Pro-social deification, pro-social child worship: Why biblical times were child worshipping times

Many parents think that biblical times were harsh times for children. There is a lot of false context concerning the Bible that speaks of child labor, and children being "chastened up" and "whipped into shape". This context is, in fact, unbiblical and heretical, even as its proponents call me the heretic. The fact of the matter is that the Ancient Jewish people, including the Early Christians, were a child worshipping people, with children being seen as deities of their own, extended by God for worship and veneration.

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 25:31-46 KJV:

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

The "least of these" in biblical times were seen as extensions of God and His Authority over mankind. In previous verses, Christ names the main groups of people that His Jewish culture were missing out on, in terms of charity. Whatever you refused to do to the least of these, you refused to do for God, and scrooges that refuse to do anything for anyone but themselves burnt in Hell. Children were regarded as the lowest caste in Jewish society, thus they were seen as extensions of God more than any other oppressed minority.

The centerpiece of an attached Christian parenting home is Christian Agape love for children, as denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao), and refers to prioritizing children first, and yourself as a parent last, in a fearful and convicted way leading to dutiful and selfless submission to children and their every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return from children or others, with children being extended by God for Christian love and charity, with children resting safely and securely in the good works 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. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, with parents sacrificing for their children, just as Christ sacrificed for His children, with children resting in this sacrifice and self-crucifixion. Parents labor, toil, and work to win over the trust and affection of children, with children resting in such love and good works. Attachment parenting was the established norm in Ancient Jewish culture, including the Early Church. In Ancient Israel, attachment parenting was mandated under Jewish customary law. In the Early Church, attachment parenting was mandated under church ordinance.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or abuse, namely child abuse in this context. Child abuse, as defined under biblical law, at minimum, is the slightest of personal offense perceived by the child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by the child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in the context it was given, as a ban on all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishment or controlling demeanor towards children. Spanking and other forms of punishment do not come from the Bible, but from the Roman Catholic Church pandering to the punitive parenting biases of European pagan cultures who beat and whipped their children into submission. Ultimately, the Roman Catholic Church was inspired by the Greco-Roman legal defense of patrias potestas, which translates either to "power to the father" or "power to the parent", and states that a father has the "right" to do anything within his power to control his home, including punishments such as spanking and corporal punishment. No such defense was allowed under Jewish law for minor children. In the Old Testament, there were rare whippings, but only in the form of 40 minus 1 lashes as a summary sentence for a capital offense, after a conviction in a criminal court of law. If a young adult child survived the 40 minus 1 lashes, they were given a second chance at life. Minor children could not be charged with or convicted of a criminal offense or civil wrong. The Early Church did not use capital or corporal punishment as a means of law enforcement, but instead used pro-social avoidance and pro-social non-association as a means of enforcing the law. The only exception was mutual accountability between spouses, which was rare next to non-existent, with men who had to resort to violence in family life, or at all, seen as weak and out of control. 

The national parenting of the Ancient Jewish people, including the Early Christians, was a special, distinct type of attachment parenting that deified children. Children were worshipped and venerated as extensions of God and His Authority on earth, with parents being struck with reverent fear and terror from their child's every vulnerable need, being compelled by the Lord to surrender and submit to the every vulnerable want/need of children, just as one would to God, serving children as their enemy, just as mankind is the enemy to God. The every vulnerable need self-advocated by children was Divine Law, and the Divine Right of children to order onto parents. Children issued lawful summonses and decrees, and parents obeyed fearfully and reverently, shaking and quaking in the lawful and binding summonses of children. Children could take their parents to court, and by that time, the case had already been decided, and sin guilt always fell on the parents. Parents could not issue lawful and binding orders in return.

How does this deified parenting pan out in person? Children were naked everywhere they went. Women also went naked in biblical times, in the family home, in order to serve their husband and their children. Mothers served their children by giving them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (for the first 2 years) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy (especially during co-sleeping). Children, by day, ranged beside their mothers, sometimes clinging to them. By night, children slept next to mothers, being guarded from threats both external and domestic, soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Fathers also nurtured a bit, but from afar, usually by encouraging a child's religious education. Fathers spoke to children on formal terms, until they were invited to "break the ice" and talk on casual terms. These formalities were observed by fathers because most adult men in biblical times were pedophiles of the abstinent type towards their own children, meaning fathers didn't have a driven attraction to their children, but instead had a connotational type of attraction to children, and usually only their own, due to the egalitarian and deified nature of the parenting. The deity of children was held by mothers in a hopeful, idealistic tense, and was also adored by fathers by way of idealized sexual attraction. Sexually abusing a child under the age of majority, in any way, was seen as pure wickedness by even the ancients, with the age of consent/marriage coinciding right with the age of majority, and with violators of such laws being seen as deserving of death and eternal punishment. Both parents took orders from their child, being righteously enslaved to their children, and heeded command from their child, interpreting the every self-advocated need of children as a lawful and binding summonses to meet said need.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
