Religious entitlement in parents - Understanding the divine statutes on passing down the faith

Most children in the United States are raised in some religion. I wasn't one of them, meaning I was once a toxic agnostic. I was instead punished in the name of "power to the parent" secular political theodicies, meaning I hate parental rights, and hate emphasizing their rights, shutting those entitlement programs such as "reasonable chastisement" down. Some parents don't force religion on children, but invite their children to their Church, and that is how you do things, but without punishment.

Religious entitlement isn't having any religious need, contrary to some anti-Christian atheist SJWs say. It is forcing your religious reality onto others in an entitled manner. It says in Exodus 20:17 KJV:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

The Hebrew word translated "covet" is למחוד (Latin: lachmod) and refers, in the course of religious instruction, meaning antisocial application thereof, wanting a child to hold the same beliefs as you to the point of seeking to impose said belief or belief system onto them, leading to theft/abuse. Abuse is further defined in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, meaning the parent controlling and disciplining themselves in an exemplary way, punishing themselves for trespasses against their child, and rewarding themselves for progress, centering themselves in relation to their child in a way that a child comes to listen and heed religious instruction willingly and eagerly, with such instruction based on the Socratic method. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the admonition of the Lord, which refers to setting limits and boundaries, perhaps with the word "no" or else its various variants. This is all weighed out by the Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath", which is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and is one of the Greek words in the New Testament that refer to the offenses, meaning damages and torts under the Law, which were summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child, stemming from any kind of entitlement, including religious entitlement. This means that if a child is punished in any way in the name of religion, or else the religion is imposed on them in any way, it is the moral crime of entitlement leading to theft, colored as blasphemy. Whatever religious teaching the child perceives as offensive objectively is, in which case parents should hold off on the religious instruction. By the letter of the law, stubborn and rebellious sons could be executed or punished (by excommunication under Early Christian church ordinance), but parenting custom in that culture expected parents not to press charges, and offenses against parents were the most stigmatized of cases, meaning each and every one of them recanted. Most parents simply saw their son as a prodigal son who they just said prayers for, and hoped he'd come back, knowing he probably never would and accepted reality.

The idea is to teach children religion in the form of pro-social invite, meaning invite them to your church, while practicing your denominational beliefs around them, within eyesight and earshot, occasionally "nudging" them in the right way when they misbehave, leaving other behaviors go due to immaturity. Simply stating "no" and setting limits is what is understood, in context, as the admonition of the Lord. Under God's Loving Reproof is when you give them a choice to obey God or deny His Word and Law, knowing that if you are a good, loving parent like you might like to think you are, they will follow you because they trust and care about you, seeing you as a friend and ally, thus winning them over from being their enemy by default as a convicted adult. His Loving Reproof should be rare, as either children should be centered in relation to parents by the listening and validation of parents, or else the behavior is deemed developmentally appropriate, and thus the child won't understand why it is wrong due to cognitive immaturity. Thus, God's Loving Supervision can keep them safe.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them suffer in the lake of fire and burning sulfur prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
