Pro-social deification, pro-social child worship: What gentle parenting really is (based on the biblical context)

Many parents think they are God over their children, at some level. Usually, this is in a way that lumps the identity of children with parents, with a parent having an entitled nature that conflates their own identity with their child. Some pedophilic parents treat their child, usually their daughter, like God, and maybe even pray to her like she is one, in a way that is confusing to her in a wooing type of way. This is usually to "romance" a child, when there is a proper way of wooing them. They are akin to God, while not being God, while giving lawful and binding orders as such.

It says in Matthew 25:45-46 KJV:

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto the least of these, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

This refers to the fact that the vulnerable and downtrodden in society are extended by God for care and support, and this includes children. This was seen in the Early Church as a convicting passage, and children were included in this convicting message handed down from God at church gatherings. Christ was portrayed by Early Christian leaders, to parishioners, as a champion for children. Matthew 19:14 KJV:

But Jesus said, Suffer Little Children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for such is the Kingdom of Heaven.  

The context of this verse is that Christ is a guest in a temple in Jerusalem, and the children are left to run  around, and end up climbing all over Jesus. The religious structures in Judaism were top down in that context, with the rabbinical establishment being high and pious over things like children running around. Jesus Christ, however, was a rabbi Himself in a special, monastic school of rabbinical law. He was down to earth enough here to defend the children who might be embarrassing their parents with their playfulness. Any rabbi other than Jesus Christ Himself would have seen that as pure disrespect, but would have admonished the parents, not the children. Society then did spare children blame on everything. Christ went even further, and just left the children climb over him, in a nurturing way, pointing out, as He did in other passages of the Gospel, that children are the highest in the Kingdom of Heaven, because they are the lowest on the totem pole on Earth.

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 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 providing custody, meaning children rest in the care, support, and protection of children, meaning children are secure and save in the providence of parents, owing absolutely nothing in relation to parents, but nonetheless being grateful to parents by listening to their voice, out of reassurance and voice imprint. This is due to Christian love, which is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and comes from a certain reverence, in the form of reverent fear, denoted by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos) and revers to reverent and fearful conviction of the every need of a child, leading to surrender to God through one's child, giving up all adult power and control to a child's footstool, treating them like royalty, and honoring them like they are God, knowing they are children and imperfect, loving children for their imperfections, just as Christ loves His children for being imperfect in the moment, not because of what they should be in the future, leading to good works for the sake of good works towards children, seeing them as extensions of God, expecting absolutely nothing in return. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stirring up" and references the offenses in the legal context of the Bible, meaning the torts and damages system imposed by the Eighth Commandment, including the assault and battery laws imposed, summed up as the slightest of offense perceived by a child towards an adult, coming from entitled intent. Parental entitlement is referred to by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting things from a child, or for them to do things or fit a mold, to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, leading to abuse by way of the slightest offense. 

Ancient Israel, as well as adjoining churches, were child worshipping societies, but in the positive way. Children did not have their own altar at home, but were treated like an altar, meaning treated with the same respect and fear that one would treat God, for children are an extension of Christ as the "least of these". In practice, this meant children were swaddled to the bosom of their mothers until age 3, and slept next to their mothers for quite a while later in the form of co-sleeping. Ancient Jewish culture was attachment parenting culture, with children being seen as extensions of God on earth. Fathers stood in reverent distance to their children, namely daughters, meaning that was the norm (to prevent sexual abuse in particular), with mothers treating their children like the salt and light of their life, and the center of their world, with total acceptance coming from total submission to their child's needs, owing them their every vulnerable need, which include food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - but especially the last one, which comforts all the others. No child is going to listen to a parent about basic needs if they aren't attached in some way to their parents, and secure attachment was the norm then, and God wants it to be the norm now. 

Secure attachment is a chivalrous friendship with your child, holding shelter for their every mood. Think a child going into a fit about their teacher, which they hate, and you just listen. Christian chivalry is treating the smaller person like they are God, even when you know they are simply His extension, showing kindness, politeness, and courtesy towards a child, holding doors, holding umbrellas, and holding space for upset or frustration, no matter how severe.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices, including all entitled pro-spanking parents, as well as all who support sexual/behavioral negligence! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
