Pedophilia awareness month: Mental health awareness for pedophiles

Many parents worry about their child falling prey to a child rapist. This is a common and normal worry amongst parents everywhere. However, most people think pedophiles are to blame for the epidemic of child sexual abuse. This month is pedophilia awareness month. That means we shine a light on the rare mental disorder that is pedophilia. It isn't what you think it is.

A pedophile is not an anger packet directed towards children. A pedophile is a human being with a sexual preference for children under age 14, in the form of arrested sexual development. Most pedophiles have a form of immature autism with the narrow focus being on children and childhood. Pedophilia is a genetic disorder falling on the genetic lines of autism. Most autistic people do not have pedophilia, but most pedophiles have a child-centered form of autism. Most adults with autism find children to be "too noisy" or "too chaotic". Thus, when someone with autism does get along naturally with children, think pedophile, but the right type. A pedophile usually has trauma of some sort, in most cases in the form of parent trauma. 

Pedophilia is arguably the most stigmatized mental health disorder out there. Most people who ally themselves with pedophiles blame trauma survivors for the societal hysteria concerning pedophiles. However, the hysteria predates survivors by a long time. When Rome took over the Western Christian Church, Pope Constantine issued an ex-cathedra statement stating that when someone admitted to sexual attractions to children, that "all friends and family must disperse". The word "pedophile" was intended by Viennese psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing as a means to excuse adults attracted to children from this fate. Not only were pedophiles banned, but also siding with a pedophile. Hence, trauma survivors have long advocated for pedophiles by attracting just the right opposition to their anti-pedophile proposals. Most trauma survivors know that a pedophile can have trauma, but they made up a falsehood in order to be corrected by a pedophile. 

A pedophile can be a survivor in their own right, meaning pedophiles are usually fully aware of trauma from the time that they were abused as children. Most people need to dig a little to get to childhood trauma. A pedophile is inherently traumatized when they are abused by parents or other adults. We as a movement are winning over pedophiles currently, following the Danish model of pedophile inclusion in a children's rights movement. 

A pedophile is a person with a valid mental health disorder. Pedophilia in and of itself becomes a disorder officially when the pedophile needs therapy. Most pedophilia can be treated in an outpatient setting, meaning all they need is to give a clinical celebratory disclosure to a therapist. Most trauma-informed professionals know how to treat a pedophile, and I helped with that by being a case study for survivors and other professionals to understand from. A pedophile needs to be allowed to masturbate to sexual thoughts of children. Solo masturbation without pornography does not lead to more masturbation, but instead leads to less masturbation - the more you masturbate as a pedophile, the less you need to. 

Most child sexual abuse is not committed by pedophiles. Child sexual abuse usually is a crime of opportunity, meaning a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rape a child. Usually, it is intended as a policing form of abuse against "child immodesty". Most child rapists have a sexual preference for adults, but target children who are sexually threatening to them in terms of "immodesty".. 

A pedophile is capable of sexually abusing a child, much like every single adult is. However, most pedophilic offenses against children are not done with intent to harm, meaning the pedophile simply was unaware of the boundaries in relation to children. The most common form of pedophile rape is committed by an abuser with a low IQ. Other than that, moat abuser pedophiles are obvious abusers in their sexual harassment of children. 1 in 4 pedophiles are guilty of child sexual abuse. Most pedophiles are aware of the boundaries, and painfully so since they are morbidly afraid of sexually abusing a child.

Most pedophile self-hatred comes from the fear in the pedophile that they might sexually abuse a child. Most pedophiles do care about children, but they fail to understand that their fear of abusing a child sexually makes them a good person, not a bad person. An anguished pedophile disclosure is not a form of manipulation, but is a pedophile being afraid of doing something that they never will. Being told that they have a "date with the devil" from professionals is the last thing a pedophile needs. Even if they have urges, those urges come from fear of something that is never going to happen, meaning that whenever you fight back sexual desires that inherent in nature, they come back as urges. 

