Why obedience is love for your neighbor (and your child is your neighbor)

Many people believe in the concept of obedience, and a few people that are here don't. I myself hold peaceable Anabaptist beliefs, and my theology is heavily reliant on obedience, meaning submission to your neighbor and to God. A child is my neighbor, and she is in place of God on earth, and I am to obey her as my neighbor.

It says in Matthew 22:35-40 KJV:

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment of the law? Jesus said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and all thy soul, and all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

The Greek root word translated "love" is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to a general attitude towards life that puts others first, and you last, to the point of submission and surrender to your neighbor, and to God. The idea is to esteem your neighbor before yourself, as you would for God...with children being among your more vulnerable neighbors (Matt. 25:31-46).

Every single parent and adult is guilty in relation to children, and is deserving of DEATH and DESTRUCTION merely for existing in relation to children, with parents/adults being meek and shamefaced in relation to children. Parents especially are to esteem their children above all others, prioritizing children first, and parents last, to the point of complete dutiful and selfless submission to a child and their every need, expecting absolutely nothing in return, leading to rest in the love and grace of parents. The commandment for obedience to your neighbor, as applied in parenting, is denoted 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 become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Attachment parenting was the norm in biblical times. Think water pales full of water gathered from the creek by mother, with a young child wrapped to her bosom, with the young child being kept warm and cozy while feeding off of the breasts of mothers. This is how God wants you to raise your children today, and this context applies today, meaning not all of it, but parents should be trusted to get the gist of it. Children, up until adulthood, went in the nude to show their vulnerability, and this was so that children could receive skin-to-skin warmth and closeness from mothers. Closeness to parents was the goal of every parent in the Bible, meaning closeness to father and mother, but mother especially, was more important than good behavior.

Obedience is Christian love for your neighbor, meaning your child, and is stated in the negative in vs. 21 of this passage. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to offenses perceived by the child, meaning the slightest of offense perceived by the child, including the slightest of unwanted touch perceived by the child. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul and the surrounding legal context to prohibit all punishments and controlling measures in parenting. Paul here was admonishing Greek Christians who used the book of Proverbs to justify the pagan custom of spanking children that they brought into the church. The seven verses in Proverbs that depict the rod of correction are repealed verses, as they reference a dated legal punishment known only to the Old Testament context - the 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction. Such was administered in a courtroom (NEVER in a family home), on an ADULT child, for a summary punishment primary to the death penalty under Jewish law. Minor children could not be charged with any criminal offense or civil wrong, and thus were exempt from any prosecution, criminal or civil. In Hebrews 12:5-11, the rod of correction is used in figurative form, meaning NOT literal form, as a symbolic statement for enduring hardship - capital nor corporal punishment was used in the Early Church in law enforcement. Technically, accountability for a wife could be physical in nature, but a real man in Early Christian culture didn't strike his wife ever, as a man was seen as weak and a pansy for losing control enough to strike his wife. Striking children was completely off-limits, as Paul explicitly banned it in more than one of his divinely inspired epistles. The mere punishment of children that we have today would be pure witchcraft to the Early Christians.

Obedience is submission, and in Christian communities in this country, you submit to your neighbor, being grateful for everything you receive, being entitled to nothing in life. Obedience is love, and love is submitting to your neighbor, placing what they need or want above what you may need or want. Children are your neighbor to be hearkened to, and thus it is good to be grateful in relation to children, and ideally want nothing of them. Entitled to nothing from children, and grateful for the every respect and trust they show you, knowing that you are undeserving of anything good and caring from a child, and everything bad and disrespectful. I am not entitled to a child's care or concern, as I should feel that way about them, so I am grateful when a child does care about me, because I don't deserve that at all. That is the undeserving gratitude that every decent adult should feel.

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! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
