Why it is not sin for a child to cry

Many parents abuse their children, including 94% of parents physically battering their children as punishment. What seems to be the most common reason? Crying. Crying "about spilled milk". Now, I am, in fact, conservative, and so I am non-entitled enough not to cry, but maybe whine when cornered by an abuser. I am hardened to anything, but a child isn't. I clearly see that due to the immature and egalitarian nature of my parent. Most parents with my conditioning, which is rough and tough, but appears quiet and peaceful, have trouble empathizing with their children due to this hardened conditioning. For me, it melts, and it does for any gentle parenting conservative.

It says in John 11:35 KJV:

Jesus wept.

This was, yes, concerning the death of a brother, but the fact that this is even included in the Bible meant that because Christ cried, so can a child. Biblical masculinity, in context, is different from modern masculinity involving "the real man" who picks up girls and wins as many fist fights as possible. This was a very centered man in the Early Church, who was expected to follow the example of Christ. This is noted as the chastening of the Lord, and is referred to throughout the New Testament as παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to discipline, meaning self-control and self-discipline. This was not a denial of feelings, but a centering of them, while aware of every emotion. Mere thoughts then were not healthy, per se, if they involved harming others, but only visible intent was prosecuted. All crimes had to be visible.

Crying was acceptable then, as the Early Christians used vulnerability gaslighting against their enemies who attacked, crying and hoping God saw how their persecutors and attackers took advantage of their vulnerability. Especially the men, who otherwise were very quiet and centered in their demeanor.

Punishing a child for crying is sin, in and of itself, and was then. It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, being able to tell or confide in parents about anything, owing nothing in return to parents, but nonetheless showing gratitude for kindness by listening to parents. This sort of surrender to parents means that children can feel safe to cry in the presence of parents. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stir up" and refers to the offenses, meaning torts and damages under biblical law, and is summed up in the New Testament. Guilty intent (mens rea) leads to/is guided by guilty action, with the guilty action (actus reus) being the offense perceived by the child, which guides the intent until questioned by a plaintiff in an exchange. The way to show intent that is not guilty is to reassure and validate the child's feelings, like a sounding board, thus showing no intent to offend a child either out of willfulness or negligence. Just leaving a child cry is abuse, and defending any dismissiveness towards a child's feelings is entitlement.

Ancient Hebrew culture was an attachment parenting society, meaning children were close to parents, especially mothers. Co-sleeping was the norm then, as was other bonding techniques with children, including holding a child on the back of the mother, perhaps as she's out and about in public venues. Punishment was illegal then except as a sentence for a crime, and only towards legal adults. This legal context applies today, and apart from a courtroom, assault and battery was an offense under the biblical offenses, which are linked to the Eighth Commandment.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven is at hands! Let them BURN! Let them suffer and languish in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which descends in a never ending manner! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
