Pro-social deification, pro-social child worship: Why your child is an extension of God

Many parents think they love their child, but do they really? Love is not a form of affection. Love is not an emotion. Many parents think they are extensions of God, with children being extensions of Christ, when it is the reverse. Parents are giving extensions of Christ. 

Parents are to worship their child, as to God, as ancient Jewish culture, including 1st Century Christian culture, were child worshipping cultures. It was how children were viewed, meaning with a booming, convicting voice of "don't forget about us". 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 fire: but the righteous into life eternal.

Christ here was speaking as God, not merely Christ. Christ is the giving part of God, not the needy and demanding part. Think of the needy voices and cries of children as convicting parents by striking reverent fear and terror into the heart of the sinner, meaning every parent and adult, as denoted by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos). Parents and adults are to be shamefaced and afraid of the needs of a child, enough to surrender to God through one's child, being the enemy of children, seeking to be their friend.

It says 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 translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest and trust in the love and grace of parents, as in the Lord, coming from sacrifice for one's child, in the spirit that Christ sacrificed for His children; taking up the cross for one's child, in the spirit that Christ took up the cross for His children; martyring oneself in everything, while expecting nothing in return for turning oneself into one's child, giving to children without receiving...and then children rest in the sacrifice and martyrdom of parents, with children showing gratitude and thanksgiving towards children by emulating the example of parents to thank them for being kind and charitable towards them, with children owing nothing in return to parents. Children were seen as next to God, with the Hebraic understanding of God as appearing as the most humble of individuals, in a convicting way that strikes terror into any evildoer that could hurt them. Children are the highest in the Kingdom of Heaven, for being the lowest in the eyes of the world (Matt. 19:14). The Greek root word translates υπακουο ultimately uplifts the traditional parenting in ancient Hebrew culture, including 1st Century Christian culture, which was attachment-based in nature. Children went in the nude all the time in the biblical context, and it was legal and accepted as a way for mothers to earn trust in their children, and later respect, with mother-child intimacy to the level of nudity, including co-sleeping and breastfeeding. Children were seen as next to God in this regard as many adult decisions in that culture revolved around the needs of children. For a Hebrew mother or father, a child demanding their needs struck your heart with reverent terror, with the parent following the child while leading at the same time, providing for needs while being dragged to their child's needs like a ragdoll.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) is translated literally to "stirring up" upset and resentment in one's child, referencing the Jewish adage of "stirring the pot" in relation to your child's emotional well-being. This was a direct command from the Apostle Paul to ban all corporal punishment in the Christian Churches of God, meaning spanking and other forms of physical and mental punishment were seen as the moral count of provocation of one's neighbor, meaning the slightest of personal offenses perceived by the child, stemming from entitlement. The Apostle Paul here was making an attachment parenting statement in the negative. Striking or verbally berating your neighbor at all was illegal under Jewish law, as reflected in this command for children, with children being too young to stand trial. Paul handed out attachment parenting manuals, as the Greco-Roman faction of the Christian Church at Colossae used corporal punishment to punish their children, whereas Paul was saying not to punish your child at all. The main idea of the manuals was that children listen to parents like a mirror of your own flaws and sin nature, so be a good example and role model to them, and don't use violence or force to control them, lest they grow up to be controlling people, as denoted by the Greek root word αθυμέω (Latin: athumeo) and refers to long-term damage from spanking and punishment, including discouraging a child from the Christian faith.

Children are extensions of God, and parents are extensions of Christ. In the Greco-Roman culture, children were ideally to tag behind a parent, whereas in Judeo-Christian culture, children led their parents to what they needed, in some way, in some form, whether it be through lawful and binding orders, or taking parents on mini adventures, so to speak. Attachment needs were definitely counted in ancient Hebrew culture, meaning spending time together, with parents showing charity...and this led to charitable children. Parents are to listen to the child in regard to their every need/want, with benign wants being counted as needs when attainable, with parents being attendants to children and their every need. The word "no" should be rare in a Christian home, with compromise being the spirit of attached, gentle parenting in the name of Christ, in the example of Christ. Children are next to God to you, dear parent, and don't you forget it.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them burn and rot in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death, which is Satan's final resting place! Let the parents descend downward in a spiral of flames and destruction, with God foreknowing their fate from the very beginning, angry at how parents and adults treat children! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
