"Children are the enemy of adults": Why it is the reverse - we are THEIR enemy

 Many pro-spanking pastors will portray children as the enemy of parents and all other adults. Others say that children are equal to adults in every aspect, and that any differences are fickle and laughable. Nope, we are their enemy, in divine format. As an entitled adult, I must be sure that a child hates my existence until proven otherwise, as should every adult.

The Greek root word translated "love" is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to a form of submission to children that is adversarial in nature. I am to selflessly and dutifully submit to the every vulnerable need of a child as her enemy, just as mankind is the enemy of God, with children being in His place, placing the issuance of lawful and binding orders that are their every need, verbally or non-verbally. It is a child reaching in diagonally, convicting you in trembling yet warm manner. Many adults say this with malicious intent, but you can be sure that the child has the best of intent in striking her parents or caregivers with their duties to provide and protect. I am afraid of a child, and a child has every right to hate me for my mere existence.

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleased unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "children" is τεκνον (Latin: teknon) and refers to being dependent on parents in the way God's Church is dependent on Christ. The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to surrender leading to automatic compliance, stemming from secure attachment and rest in the love and grace of parents. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to short-term damages, such as pain, shame, defamation of character, and/or fornication, perceived to the level of din and with entitled intent and self-interest. Spanking and punishing children was illegal under Jewish law, as was any non-consensual physical contact towards another outside of a courtroom setting.

Love is seeing a child as an adversary that resents you, and hates you, and win over their trust by way of treating her with basic respect, honoring her rights and freedoms, and not arguing with or debating her needs, being chased diagonally towards giving her everything she needs. When a child does trust me, I should be grateful, and not demand more.

The depraved and entitled parents and adults who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them suffer and languish in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, suffering the second death! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand...Individual responsibility means that parents know that they have free will, and simply choose not to abuse children. It is a trait of an abuser of children to lack individual responsibility. Now buckle up, and take charge as a parent over your own self-control, and stop controlling your child. So you need to control and punish your child as well? I know where you're headed, and it isn't up.
