Why adult authority does not exist: Understanding the Bible on caring for children

Many parents think that they are an authority figure over their children. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents believe that adults have authority over children, and can order children to do whatever adults want them to do. The fact of the matter is that the Bible prescribes that adults be caregivers, not lawgivers or lawmakers.

The actual parent-child relationship in the Bible is based on the doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling on the parent. 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of their parents, following them around like goslings to a mother goose. The Greek root word for "obey" in the New Testament refers to secure attachment.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethuzo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children too many times. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular belief, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

I myself do not seek to be in charge of a child. I seek to, whenever the opportunity comes, care for a child. I want to be a good caregiver to a child, meaning one who pleases and appeases the every vulnerable need of a child. Parents in biblical times were not lawgivers or lawmakers, but instead were caregivers towards their children. Mothers nurtured up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. Think a nursing mother and a father standing guard with a staff and rod. That was how it was in biblical times.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Mothers nursed their children to health, then giving them sustaining skin-on-skin warmth and love. Mothers were the primary caregivers of children, and did not exert any authority towards children, instead allowing children up until age 3 to suckle her teat, and children up until age 6 to never leave her side. Fathers stood guard, protecting the mother and child, wielding a rod and staff to whip intruders (meaning NOT children) with. Fathers, like mothers, also developed a secure attachment to children, after seeing mother and child in complete skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Fathers, however, had a sexual attachment to children, usually daughters, and were instructed by the deacons and elders of the Early Church to follow the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbation. Daughters also were attracted to fathers, creating a mutually unrequited sexual dynamic in the home between father and daughter, which was a sign of sexual purity in the home then. Sexual abuse was rare in biblical times, but when it happened, it was seen as deserving of death.

The Bible is codified law in this country, above the law of the land in fact, and casts a dominion over all of America. Only a few of us - the elect - will heed the warning. God's Law is above the law of the land, and outlaws the concept of adult authority. Adults have no official, legalistic authority over children. Adults are to be caregivers of children, not authority figures, as the Bible prescribes. It is good to care for a child, and nurture them. A woman is to nurture up close, and a man from afar, but both genders are to nurture children, not be "in charge" of children and order them around like slaves.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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 Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!  

Co-sleeping: Why co-sleeping is beneficial for a secure parent-child bond

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the irresponsible parenting choice. Most American parents are opposed to co-sleeping, with the most compelling arguments coming from medical professionals concerning "sleep dependence". The fact of the matter is that co-sleeping is necessary for a secure attachment, meaning a secure parent-child bond with children. The Bible commands that parents have a secure attachment with their children.

The Bible commands a secure attachment with children on the part of parents primarily. 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest in the presence of parents, following them around like goslings to a mother goose. The word "obey", in the biblical Greek, refers to secure attachment.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of a Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

It is common knowledge that children aged 2-6 refuse to go to bed at night, meaning refuse to go to their room to go to bed on their own. Many parents simply chalk it up to defiance, and punish their children for not going to bed on their own. The fact of the matter is that children are not ready to go to bed on their own at that age. Children have a primal fear, at that age, of being preyed upon by predators, and thus they crave the closeness of mothers to safely fall asleep. Most parents would argue that we don't live in ancient times, where predators could devour a child. However, predators exist even today that could devour a child - sexual predators. Co-sleeping does not encourage sexual predation against children because the mother is right there, and chances are the mother is not going to let it happen. Most child sexual abuse is committed by a father or father figure in the home, when the child is isolated in their own room at night. Biblical fathers in the Bible had a sex drive for their child, in which the good fathers masturbated to thoughts of the child. But also, the mother protected her children by sleeping next to them at night, so that fathers could not sexually attack them at night. 

Many parents, as well as medical professionals serving children, argue that co-sleeping leads to "sleep dependence", especially in the case of children with autism. This is a common argument against co-sleeping. However, psychohistory and evolutionary psychology say something very different about co-sleeping. In biblical times, children who slept next to their mothers shook off their parents at some point in their childhood, meaning asserted their independence and slept in their own area of the house. This was the first big milestone in a child's development. The goal of parenting in biblical times was independence, not obedience. Some children simply develop slower than others, but eventually, most everyone with autism will seek out sleeping on their own, on their own. 

