Why discipline is for parents, not children (discipline yourself first)

 Many people in today's world lack discipline, and many people are parents. Who am by personality? Punitive nostalgia. Law and order. Black and white newspaper article. "Get your act together". Yet, I'm anti-spanking, and support gentle parenting in this way. These pro-spanking spoogs and fools would have been hung bloody in Solomon's day, since those verses referred to judicial corporal punishment, with the Mosaic legal system having a role-playing component in familial format. Only adult men received whippings from their fathers. Punishing a child was seen as completely unlawful and the moral crime of kidnapping. Those were the days.

It says in Hebrews 12:11 KJV:

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterwards it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness which is exercised thereby.

The Greek root word translated "grievous" is λυπέ (Latin: lupe) and refers to the painful aspect of discipline, meaning sometimes parenting hurts, and it hurts on behalf of your child. Earlier, in vs. 6, it says:

For the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son he receiveth.

I have been scourged myself in relation to children, as this refers, again, to judicial corporal punishment under the old Law set my Moses, which did not apply to children and only adults. I think maybe, with all the crime today, that we need a whipping post at 5th and Penn here in Reading, just like my grandfather told me about, and whip all the child abusers bloody on their way to prison. YOU should have discipline, and not expect your child to have discipline when you lash out at everyone all the time. Stop being such a snowflake, being hurt by your child's behavior. Get a grip. 

"Chastening" and "chasteneth" are translated by the same Greek root word, παιδεία (Latin: paideia), and refers to the hourglass condition, knowing how evil you are as a parent for being able to harm your child, charring and shaming oneself due to that, then replenishing with good works.

It says in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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

The Greek root word for discipline is found here (GRK: παιδεία), translated instead as "nurture", and refers to co-regulation. Humility, respect, and self-control start with parents, not children, with parents taking knowing how evil and wicked their nature is in relation to children, and avoid provocation to anger in relation to children, as denoted by the Greek root word παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo), with said word referring to damages imposed on a child, both short-term and long-term, cross-referencing both the Eighth and Tenth Commandment. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσια (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to correcting and setting limits and boundaries, in a way that avoids damages, with damages meaning any pain, shame, or emotional distress, to the level of din, perceived by the child. The child, in America, under her values, has the right to perceive their own abuse. Most of conservative America has yet to claim civil liberties and freedoms on behalf of their children, as denoted by the Fourteenth Amendment of our Constitution - equal rights for all! And it is found in our Bible stated directly, yet indirectly for children and adults, in Gal. 3:28.

I am to be disciplined as a responsible adult in relation to children. Children generally aren't disciplined, and don't have to be. So kids are entitled? That's called pro-social entitlement, meaning children should be cut a break due to their young age. Hold open a door. Reserve a seat. Treat them with sensitivity. Shelter them from the evil of the world. Kids demand things from adults. Get over it, and quit your whining and complaining.

Let the undisciplined parents BURN! We gentle parents have discipline! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
