Natural law: Why spanking is already banned in America

Many parents think that spanking is legal and okay, just because the secular law says so. America's book is the Bible, and it is a myth that there are no answers in the Bible as to what is child abuse and what isn't. God's Law is above the law of the land, as we are a Christian nation founded on Christian family values, and none of those values condone violence of any kind within the home.

Every parent is a Christmaster in their own home, and is a giving extension of Christ in the home. Natural law commands that parents surrender to their children as they would have their child submit to them later in life. 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, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, warm rest and trust in the love and grace of parents, just as adult believers rest and trust in Lord Jesus Christ our Savior and Messiah, with children not living under any Law, but under the grace of their parents. Respect for parents is intense closeness to the level of sustenance, leading to warm fondness and admiration for parents, and then honor. Surrender to parents is running to parents, being able to tell them anything and everything under the sun, with children able to be whatever they want as a child, with children demanding and ordering as to what they need, then parents supply the needs accordingly, then children rest once satisfied, then rewarding parents by emulating their example. This is how parents in ancient Israel and adjoining churches brought up their children, with Christian parents winning over their children by way of mothers co-sleeping with children in the nude, with skin-to-skin closeness ensured. Children up to age 3 were treated as infants behaviorally, and breastfed as such. Despite children being in a subservient position in biblical times, children struck reverent fear and terror into parents, meaning parents feared and revered their children in loving them, with children using their parents like a milking-cow or vending machine, being an attendant servant or waitstaff to your child.

Natural law prohibits all forms of corporal punishment of children, and all punishment, deeming it kidnapping when understood in context, in vs. 21. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers literally to "stirring up" upset and resentment in children, as in the Jewish idiom of "stirring the pot". Ultimately, this refers to provocations to anger, meaning offenses against children, namely the slightest of offense perceived by the child, with this including, but not limited to, any physical or other punishment, regardless. The Apostle Paul was laying down the law for a group of Greek Christians carrying on the Hellenistic tradition of spanking children. Paul would have none of it in the churches that he oversaw as a deacon, and gave the commandment, intended by his pen to abolish corporal punishment and other forms of punishment or harshness against children. 

Things are getting better in the United States. In my own area, it has been years since I witnessed a child getting battered by their parents. The law here in Pennsylvania is slowly headed toward a spanking ban, with legislation being passed in 2014 banning the shaking or striking of an infant, including for disciplinary purposes. The idea is to change public opinion, and then the secular laws will reflect the popular opinion of adults. God's Law already prohibits spanking, so the idea is to bring up the law in front of pro-spanking parents in the form of pro-social non-association, perhaps convincing a few along the way, before we vacuum up the rest of the pro-spanking parents with the Great American Justice System. Arrest them all!

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, which is Satan's tomb! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
