Original sin: Why parents and other adults are depraved sinners

The doctrine of original sin is the most misunderstood and most misused of all Christian doctrines. Yet, original sin is the backbone of the Bible and the Christian faith. Without a sin nature, there would be no need for a Savior. Original sin is a doctrine for adults, not children, to follow. The sin nature of adults should be of note.

The Tenth Commandment legislates what entitlement is, with this commandment being repeated in the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés). Entitlement, officially, is want to the point of imposition, with parental entitlement being entitlement in this regard in relation to children. But, why want anything from a child at all? The mere tendency to want from children, and others, is what defines our sin nature as adults and as human beings. Ask, and you shall receive from your child. Demand, and you get nothing from your child except resentment.

Every single parent and adult is guilty in relation to children, and is deserving of DEATH and DESTRUCTION in relation to children, with parents/adults being meek and shamefaced in relation to children, shut up by the Lord so that the children can speak, speaking to children only at their cue and consent, becoming a complete and total servant to children, being ashamed of one's adult status and not proud at all. Parents are to prioritize their children above themselves, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission and servitude to children and their every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return, leading to rest and security in the love and grace of parents. See 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 in the love and grace of parents. This is a trusting form of rest, where children feel completely safe and in respite with parents, with parents being a safe place for children to cling to and vent on. Attachment parenting was the norm in biblical times. Think a Christian mother holding pales of water, fetching water to drink and to cook with, with a young child wrapped in her bosom with swaddling blankets, and a nude older child following alongside her. Children feel safe in close range, or in closeness period, with mothers, and this enables children to follow the example of fathers. Mothers nurture, fathers encourage. Minor children cannot be ordered around lawfully and bindingly, as children are not legal subjects under the defense of infancy under the Law. Ask, and you shall receive from your child, and if not, they are to be righteously assumed not to be able to listen due to immature development, with the rare parental request being a righteous test. For the most part, apart from situations involving the safety or chastity of the child, children should be able to develop without adult interference, with the parent stating a request or plead when necessary, when a want is unattainable or unsafe. Minor and dependent children can enforce law on their parents to self-advocate a need or benign want.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages, meaning the slightest of offense perceived by the child, including the slightest of offensive touch or contact perceived by the child. The commandment in vs. 21 is the commandment to love your neighbor stated in the negative. Wherever it states in the Bible not to provoke someone to anger, it is implied that you must love them with the Agape love that you show your neighbor, as denoted by the Greek word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao). Paul here was lifting up the Law against punishing or controlling your child, which was considered kidnapping, meaning grand theft/damages against the child, due to the child's vulnerable status in society. The seven verses in Proverbs that depict the rod of correction are repealed verses, as they refer to a dated form of judicial corporal punishment - 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction, as a last warning before being put to death. King Solomon was surely anti-spanking himself, but in a posh, elite type of way. All the biblical writers were anti-spanking, as no Jew wanted to be seen as pro-spanking even then. 

I am a depraved and entitled sinner in relation to children, and am deserving of DEATH and DESTRUCTION merely for existing in relation to children. A child owes me nothing. I owe a child everything I can give them, which usually means personal space. I am a pedophile, and am guilty of antisocial "flirt". Other adults can admit their sins to Christ just like I do, and they should, and they must in order to be saved. If you hate children, you hate God.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger 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 them descend into the abyss that is the Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath for all eternity! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
