms of punishment. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punitive parenting in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men. 

This second stanza spells out what discipline is acceptable, with the first stanza ruling out anything punitive with a child. The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to a specific form of nurturing, namely of the teaching sort. Children were left to form their own discipline, and when this discipline showed in a child, they were given lavish praise and encouragement to keep up the good work. Christian parents in the Early Church set a good example for children to follow, but backed it up with praise and encouragement, not punishment and force. Children also need religious instruction, as religion is a human need for children and adults alike. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and is more aptly translated as "instruction"  in more modern versions of the Bible. Starting at age 6, fathers left out a Bible for children to discover and explore. When a child was caught in the act of studying the Bible, they were lavishly praised and encouraged in their religious learning, with fathers then saying "you can ask me anything about that book". From there, religious instruction came in question and answer format, with children being eager to learn about Scripture, and with fathers giving pointers on the context. This stanza here spells out the Judeo-Christian tradition of positive reinforcement, with this Hebraic tradition predating the coming of Christ by thousands of years, and was a long-standing Jewish tradition long before the New Testament was even written.

Children also need limits from time to time. However, children are known for not accepting all limits set. It helps to have a secure attachment to your child. However, even then, children sometimes have trouble accepting a limit. When your child doesn't accept a necessary limit, they should be given an apology in the form of reassurance of good intent. However, if you ever set a limit out of anger, you should give a formal apology to your child, and then commit never to lose your cool again as a parent, as parent anger, when directed towards a child, in and of itself, is entitlement/

Anger was never used as a guiding drive in parenting in the Early Church. Anger was only allowed in parenting in the case that parents needed to protect a child from harm and abuse. Anger was never allowed to be directed towards a child, as this was seen then as a viper lashing out at an unsuspecting child.

It is a myth that children were administered "hand-me-down-the-slate" gaslighting. Sexual correction of a child was banned in the Early Church. Fathers did have parent attractions towards their child, in which case he masturbated to sexual thoughts of his child. This righteous masturbation ultimately is how fathers imprinted on their child. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to wrath through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Santa Claus: Why Santa shouldn't even threaten to bring coal for Christmas

'Tis Christmastime once more. Most children are waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus to come to tpown. However, Santa has standards for children. They must be good all year, or else face getting coal for Christmas. However, Santa should not bring coal for Christmas just because a child was being a child and acting up, as this alone is child abuse. The naughty list has got to go.

God's Law on child abuse is spelled out in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger: is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to offenses or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement, with this entitlement including any parent anger directed towards a child. Threatening children with Santa bringing coal hurts a child's feelings, and thus if you have said this to your child, you as a parent should say to apologize "I talked to Santa, and he doesn't ever bring coal. I was wrong.", lest the upset in a child officially become an offense. This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandments, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christian parents who insisted on the pagan custom of parenting, which was punitive in nature. Paul, contrary to popular legend, opposed any and all punitive parenting in his secular writings. Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men.

Any time you threaten a child like that, you hurt their feelings, and when you defend these parenting tactics, it officially becomes an offense. It usually causes children to worry if they will get presents. Christmas should be a time of giving, not a time to try and control a child's behaviors with even feigned threats of Santa leaving a bucket of coal.

A gift is something given without strings attached. True love for your child is giving without receiving. You give gifts to your child, and expect absolutely nothing in return. This form of Christian love, spread all around on Christmas day, is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to giving to children without expecting anything in return. That means don't expect children to behave in order to get presents come Christian morning.

Christmas was a solemn holiday in the Early Church. There was no Santa Claus then. Instead, parents gave their children presents at a gift exchange. There is never a recorded case of parents even threatening to not give children presents. Christmas happened only for a day, and did not have the commercialism that exists in American Christmas. Christ was the center of Christmas, not the gifts given to children. The gifts were symbolic of the Christ child receiving gifts from the three kings/ 

The depraved and entitled parents who threaten children with gifts will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into the Hell of fire and torment, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!