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other, with the child soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Children went naked for a specific reason - so mothers could snuggle them up and cuddle them up when they were crying or upset. Fathers also formed a secure attachment when they stood by and saw the mother-child bond form. However, the secure attachment between father and child - especially father-daughter attachment - was sexual in nature. Deacons and elders in the Early Church instructed fathers to follow their sexual thoughts about their children to the end through masturbatory fantasy. Usually, the fantasy subsided, but the father grew closer to the daughter. Sexual abuse occurred then rarely, and only when fathers neglected their personal responsibility towards their sexual attachment towards their child, and refused to masturbate to thoughts of their children. That is where mothers came in, and slept next to children to guard them from the sexual entitlement of their fathers. The ancients did have a concept of child sexual abuse, and saw it as any sexual relations with someone under the age of majority, and it was seen as deserving of death. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger 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!

Skin-on-skin co-snuggling: Time-in the biblical way

Many parents think that time-out is an acceptable form of disciplining a child as an alternative to spanking or corporal punishment. Many parents start using time-out, then figure out that even that doesn't work. The fact of the matter is that children don't need time-out. They need time-in. There are many versions of time-in, but the biblical version is the best.

It says 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 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. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following them around as a gosling to a mother goose.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of children.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve both their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Children went naked in biblical times for a specific reason - so that their mothers could easily snuggle them up and cuddle them up when they cried or were upset. Crying and upset children were held to the bosom of mothers while co-snuggling, in mammary closeness.

How can the abovementioned context be replicated by mothers? When children cry or become upset, disrobe yourself at least to the underwear level, or preferably to the nudity level. In the throes of the temper tantrum, invite the child to throw off the clothing, in an encouraging way. You may find that children find clothing burdensome. Then, snuggle up your child to your bosom. This should stop crying in 1-2 minutes, in which case, with an older child, you can talk about what was wrong, and work out a solution to the problem. Whenever possible, avoid the word "no", and seek to compromise with your child. But, always, hear out their tears when you have to say "no", and do so while co-snuggling with your upset child in skin-on-skin format. In public, this can be done by taking your child to the ladies' room and snuggling up to him/her, giving the upset child skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy with mother.

In biblical times, mothers were the primary caregivers of children, and were charged with the duty of reassuring children. Mothers were charged with duties of providing nourishment and sustenance because mothers physically are adept to providing sustenance due to having breasts, with breasts functioning primarily, in our evolutionary history, towards the motherly duty of providing nourishment and sustenance to children. Attractiveness to men is simply a secondary role that breasts serve, and men can wait until the mother stops nursing and cuddling with her children. This is why children will always prefer their mother - she has breasts to nurture them with, whereas us men lack that feature.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

Respect: Why parents must earn their respect

Many parents think that they are entitled to respect from their children. These parents believe that they are deserving of respect just for being parents. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents want respect from their children, but think demanding respect from children in an entitled manner will achieve those means. The fact of the matter is that parents need to earn their respect from their children.

Christian attachment parenting was the traditional parenting in the Early Church. Christian attachment parenting is based on the concept of mutual submission, with parents bearing the burden of proof in all cases. It says 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 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the presence of their parents, following parents around like a gosling to a mother goose. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments and controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside of the family home, otherwise going in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately.

The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other in the nude, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Children went naked for a specific reason then - so that mothers could snuggle up and cuddle up their children when they were crying or upset. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with children once standing by and seeing them with their mothers. However, fathers often had a parent attraction to their children, usually the child of the opposite sex, usually daughters. Fathers purged those unrequited lusts by re-channeling them inwards through masturbatory fantasy. Daughters also fantasized about their fathers until puberty, as did sons about mothers until puberty. Masturbatory fantasy about children by fathers improved the relationship between father and child, or at least father and daughter.