I myself have abused a child sexually in the past. My main modus operandi was street harassment. I also committed sexual harassment in the attic with a female cousin of mine. I am currently under investigation for a rape that never happened. However, there is a kernel of truth in most false accusations. I never committed rape in my lifetime, but I did my share of sexual harassment. I did not mean harm at all with my actions, and so the police let it go and charged the false accusators with making a false child abuse report. Two aunts and an uncle made a false and fraudulent prediction that I would commit a string of rapes starting with a cousin. I know the boundaries now, thanks to my Christian faith. I struggled with boundaries in the past. I am grateful for the grace afforded by the police, as I deserve none of it. I have learned that a false accusation does not go on your criminal record, as the police shred all of the documents pertaining to your case. All the police had to do was issue a warning on my doorstep for summary harassment. The police then believed the false accusation, and then they were replaced by police who were not promised a false raid. My little cousin would never lie about me abusing her, meaning she was falsely accused by the police then of being a rape victim. I stand by my cousin, and don't think she is guilty of anything.

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

Defiance: Why not to punish a defiant child

Many parents have had to deal with it. A child acting defiant to parents. This is a common and normal behavior in children. What most parents do not understand is that children aren't out to get parents with their defiance. They just cannot accept a limit set by parents. Punishing a child for being defiant constitutes child abuse under God's Law.

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 offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. The key to not abusing your child is to avoid offense in your child. Just as hurt feelings are inevitable in relations between adults, hurt feelings are also inevitable in children when dealing with them. Thus, in order to avoid offense in children, you need to be willing to give a meaningful apology whenever your hurt your child's feelings. Usually, all that is necessary is a reassurance of good intent, in the form of a half-apology, in the case of a limit that a child cannot accept not set out of anger, such as "I'm sorry, but I had to set X limit for Y reasons". However, if you ever lose your cool with your child as a parent, including while setting limits, you definitely need to give a formal apology to children for hurting their feelings with your anger, such as "I apologize for losing my cool with you", and then commit never to lose your cool with your child ever again, as parent anger directed towards children alone is entitlement, and was seen as entitlement in the Early Church. One thing that hurts a child's feelings is when they cannot accept a set limit. One way children express their displeasure for set limits is by acting defiant to parents. This is not intended by the child as an attempt to "undermine parental authority". Children have trouble accepting limits as a normal stage of development. The key is to apologize to your child whenever they cannot accept a limit, and mean it, even if it is just a half-apology to reassure a child of good intent in parents. This commandment cross-references the Eighth and the Tenth Commandments, with the Apostle Paul here convicting a group of Greek Christians who brought into the church their pagan custom of patrias potestas, which is a Latin phrase roughly translating to "power to the parent", namely the power to impose punitive sanctions on children, such as spanking or 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. 

Defiance is not an attempt for a child to "undermine parental authority". Instead, defiance is normal behavior in children. Usually, children who act defiant cannot accept a set limit. Thus, they need help working through their upset, namely with an apology to children. 

Most parents punish defiant children due to anger. Most parents focus on their parent anger towards children as a means to run away from dealing with their trauma from punitive parenting. However, the Early Church banned parent anger directed towards children, and deemed it entitlement, and then deemed it child abuse in the case that the child was offended or damaged by your anger.

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!

"Benign" deprivation: Why telling "no" to children "frequent and often" can be seen as child abuse

