Pro-social peerification, pro-social child worship: Understanding child worship in the Bible

Many parents don't want to be their child's friend, instead saying "I am your parent, not your friend". However, the Bible disagrees, and states that parents should be a child's best friend, and should see their child as a lawful extension of God.

Every single adult is guilty merely for existing in relation to children, with parents being struck with reverent fear and terror, leading to conviction to turning themselves into their child, just as Christ turned Himself into His children, paying the ultimate sacrifice for His children, expecting absolutely nothing in return. If you punish a child, or sexually use or objectify a child with your behavior, don't exist. Exist away from me (see 1 Cor. 5:11). A parent/adult is the enemy of children, seeking to be their friend, not knowing anything about their child except which is shared, getting to know each and every individual child in the home. Every single adult is deserving of punishment, and every child grace from adults. It says in Matthew 25:45-46 KJV:
And then he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Christ here is speaking as God the Father in this passage, meaning the smaller person is God, period, meaning next to God. A child is a legal extension of God called to petition for needs and a redress of grievances to adults, as a form of reverent rebellion. Parents and other adults, to children, are extensions of Christ in relation to children. It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke nor your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "children" is τεκνον (Latin: teknon) and refers to dependence in parents, just as mature believers are dependent in Christ. The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest and trust in the love and grace of parents, with parents sacrificing for their children in the spirit that Christ did for His children, taking up the cross as Christ did with His children, martyring oneself in everything in relation to one's child...with the child resting in the care and friendship of parents, and parents being the best friend of their children. The Greek root word υπακουο ultimately uplifts the traditional biblical parenting context, which endorsed attachment parenting. Child nudity was legal throughout the biblical context, and the reason was that children needed someone to snuggle up next to for skin-to-skin context, with co-sleeping being the norm with Christian mothers in particular, but especially children up to age 3, who were swaddled to the bosom of mothers and treated as infants. and were nourished through breastfeeding as such. This imagery does not need to be literally applied today, but gives you an idea of how God wants you to parent your child. The key concept here is secure attachment, which means being close with your child to the point of being a safe person for them to confide absolutely everything into.

The Greek root word translated "parents" is γονεύς (Latin: goneus) and refers to leadership and headship, not authority over children, with parents being mere bondservants and caregivers to their children, sacrificing for their children as Christ did. It is a state of being close friends with a child, setting boundaries and limits as if they were a friend, serving their needs just as they would to God. Parents weren't lawgivers or lawmakers, but caregivers to children, in the biblical context. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stirring up" upset and resentment in children, referring to the Jewish adage of "stirring the pot", in terms of your child's emotional well-being or perceived safety. Basically, the slightest of personal slight perceived by a child is child abuse, meaning a moral crime, meaning sin. Greco-Roman culture was all for the punishment of children, whereas Judeo-Christian culture then favored attachment parenting as a means to relate to children. The Apostle Paul gave out parenting manuals that advised attachment parenting as the Hebraic way of parenting, thus the Christian way of parenting. Parents were best friends with their children, and vice versa, to the lowest level of acceptance imaginable and unimaginable. Children confided in parents as if parents were their best friend, even concerning frustrations, which were made raw because children could expect their parents not to punish raw frustration or anger - and that is what God wants of parents and for children. And parents should worship the footstool of their children by taking their orders as to what they need, attending to their needs, and treating them with respect.

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