Why corporal punishment of children is already banned (God's Law is above the law of the land)

Many parents use corporal punishment as a means to control their children, with 70% of adults supporting the right of parents to use corporal punishment. Corporal punishment is banned under our natural laws, with children having the natural freedoms to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God's Law is above the law of the land, and His Divine Jurisprudence prohibits all forms of punishment of children.

Corporal punishment did exist in the Bible, but never for children. In the Old Testament, it came in the form of judicial corporal punishment. This was after many warnings from the family unit and neighbors witnessing the crimes, and documentation thereof. Fathers in these cases were appointed accessories of the Israelite state, and upon conviction of a capital offense, the capital offender was given a second chance by enduring the rod of correction, meaning 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction. Children could not be charged of anything. The most common offense, in fact, was child abuse, which was either kidnapping or incest, with most of the child abuse in the Old Testament being false encouragement.

Christ stopped two executions in the Gospel, and taught non-violence, meaning love your neighbor and turn the other cheek. Christ abolished the death penalty by enduring it on the cross, with the Early Christians not following the letter of the law, meaning the stated punishments, but the spirit of it as summed up by Christ, with is love God and love your neighbor. All corporal punishment under Jewish law except that of spouses was linked to capital punishment in the Bible. Spousal corporal punishment was only to be done by agreement of both spouses in both the Old and New Testament, and a man who struck his wife was an outcast, and seen as weak.

Actual Christian parenting is based on the doctrine of mutual submission, which 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 secure, vulnerable rest and trust in the love and grace of parents, coming from sacrifice for one's children, in the spirit of how Christ sacrificed for His children; taking up the cross for one's children, in the spirit that Christ took up the cross for His children; martyring oneself in everything in parenting, with children resting securely in the sacrifice of parents, showing gratitude and thanksgiving for said sacrifice by emulating the example and teaching of parents. This Greek root word ultimately uplifts the Judeo-Christian parenting context in the Bible, which was attachment-based in nature. Child nudity was legal and normalized n ancient Israel and adjoining churches, and that norm was there for mothers to snuggle up with their children, using skin-to-skin contact to build a bond with their child, then respect later. Children up to age 3 were treated behaviorally as infants, and breastfed as such, with older children co-sleeping with mother at night until adulthood, with mothers and daughters being inseparable for protective reasons (Lev. 18:17). Policing attachment was the norm in ancient Hebrew culture, meaning children demanded their needs and wants, and parents supplied to the best of their ability, surrendering to the demands of their child, giving up any fight they might have with their child. Children at times ordered their parents as to what they wanted, not mincing words, and parents were expected by society to provide, with parents being convicted by way of reverent fear and terror that they were struck by from their child, leading to surrender. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stirring up" upset and resentment in a child, in reference to the Jewish adage of "stirring the pot" in terms of one's child's emotional welfare. Vs. 21 was a direct command from God through the Apostle Paul to prohibit corporal punishment, as well as any other form of punishment and harshness. Ancient Greco-/Roman culture supported the right of a father to correct his family physically with the legal doctrine of patrias potestas. The Apostle Paul would have none of it in the churches he oversaw as a deacon, and from that point on, the anti-spanking policy of the Law of Moses became Christian law, as precedent by uplift of previous legal precedent. In the Old Testament, striking children wasn't a societal issue to the point of not having a specific law for striking a child, whereas elder abuse by adult children was a major problem then, hence the parent protection laws, which are not mentioned in the New Testament except for honoring parents when deserving. Striking anyone was illegal for adults in the New Testament, however, a dependent child could strike a parent to communicate a need. Paul handed out attachment parenting manuals to the Colossians, which recommended both a loving, Christ-like example and a loving attachment with children to back it up, alongside warnings, or lectures, along the way. Corporal punishment of minor children was banned under the Law, and Paul was making that clear. All anger had to be saved up for court, meaning the exchange (Matt. 5:21-22), but with children being too young to stand trial, thus exempt from legal punishment (John 7:24).

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. Our values have been evolving since ever since we have become a country. Nothing in our founding values calls for the striking of a child as punishment, and everywhere in the Bible I find a ban on corporal punishment already, under natural law. It is about time the secular authorities keep up with discovery of natural law that includes more people in our public discourse. We need a spanking ban on the secular level of law. But, until then, God's Law is above the law of the land

The depraved and entitled parents 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! Let the parent evildoers descend into everlasting Hell-fire designed for Mammon! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