Many parents buy into the parenting doctrine of "benign" deprivation. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Ultimately, this parenting doctrine amounts to "frequent and often" use of the word "no". However, the fact of the matter is that frequent use of the word "no" alone can been seen as 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 or damages, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. The key to not abusing your child is to avoid offense in children. Part of avoiding offense in children is to only use the word "no" as a parent when absolutely necessary, meaning almost never. The idea is to find every reason to say "yes" to a child, as opposed to finding every reason to tell a child "no". However, sometimes you need to tell a child "no". In the case that the word "no" is necessary, and a child cannot accept the declination of requests, you need to give a meaningful apology whenever you hurt your child's feelings, lest it officially be an offense. Usually, all that is necessary is a reassurance of good intent, in the form of a half-apology, in the case of a child not being able to accept the word "no" when not given out of anger, such as "I'm sorry, but I had to set X limit for Y reasons". However, if you ever lose your cool with your child as a parent, including when saying "no", you definitely need to give a formal apology to your child for hurting their feelings with your anger, such as "I apologize for losing my temper with you", and then commit never to losing your cool with your child ever again, as any parent anger directed towards children is entitlement, and was seen as entitlement. 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 parenting customs, which were punitive in nature. Paul, contrary to popular writings, 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.

Most "benign" deprivation is motivated by parent anger directed towards children. However, parent anger towards children in the Bible was a banned emotion in parenting. Any time a parent got angry with their child, it was seen by Christian culture then as akin to a viper lashing out at its prey - maybe the child got a warning, but not by much. Parents then largely did not get angry with a child, and if they did, they stuck out like a weed. The word "no" should only be used in the case of worry or concern in parents, meaning never anger.

Telling children "no" all of the time can be seen as child abuse as perceived by the child. It is okay to say "no" to children rarely, when necessary. However, saying "no" all of the time can lead to child abuse in terms of offenses. Parents then found ways to say "no" nicer with alternative phrases to the word "no", such as "that can't happen", "that won't work", or "that isn't possible". 

A common place of contention between parents is in the store. Most parents say "no" to everything their child gets off the shelf. However, you as a parent should give them that candy bar. You most certainly can afford it, so what is the big deal? In proper parenting, children should see their parents as the bringer of good things, not a menace to be feared. In the Early Church, parents let their children pick licorice off the shelf whenever they so pleased, and allowing for those things helped gel a secure bond with children. If you truly cannot afford it, you put it back if they won't. 

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!

Redefining child abuse: 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 misconception about the Bible. Most parents instead support today's child abuse definitions. However, the Bible has its own definition of child abuse - whatever the child victim perceives as abuse. Most all of our legal codes here in the United States are based off of biblical teachings. Thus, the child abuse definitions under the secular law need to change. 

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 being 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. Even any parent anger directed towards a child is parental entitlement, and was seen as parental entitlement in the Early Church. Whenever this sense of entitlement in parents was perceived by children 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, stemming from entitlement. Child abuse in the Bible, as a legal concept, consists of entitlement in parents, leading to offense in children. The key to not abusing your child is to avoid offense in children. Avoiding offense in children is the same as avoiding offense in other adults. Just as hurt feelings are inevitable in relations between adults, hurt feelings are also inevitable in children when dealing with them. Thus, in order to avoid offense in a child, you need to be willing to give a meaningful apology whenever you hurt your child's feelings. Usually, all that is necessary is a reassurance of good intent in the case of limits not set out of anger, in the form of a half-apology, such as "I'm sorry, but I had to set X limit for Y reasons". However, if you ever lose your cool with your child as a parent, including while setting limits, you definitely need to give a formal apology for hurting your child's feelings with your anger, such as "I apologize for losing my temper with you", and then commit never to losing your cool with your child ever again, as losing your cool with your child, in and of itself, is entitlement, and was seen as entitlement in the Early Church. 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 term roughly translating to "power to the parent", namely the power to impose punitive sanctions on children, such as spankings or 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 to long-term damages, namely childhood trauma. The ancients in the Bible had their own concept of childhood trauma. Whenever a child grew up to be atheist, shame fell on the parents for being too harsh with their child. An atheist then was seen as an abused child, not a "lost soul" to be "won over". 

The ancients in the Bible even had a concept of child sexual abuse. The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers here to, in sum, any sexual relations outside of the context of a Christian marriage between one adult man and one adult woman. The only outlets a man could have then was sex with his wife, or else solo masturbation without pornography. Fathers even masturbated to sexual fantasies of their daughters, and that was seen as normal. However, whenever an adult had sexual relations with a child, it was a massive scandal. Child sexual abuse was rare in biblical times, meaning next to non-existent. 

