Dress policing: Why this is sin

There are, indeed, many sexual predators out there, and this is why parents want children to wear clothes, even while in the house. This is an entitled and controlling attitude towards children, and a victim-blaming way to treat children.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting things from children, such as dressing the way you want them to, to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, leading to theft by way of personal offense. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:
Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable trust and rest in the care and safety of parents. Children, while in that care in ancient Hebrew culture, were naked when around parents in a family home. This was seen as vulnerability, meaning the vulnerability of the bond between mother and child. Skin-to-skin contact is a major way that parents should bond with their children from very young. Mothers, in family homes, rarely were clothed, and simply slipped on a loose dress when going on errands, perhaps to market or elsewhere in the city. The dress was open just a bit in the front to allow young children to be swaddled next to her, in order to feed the child closely, with the child being as young as 3. Nudity was not seen as inherently sexual, depending on the context, but more the natural self, before original sin took over.

It says in 1 Corinthians 6:18 KJV:

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he who committeth fornication sinneth against their own body.

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers to the sex crime statutes under the Mosaic Law, denoted loosely as any sexual behavior or impurity outside of marriage. A man was expected to wear clothes, and respect that a child might not be wearing any clothing, and if he did anything to take advantage of the situation, he was guilty of a moral crime, not the child. Thus, dress policing itself is the moral crime of adult sexual entitlement, meaning anything as little as "cover up" and "don't touch yourself there". Children have the right to go around the house wearing nothing, or covering up everything in a hood. Whichever suits their fancy. Usually young girls dress a certain way to be looked at, but then are offended because adults tend to look in a more entitled way (I don't have that problem, by the way - I don't exist to them). Young girls generally do not want sex with adults, even as teenagers. They just want to look pretty...Children in biblical times went completely naked until the age of majority in public, and if any man were to slip a hand, he'd be deemed a fornicator, not the child. Sadly, for child's freedom sake, that can't be replicated today in most places. Nude beach, maybe?

The depraved sexually entitled adults will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them languish in the lake of burning fire and brimstone, which is the second death! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
