Original sin - and why all parents and adults have it

The teaching of original sin is perhaps the most misunderstood and misused teaching. Most parents and adults today use it as an excuse to abuse and oppress children. This is a core teaching of my theology, in first-person mainly, especially in relation to the group of people I hate in terms of nature - children. 

The biblical understanding of the doctrine is implied the Tenth Commandment, in Exodus 20:17 KJV:
Thou shalt not cover 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 neighbor.

The Hebrew word translated "covet" is לחמוד (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting things from children, or for children to do things for you, to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, leading to abuse, defined by the offense perceived.

The Greek root word in the New Testament cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and can be understood in two levels, namely the entitled attitude of "I am a good parent, and I deserve respect from children (and everyone else)" leading to said attitude being imposed on a child through controlling, demanding, punitive, or sexually objectifying behavior towards a child. On another level, the word describes the nature of parents/adults to want things from children, which reeks of entitlement in and of itself when defended, meaning a reason to suspect a parent. This is why we have the anti-parent theology - the loudest and proudest of parents are the worst vipers of them all.

The key to overcoming one's sin nature is to avoid entitlement, meaning do the opposite of what your sin nature drives you to do. This means do not lash out physically, verbally, or sexually, and when you feel the tendency to abuse a child in any way, do the opposite of what you want to do, and perhaps go the opposite direction of where the scene of the crime might be, or else avoid arguments or harsh words with your child, and the more respectful you speak or behave around your child, the more your parent is trained to treat them with respect.

The fruits of parental labor are mentioned below in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to providing custody, meaning rest of children in the love and grace of parent, meaning parents are to supply the every demand of children, with parents being safe people for children to make demands on, no matter how intense the children are emotionally in demanding their rights and needs from parents, owing absolutely nothing in relation to parents, while listening to the voice of parents and heeding their instruction, with the voice being reassuring and familiar to the children, not fearful or convicting. This comes from Christian love of children, denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to conviction to surrender to God through one's child stemming from reverent fear and terror of children, giving up all adult power and control to the footstool of children, with children ruling like royalty from beneath adults, with parents sacrificing for their children, taking up the cross for children, just as Christ took up the cross for His children, doing good works for one's child just for the sake of doing good works for them, leading to benefit to the child, expecting absolutely nothing in relation to children, being and feeling grateful for doing good for them, looking at the profits that they received from your sacrifice and toil as a parent. 

The Greek root word translated ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally refers to "stirring up" anger in children, namely the Greek idiom of "stirring the pot". Literally literally, in context, it refers to the the offenses, meaning the torts and damages system under the Eighth Commandment, especially assault and battery laws that extended to children in terms of protection, as Jewish law had no "reasonable chastisement" defense for children. Basically, the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child is child abuse. A mere cry of abuse in a young child is abuse, just as a gasp or redirection from an older child or a teenager is abuse. Abuse is not a behavior in biblical terms, but the damage from the behavior of entitled parents or adults, and otherwise, the parents can be charged with entitlement, period.

Admission of original sin, as the entitled parent/adult that we all are, involves charring oneself in relation to children in view of oneself, in the Lord, leading to conviction to avoid any entitlement towards a child, at all costs. 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 unto which all those are exercised thereby.

The Greek root word translated "chastening" is παιδεία refers to Christian discipline, or the chastening of the Lord, which refers to self-charring of parents, usually for past abuse of their child but also perhaps pro-social overstate of any risk to children through physically or sexually aggressive (pedophilic) parental entitlement, in the Lord, which leads to conviction to turn away from abuse, going the opposite direction, leading to self-discipline and centering of one's sin nature, in a way that is listening to one's child in a validating way, reflectively listening and showing reassurance to a child, centering oneself by way of the challenge of not lashing out and reacting of a child's upset, or taking advantage of a child's unclothed state (in the case of pedophilic parents). The Greek root word translated "grievous" is λυπέ (Latin: lupe) and refers to emotional grief, such as the pain of not being allowed by God to strike or lash out at a child, the painful challenge of it all, leading to centering and self-discipline of the parent or adult, then showing a child the same controlled example, being the salt and light of their world, with children being the salt and light of your life. 

Parents in ancient Israel and adjoining churches were not proud patents, but humble parents that took shamefaced attitudes towards children, thereby convicted to be beholden to the every need of their child, charring themselves of the capacity to harm their child, then purifying themselves by way of Christian love, meaning good works coming from conviction, based on reverent fear. Parents were seen by children as smaller than them despite being bigger in stature, especially mothers, and thus parents could be easily ordered to supply the demands of children.

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