Child abuse was prosecuted in the Early Church by way of internal investigation. Usually, a child abuse investigation started with a child confiding into church clergypersons about their home life. From there, the parents were subpoenaed to testify before the council as to their abuse of their child. If the parents did get defensive at all when being cross-examined by the church elders, they were excommunicated from the Early Christian Churches of God.

The Bible is an anti-spanking document. All 88 books of the Bible - from Genesis to Revelation - were written by Jews, with no Jew worth mentioning ever endorsing the punitive treatment of a child, then and now. All of the biblical writers also wrote parenting manuals, with all of these parenting manuals advocating attachment parenting. Even King Solomon recommended attachment parenting for minor children. It just so happens that these parenting manuals were not translated into English until the 1960s. 

The Bible is America's book. America is a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian values. Even our legal codes are inspired by the Bible, even if they are imperfect in their application of the Bible. However, the law of the land has it wrong on the issue of child abuse, based off of dated church teachings that call for the punishment of children. The Bible opposes child abuse entirely, meaning whatever the child victim perceives as such.

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 torrents, suffering God's Wrath day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

"Biblical spanking": Why the rod verses in Proverbs are repealed verses

Many parents spank or punish their children. This is a common behavior in parents. Most parents, at some level, use the Bible as an excuse to punish their children. Parents these days need an attitude adjustment in that regard. The fact of the matter is that the Bible is an anti-spanking document. 

There is no such phrase in the Bible stating clearly "spare the rod, spoil the child". However, the book of Proverbs contains 6 verses mentioning the rod of correction. The most well-known of these verses is Proverbs 13:24 KJV:

He who spareth his rod hateth his son: but he who loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The Hebrew word translated "son" is ben and refers here to a mature adult son. The Hebrew word translated "rod" is shebet and refers here to the rod of correction, which was a switch applied to the bare back of a criminal offender, in a courtroom setting, as a sentence for a crime. Striking another Jew outside of a courtroom setting was considered unlawful then. Striking a minor child for any reason, in any context, was prohibited under Jewish law. The father then was deputized to administer the blows. The reason for these rod verses is that otherwise, the father would refuse to whip his son when the Law required it. Ultimately, what is being referred to here is the 40 minus 1 lashes, not a domestic spanking of a child. 

Christ died and Rose on the Third Day in order to repeal the harsh punishments of the Old Testament. Christ was whipped unjustly by the Romans before being put on the cross, and thus the Early Church shunned all corporal punishment, including which was perpetrated by the Romans. Christ instead opened up Heaven and Hell for sinners and saints respectively. 

The Bible nowhere speaks of any sort of "biblical spanking". However, the Bible does weigh in on the spanking issue, and then some. See 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. It is one thing to stop spanking your child. However, it is not enough to stop spanking or even punishing your child for that matter. You need to avoid offense in children. Avoiding offense in children is the same as avoiding offense in other adults. Just as hurt feelings are inevitable in relations between adults, hurt feelings are also inevitable when dealing with children. Thus, if you hurt your child's feelings, you need to give a meaningful apology to your child.

Attachment parenting was banned under Roman law, but the Early Christians did it anyway, obeying God over men.

All of the biblical writers also wrote parenting manuals. This included King Solomon himself. King Solomon was anti-spanking as a whole. Maybe he wrote about the 40 minus 1 lashes, but he didn't ever intend for minor children to be whipped. For minor children, he recommended attachment parenting to Jewish parents. 

Christian parenting in the Early Church was not based off of anger. Instead, parenting was motivated by worry or concern. Whenever a parent lashed out at their child in the Early Church, the parent was disciplined by the council, and was excommunicated if they defended their parent anger in any way. Parent anger directed towards children then was likened to a viper lashing out at an unsuspecting child. Maybe the parent gave warning, but not much of one.

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!
