Children self-protect, adults abstain: Why this is the model for all adult-child relationships

Many parents think they have the right to protect their children, focusing on external threats. Many times, however, the threat is within, meaning within yourself as an adult in relation to children. Children self-protect and adults abstain from entitlement and abuse.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting things from a child to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child, leading to abuse by way of offense perceived. Children have the right to name their own abuser, and dial 9-1-1 if a parent is punishing or controlling them in any way. This is called a "hitman" investigation, where the child or other victim of child abuse hires the police as a defensive agent to investigate their abuser. 

Children self-protect/adults abstain is the doctrine of mutual surrender. Such is stated in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to closeness to parents, but in a policing way, meaning children were vulnerable yet convicting extensions of God, and had the absolute right to petition parents for a redress of grievances, and even order them around parents with their lawful and binding authority over their needs. Today, this means asserting one's boundaries as a child towards your parents when it is safe, or towards any pedophile. A child can assert anything to me, and I will do my best to obey, as their ragdoll and vending machine. If a child hates me, they can tell me to my face, and I must obey and heed their commands as per my Christian faith, unless their demands are unreasonable or unsafe. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stirring up" negative emotion in children, as in the Jewish idiom of "stirring the pot" in terms of your child's emotion welfare. This refers to an offense perceived by the child, meaning the slightest of personal offense perceived by the child. This could be enforced on parents by the child, as they could flag a concerned bystander to take their parents to court, usually an extended family member. The Apostle Paul here was bringing up the offenses in order to warn certain Hellenistic Christians who relied on corporal punishment that spanking children was illegal under the Law, which Christ sacrificed Himself to fulfill and promote the Law. The Law traditionally graded such a provocation to anger as kidnapping. The warning for a pro-spanking parent would be in the Early Church, "You are deserving of death for what you did, even as Christ abolished the death penalty" There was bloodlust in both the Old Testament and Early Christian context for a pro-spanking parent, meaning excommunicated pro-spanking members of the Early Church killed themselves anyway, and that suicide was sort of celebrated, meaning "good for him/her". All started with a child being empowered enough to tell about abuse. Child abuse was out in the open then, meaning you knew it when you saw it, and it wasn't a peacekeeper, and child abusers were excommunicated and collectively shunned from God's Church, with such parents being mobbed in the form of an inquisition. They were given a chance to turn themselves in, in which case the whole church would assist them in not abusing children...Any fear of an adult is deemed child abuse under God's Law.

Biblical children were submissive to their parents, but in an outspoken way, with children being a terror to their parents to get what they need, and parents just smiling and supplying the demands of children. If a child told an adult to stop something, the adult did, and the child didn't have to ask nicely. Children were sort of expected to be demanding and begging in their nature, and this was seen as a quirk of children. Children did not have good manners then, and parents assumed they would learn them later, when they were ready. A child did not have to be nice to any adult trying to harm them. Usually, it was the father that was abusive, and usually, that was grounds for divorce in a given church community. 

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