Parental entitlement: Threat number one to our children (and it is within all of us)

What is the major threat to children today? Parental entitlement. Is parenting a right? No, it isn't. You do not have a right to be a parent in the United States of America, and you do not have the right to parent as you wish in the United States of America. Parents have a poor track record of protecting and safeguarding children.

I am a depraved and entitled adult, deserving of DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children, being fearfully and convicted as to the needs of children, leading to fearful and dutiful submission to the every need of children, expecting absolutely nothing in relation to children. I hate my nature that supports sexual/behavioral neglect, yet am convicted the opposite is abuse as well due to my punitive upbringing. I am a pedophile, and improving as such, wanting nothing from children even if I really do want something from children.

Entitlement in the New Testament is denoted by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to the attitude of "I am a good parent/adult" leading to want from children or of children to the point of seeking to impose said want on children, leading to offense by way of entitlement imposed, meaning abuse. It is a demanding, controlling attitude towards children, stemming from the pride and self-esteem of the parent or other adult in the course of being an "authority" over children.

What can parental entitlement lead to? Child abuse, which is the slightest of offense perceived by a child victim, meaning the slightest of sexual perception by a child regarding an adult being sexual abuse, with sexual acts ranging from leering to rape. All child abuse comes from the same entitled place - parental entitlement.

But, don't we all feel entitlement towards children sometime? God hates it, but it is our fallen and depraved nature as human beings to hurt our children, either with physical or sexual (pedophilic) control. But, be not deceived, for there is punishment for abusing and oppressing a child. But, nonetheless, it is sin to be entitled to anything from a child. It says in 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

But I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such an no not to eat.

Parents are to be shunned in order to "raise the bottom". They have a self-harm addiction directed towards the child that is a part of our current culture. The goal is to be a menace to parents, judging them accordingly, winning over minds at the same time, so that pro-spank is cornered, and we can use the state as a vehicle to vacuum them up, locking up all the parents. If things keep going the way they are going, only a minority of parents will support punishing a child. The key is to judge based on entitlement, meaning the word "covetous". I, as an advocate and survivor, profile my abuser, the adult (including myself), as either entitled or not entitled, and a parent who is entitled is headed nowhere but "up" and a parent who puts the needs of their children first or strives to (however failingly) is going nowhere but "up", and that's how I judge.

It says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 about entitled parents:

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicator, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

Theft is child abuse, meaning offense perceived by the child (Col. 3:21), and covetousness is the parental entitlement that comes with it. Entitlement leading to theft...then the offense perceived as abuse colors the entitlement in the reverse as abuse. All parents are entitled at some level, or capable of entitlement. It is not good to be entitled towards a child. Entitled adults burn!