Respect, in any home, is to be earned. Children owe you as a parent nothing in life, meaning a parent isn't entitled to respect just for being a parent. A parent has to earn their children's respect, and they do so properly using attachment parenting means. A parent is a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else. Not even respect. Not even praise. Not even forgiveness. Parents have no authority over their children, and are instead their bondservant, earning their lump sum once their children become fully independent. A parent is to demand nothing from their children, as God could take away their children at any time, and He sometimes does do just that. Respect for parents in biblical times was based on closeness to parents, not fear of punishment from parents.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

Original sin: Why adults have a sinful nature

The doctrine of original sin is one of the most misunderstood and misused of Christian teachings. However, at the same time, original sin is the backbone of Christianity - without original sin, there would be no reason for a Christ. In parenting, most people think of children when they think of original sin. Children are clinically entitled, but they aren't legally entitled, as children are sacrosanct under God's Law. Children are still learning what sin is, and how to avoid sin. We as adults need to focus on our own sins, instead of pointing the finger at children.

It says in Romans 3:9-18 KJV:

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one: Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.

The Apostle Paul was writing this passage to the Roman Christians. The Roman Christians, then, were becoming very prideful and boastful in their Christian faith. They thought they were the righteous ones just for accepting Christ. Paul was convicting them of their original sin, which all mankind is guilty of. Today, this passage is a testament to how God feels about humanity. God hates all mankind, so much that He doesn't want us to even exist in relation to Him. By default, all of mankind is marked for deletion. Only a few of us - the elect - will be saved by our own good works towards God and neighbor. The rest will be punished by suffering the second death, which is the ever-burning lake of fire and brimstone. God hates mankind especially for the one-sided incursion on child-kind by adult-kind. We as adults are, in relation to children, depraved and decadent sinners deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else.

The core of our sin nature is entitlement, and the core of our entitlement is want. Parental entitlement is at the lowest level of our entitlement, and when you avoid that one, you end up avoiding all the others. The Greek root word denoting all kinds of entitlement, including parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement is defined as wanting anything from children, period. It is not good to want anything in life, including from children, but since we all want things from children as depraved and decadent adults, it is good to ask politely and appropriately, accepting when children can't or won't fill our requests. Want is at the very core of our sin nature, and wants from children are at the very core of our wants. If what you want from a child would lead to a temper tantrum if they did not follow your instructions, don't want it, and avoid that want at all costs.

What washes away all sin and entitlement? Christian love, of course! Christian love is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in the context of parenting, prioritizing children first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to children, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from a place of fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of being depraved and decadent sinners deserving of absolutely nothing from children or anyone else. This prompts the sinner/parent to pay due penance for their sin nature, and serve the every vulnerable need of their children. In return, children rest securely in the submission of parents, feeling safe and secure in their arms. 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. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest in the presence of parents, following them around like goslings to a mother goose. The word "obey" in the New Testament, when applied to children, refers chiefly to a secure attachment, not fearful compliance based on fear of punishment.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with kidnapping being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your own child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when outside the home, otherwise going in the nude in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child sleeping next to each other, and children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Mothers were so humbled by the presence of their child that they went completely naked just to please them, and to feed them with their teat for the first two years of their lives. This humility was because parents in biblical times believed that they were depraved and decadent sinners who were deserving of absolutely nothing from their children, and therefore that children were deserving of everything from them, especially nourishment and sustenance. Attachment parenting was the traditional way of raising children in the Early Christian church communities.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

Religious child abuse of pedophilic children: Understanding pedophile hysteria from its source

Many people today are on the side of pedophiles. However, most supporters of pedophiles side mainly with sex offenders and other abusers. Most people do not understand what pedophile hysteria is. Many of us in the pro-pedophile community talk about it, but nobody seems to know what it is. The fact of the matter is that pedophile hysteria is a form of religious child abuse, with the pedophiles who are abused and oppressed the most still being children themselves.

