Why punishment of children is already banned in America

Many parents punish their children in the United States. It is assumed that not punishing children is an atheist and secular venture. Many non-punitive parents are atheists, but not all of us are ignorant to the Bible. I myself am a Christian conservative, of the peaceable Anabaptist sort, and my Christian pacifist views do not stop at battle lines. I am completely and totally opposed to punishing children in all its horrific forms.

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values, and we have certain family values that most Americans are not aware of, yet exist nonetheless in the framework that lays out the foundation of this country. The Bible is America's book, and God's Law is above the law of the land. Thus, spanking is already banned in this country. What are our nation's true parenting values? We need some norm, so lets start with the fact that our nation's founding was inspired largely by the laws and customs of ancient Israel - God's chosen country - lifted up by the Bible and spread across the world, creating Western civilization.

Our values teach us that every single parent and adult is guilty in relation to children, and are deserving of DEATH and DESTRUCTION merely for existing in relation to children, and are to be meek and shamefaced in relation to their children, convicted with reverent fear and terror of their child's every need, leading to prioritizing the needs of their child's needs first, and their needs last, to the point of submission and surrender to the every vulnerable need of children, with this form of Christian love being denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao), with children resting in the love and grace of parents, with parents providing and submitting from above, and children resting safely and securely with parents. See Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest and trust in parents, leading to children taking on the example of parents, honoring parents in their taking after the example of their parents. With minor children, this refers to attachment parenting, meaning with children wrapped up in swaddling blankets next to mothers, being breastfed until the age of 3, and remaining close to parents, with older children alternating between free play and the closeness of mom and dad. Children were allowed to freely develop, with the assumption that most all childish behavior is a developmental phase, but with the hope that children would take on the example of their parents, which they usually did, as they had much affection and admiration for their parents due to lack of punishment. Children demanded and ordered parents as to their needs, feeling safe in doing so around parents, not censoring their words when petitioning their parents for needs and a redress of grievances.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to a Christian standard of discipline and chastisement in parents, namely one that is entitled to nothing, and is grateful for everything, in relation to children in this context. Children owe parents nothing, and parents owe children everything, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with this forming a good, chastened up example for children to follow, backed up by a rare, agreed-upon verbal warning that a certain want of a child is unattainable or unsafe, with this being denoted by the Greek root word νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers ultimately to the word "no" and its various variants, as well as any other verbal instruction of parents, backed up by the mutual submission and cooperation between parent and child. This is all weighed by the Greek root word παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to provocations to anger against children, meaning the slightest of personal offenses perceived by the child, with first stanza in Eph. 6:4 intended by the Apostle Paul to ban all punishment and control in parenting. Paul was rebuking Greek Christians who misused Scripture to justify their pagan custom of spanking children. All of the verses that depict the rod of correction in Proverbs are repealed verses in Christianity, meaning they refer to a specific form of judicial corporal punishment that is dated - the 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction. Such a punishment was only for ADULT children of Hebrew parents, and only for a capital offense that was adjudicated in a criminal court of law. Just as American parents support spanking by citing Scripture, Greco-Roman Christian parents misused Scripture the same way, and that's where the punishment of children comes from - Greco-Roman paganism.

Punishment of children is banned in the United States. It is prohibited under the natural laws of this country giving civil liberties and freedoms to children, with the provocation to anger of a child being an entitled offense against a child. We as a nation are constantly evolving in how we understand our values, including new people into American society. We will eventually include children into society, eventually valuing their input on social issues. Before we include children into society, we need to ban the punitive parenting customs that are keeping them down. The custom is already banned, so we must lift up the law in front of scofflaw parents who aren't in compliance with Divine Codified Jurisprudence. The secular law will change, but only when popular opinion changes. Recent trends show significant change in opinion on spanking, with 61% of women and 85% of men using corporal punishment, a significant decrease, in fact. The idea is to get the men on board, and that involves anti-spanking informational campaigns that appeal to men, meaning usually something along the lines of "take responsibility as a father" and clarifying that it means no spanking. 

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 final resting place! Let them descend forever and ever into everlasting Hell and torment, suffering God's Wrath for all eternity! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
