Why religious entitlement towards children is sin

 Many parents abuse their children, namely through corporal punishment, with 94% of parents physically battering their children within the law. Most parents get their parenting advice through religious sources, not secular sources, as America is a Christian nation. However, this does not make it okay to force religion on a child.

Religious entitlement is denoted by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting a child to believe in a faith or ideology, to the point of seeking to impose said want, leading to abuse by way of offenses. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to the offenses in the Bible, namely the torts and damages in the Law stemming from the Eighth Commandment, including the assault and battery laws that extended to children in term of scope of protection. Basically, any method of religious instruction that the child deems offensive is religious abuse. Religious child abuse does exist, but usually as a mesh category that is secondary to something else, usually corporal punishment within the law, but also many times sexual abuse or unlawful physical abuse.

I myself do not fear God in the traumatic sense, but the traditional reverent sense, meaning I am not afraid of Him punishing me, I simply fear Him punishing me in a way that I obey His Divine Jurisprudence. This is because my parents never punished me for anything related to religion. Most children are shamed using religion in this country, whereas my father and mother simply encouraged religious growth. This was how children were taught Scripture in the Early Church - encouragement was the main teacher.

Religious instruction in the biblical context started out with the connotations of crayons and drawings, and ended with a "see for yourself" lesson in terms of reading the Holy Writings concerning finding the passages that say bad adults are going to Hell, then reassurance later that "you were a kid. You may have done some stupid things as a kid, but since you were a child, God forgives you. But, now you are officially an adult" Theological texts such as the Book of Revelation are very difficult to navigate, hence why you save them for the last few days of religious instruction. There is no need for any sexual gaslighting in the form of sodomy. The text simply stood out to the Bible student, in a convicting way that wasn't traumatic in nature, since it wasn't coupled with punishment. A 6-year-old boy had no concept of Hell either, meaning young children were shielded from that imagery. 

Punishment of any kind was illegal under the canon law of the Early Church, as such was seen as assault and battery against a child under kidnapping statutes, meaning a capital punishment that God spared for the offender, as the Early Church also banned capital punishment, meaning parishioners participating in Roman executions. Punishing a child in the name of religious was blasphemy. Many churches then had a large influx of Greco-Roman fathers especially who physically punished children, which was seen by Jewish parishioners in the Church as an abuse problem that was to be ashamed of, regardless of the acceptance of corporal punishment in the outside Hellenistic world for children. That was one of the things shunned by the Early Church. The prevailing understanding of parents in the Early Church, and especially church leadership, was that punishing a child misrepresented God and was thus blasphemous in nature when conflated with religious instruction...The only punishment that could exist under Jewish law was judicial in nature, and only after extensive due process.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Punishing children in the name of God blasphemes the Lord in the name of controlling a subject, thus rendering them a victim of abuse. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
