Why not to make promises to your child

Many people associate promises with the Bible and its context. What they don't know is that promises aren't part of the biblical teachings and laws handed by God through Moses and Christ. Promising to do things with your child shouldn't be a promise, but a plan. 

Where does the concept of "keep your promises" come from? Anglo-Saxon values. Think a proud English knight, claiming to be a Christian, yet proud nonetheless, stating "I will" all the time. I myself am a pedophile myself, but I shy away from "I will" because I cannot guarantee, in most instances, that "I will". "I will" from me is a plan, and plans can go awry, so don't shoot the messenger when I've changed my tune.

Perjury is described literally in the Ten Commandments, which is stated in Exodus 20:16 KJV:

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

This is repeated in the New Testament by the Greek root word λοιδορος (Latin: loidoros) and refers not to all lies, as sometimes, you need to tweak the truth a bit, albeit rarely, to not offend someone else. When a child asks a question such as "where do babies come from", and they are like 4, you sort of lie about it, and evade the question. Perjorious attitudes are about both evading responsibility and projecting it to where it isn't there, meaning 1) Do not falsely accuse your neighbor, meaning without evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, and 2) Do not evade your person or another person from prosecution.

Promises can harm a child. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

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

Young children especially, but also children with developmental disabilities such as autism, need structure. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to "stirring the pot" in terms of your child's emotions, meaning the offenses under the Eighth Commandment, meaning the slightest of offenses perceived by a child. 

Promises don't exist in parenting. You could promise that "I will always find time for you" but what if you can't? Children don't need honorifics. They need a stable, predictable adult who plans. Part of planning is imparting on children "there might be a chance that we won't be able to go to the restaurant" or "there might be a chance you won't get X toy", and all possibilities must be laid out to the child, at their level, in their terms.

This sort of parenting advice is associated with autism, but most children cry when there is an abrupt change in schedule, particularly when they are toddlers or else preschoolers. Older children whine. If they cry, they are autistic. I myself due to my autism/pedophilia, are forever stuck at around age 11-12, thus I can see on a child's level, and quickly infer what most adults, namely parents, forget.

Children need to know all possibilities of what might happen, which takes a specific form of judgment in a parent, namely pro-social fork. That means seeing all the possibilities, factoring them into your judgment, then emulating this to children by way of direct, explicit instruction. If you might not be able to do something with your child, because "we might not have time" and it is usually something they like, such as going to the store or the restaurant, children need to know beforehand. Parents often lie to children until the last minute, then punish children when they are shocked by the change in plans.

God is the only Entity allowed to make promises, as God keeps all of them. Anyone who has closely studied biblical prophecy knows how accurate it is. Not every prophecy has been fulfilled, but at this rate, all will be, at some point. The rapture will not occur until all of God's promises are kept. It says in Matthew 5:33-37 KJV:

Again, ye have heard by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thy oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all, neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth, for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make thy hair white or black. But let your communication be Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever more than these cometh of evil.

Christ here is saying just to say "yes, my dear, I'll take you shopping/out to eat/to the playground, etc" and only if you can stick to your plan, telling children ahead of time that plans might go awry. This ultimately refers, in literal terms, to swearing oaths. Swearing by anything is blasphemy according to my beliefs, meaning I am acting in an official capacity that only God can assume correctly, meaning God is able to take an oath and keep it, whereas a human being might be wrong about their predictions, due to the lack of ability to see ahead by most human beings. I affirm, which in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is an option on most official documents. Swearing on a Bible defiles God's Word. God is very consistent, and works much like a computer grid, in terms of Divine Justice for wrongdoing, and Divine Promises. Swearing an oath also counts as perjury, even when kept, because it is virtue-signaling, meaning saying "I promise" with a hand on your heart, looking like a hero when you might not be, because in the human eye of things, life is random.

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