Shielding blame: Why parents shield blame from children

Many parents abuse their children, meaning most parents are abusive in the United States. Many parents defend their right to punish their children. Many parents believe there is blame in childhood. There isn't. Children are blameless and exempt from prosecution.

Every single parent is guilty in relation to children to children mere for existing, and are to be struck with reverent fear and terror for the every vulnerable need of a child, leading to conviction to surrender to God through one's child, giving up one's adult power and control, sacrificing for one's child, taking up the cross for one's child, just as Christ sacrificed Himself and took up the cross for a crime He didn't commit, shielding blame from children, with parents taking the blame and children having none, rendering oneself beneath one's child, devaluing oneself as caregiver and servant, leading to good works for a child just for the sake of good works, expecting absolutely nothing in return, being and feeling grateful for the toil of parenting. This is Christian love, denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao). 

The Fifth Commandment is stated in its proper context 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 "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refer to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, meaning hiding behind the shield of parents, with parents being the human shield for all blame towards a child, being a human barrier for children's upset, allowing children to vent their upset to them, with parents listening reflectively and using Socratic reasoning, with children owing nothing in return to parents for the listening, meaning owing nothing at all to parents, but nonetheless showing gratitude and thanksgiving for one's parents and all they do by children emulating their example and momentary instruction. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) literally translates to "stirring up" children, meaning the Jewish idiom of "stirring the pot" concerning a child's emotions, with the word ultimately referring to the offenses, namely the torts and damages under the Eighth Commandment, which involve, at the very least, the slightest of offense perceived by the child, usually charged as kidnapping and not simple theft under the ordinances of the Early Christians. 

Parents in biblical times shielded their children from blame, meaning the Greek root word υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) refers to a restful form of surrender to parents, meaning restful and peaceable surrender in the care and protection of parents. Parents then were confronted for their child's behavior, not the child. Note in Matthew 19, where the little children were climbing all over Jesus in the temple. The high priest admonished the parents, and didn't shoo the children away or chase them with a misused object. That is because the children weren't the ones in trouble, but presumably (by way of the high priest) that the parents were guilty of an offense for their children's "out of order" behavior, in the case that Christ took offense to the children's rambunctious and exuberant behavior, which Christ didn't. Parents in biblical times didn't punish their children for "embarrassing" them, but defended them or else apologized for things that were truly reckless by a child. Parents in biblical times also took the blame from their children, meaning reverent rebellion of children.

Parents today are to defend their child's upsets, bad moods, and so forth, and should not care about being judged, as you are there for your child. No matter what, a parent should be attached to their child securely, and non-violent and non-punitive, and it should be like a plow - where nothing stops the parent from protecting their child, including from their own demons, and any offense taken by everyone else is collateral damage for a greater good, which is protecting children.

The depraved and entitled parents who punish or mollycoddle children will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Let them burn in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death, which is Satan's final resting place! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
