Pro-social afraid, pro-social child worship: Why your child is the authority over their needs

And also pro-social stophand. Parents want children to fear them, and punish them to enforce "reverent fear" onto children. The fact of the matter is that total acceptance of children requires fear of a certain reverence, meaning I am afraid of children, but in a loving, chivalrous type of way. You never question a child's demands and orders as to their needs. 

The ancient Israelite cultures, including the adjoining churches, were child worshipping cultures, of the attachment parenting variety, with children being seen as extended by God. 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 means fear your child as you would God, and serve your child with the same reverent fear that would God, as children are the "least of these" and a vulnerable yet convicting extension of God. Reverent fear is a component of Christian love, and is denoted by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos) and refers to low level fear that strikes the entitled parent into total submission to their children, shaking and quaking in the wake of the child's needs, leading to surrendering to the needs of child as one would God. Christian love is submission to children as their enemy, being charitable and chivalrous to them as their enemy, treating children as a friend, winning over their hearts by being convicted of their every need, seeing them as a terror and authority for their needs, fearing their reverent rebellion, falling into place and order in relation to children.

The doctrine of mutual surrender refers allegorically to the mutual surrender between Christ and His children, the saints. Children should dote on their children as saints that they sacrifice for. 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 not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to children resting in the love and grace of parents, just as Christ's children rest in His love and grace, with parents providing selflessly to the every need of children, with children being able to confide into parents anything and everything under the sun, including topics that would get them ostracized if stated to anyone else. Parent submission is convicted by the every demand of children, with parents supplying the every need of children, and child submission is surrendering one's every emotion to parents, with parents being safe people for children, like a home base. Children in ancient Israel and adjoining cultures were constantly close to mothers in particular, and were loving encouraged by fathers. Children went in the nude in biblical times, and that was so that they could co-sleep next to mothers and get their daily dose of skin-to-skin closeness, with children up until age 3 being breastfed, and treated as infants behaviorally until then. This is the spirit of how American normative parenting should go, as this is the natural law of the land that is much ignored. Children co-slept next to mothers until adulthood, when they shook off the care and protection of parents, and asserted their independence, being as independent as possible to please parents. Independence was a virtue far above slavish obedience in ancient Jewish culture, meaning independence of living and also independence of thought. The value and responsibility of the individual were core values of ancient Judeo-Christian society. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stirring up" upset and resentment in children, and referred to then the moral count of provocation to anger, meaning in this case uplifting the Law on Hellenistic Christian parents who would use corporal punishment on children, violating the Law. Under the Law of Moses, punishing a child was kidnapping, due to its hostage-taking nature, with all corporal punishment then being in the form of judicial corporal punishment, with only adult children getting whipped, and only in connection to a capital offense, usually for crimes against the state more than crimes against individuals. The Apostle Paul here, accompanying vs. 21, handed out attachment parenting manuals advising parents to impart the Living Example of Christ, in terms of being their first role model in terms of sacrifice and non-violence, in the spirit of Christ's sacrifice and non-violent example. Christ was forgiving. Christ was peaceful. Christ was non-violent. So should you be as a parent, and if you aren't, work towards that goal. Be like Jesus Christ as a parent, meaning a giving extension of Christ in the family home.

There are two sides to society, children and adults, with adults forever being the enemy of children. The goal in parent is perfection, meaning perfect acceptance of your child, and perfect Christian discipline in relation to children. The goal is seeking to love children as a friend, knowing you have wronged them merely for existing as an adult, paying due penance towards children, turning oneself into children, being washed of the filth that is parental entitlement, knowing that one will never achieve perfection in this world, but the next.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger instead of fearing them 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!