What is pedophilia? It is a myth that most pedophiles are narcissists. Most pedophiles have a form of autism where the age-oriented sexual preferences of the individual correspond with their developmental level. Usually, such individuals have an autistic specialty in children, meaning they focus heavily on issues surrounding child care and children's rights. Usually, the pedophile is more socially apt around children, and only wants children as friends. Otherwise, most pedophiles don't want adults as friends, and socially isolate themselves. Pedophilic children are the most abused and oppressed of pedophiles. The first sign of a pedophile in a child is when the child defends younger siblings or other younger family members against parental admonition by way of acting like a defense attorney. In the eyes of the pedophile, children can do no wrong, and even if they do something wrong, they are absolved. 

Pedophile hysteria does not come from a single entity, with the children's rights community merely endorsing the already existing prejudice for a couple of decades, with child advocates and trauma survivors feigning a prejudice. The actual prejudice comes from false and abusive doctrine concerning masturbation. One of the Bible passages commonly used to scare pedophilic children into not masturbating to fantasies of children is Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, including sexual desire towards children. This word refers to, in the context of pedophilia, adult sexual entitlement, which is defined as, officially speaking, sexual wants, to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child. Masturbation to thoughts of children was, in fact, a religious requirement that kept adult men in particular from sexually assaulting or raping children. It was a form of re-channeling unrequited lusts inwards.

How did the prejudicial hysteria against pedophiles start? Every pedophile was once a child. Most pedophiles, in their childhood, have endured sexual shaming abuse as a form of child sexual abuse. Quite a few pedophiles were victimized as children with corrective rape, with hope that rape from an adult would "cure" the disorder. Many pedophiles were told to pray away their disorder. Most pedophiles have a religious trauma from abusive religious parents, and since they are pedophiles themselves, they can't blame pedophiles, so they blame either parents, Christians, or both. Most pedophiles are not religious people, but are atheists or agnostics of the jaded type. Pedophilic trauma is a very dark trauma. As a pedophile survivor myself, I can tell you that my trauma is like staring down into a dark abyss, which I have submerged using "innocent until proven guilty" methods. Thankfully, none of the abuse I endured was because I was a pedophile. The vast majority of pedophiles weren't so lucky, and have to hide their secret even from their parents, who likely already know and hold a grudge against them. 

"Sexual shaming" trauma is enough to make anyone angry at the world, and when done in the name of false religious teaching, enough to make anyone hate religion. I never experienced any of that sexual shaming as a child, as my pro-parent liberal parents were the type to lean on concerning sexual issues. My parents' mistake was punishing me for defiance unrelated to pedophilia, and then, since I was a pedophile, I never forgot about my lawful trauma, and never will fully. I hate all parents, and all adults, and hate that they blame me when they are the ones doing the abusing, with the secular law covering for them. The secular law burned me, while God's Law casts a dominion over my parents, and they sure have heeded the warning. I myself have a "parental rights" trauma, meaning I hate the fact that parents and adults even have rights in relation to children, and so I don't protect my own parental rights.

If your child discloses to you that they are a pedophile, what should you do? All they need is someone to talk to, and usually, they need that safe person to talk to only for a little bit, before processing everything and moving on with their life. Also, allow your child space to masturbate. Simply check the web history to see what images they used on the Internet. Pro-social misuse is using images not intended as pornography for that purpose. If they do that, that is a good sign, and their image use should stay along that pattern. If it is intended as pornography, it should be blocked. Pedophilia is a self-healing disorder, with an optimal prognosis. Most pedophiles, contrary to media hysteria, are victims of crime and abuse, not perpetrators. There is no need to be overly sensitive to pedophiles. Most pedophiles are not narcissists with an honor code, but instead have a form of immature autism where they need to be treated with kid gloves. That is the only way people are going to accept pedophiles - as big kids.

I myself have people to talk to regarding my pedophilia, with the first and foremost person being my mother. I can tell my mother anything about this disorder of mine, and so I have it good in that regard. Most pedophiles have nobody to talk to, not even their parents. Many times, parents know, and try to stomp all over the fantasies about children. My parents were in denial, especially my mother, but now she believes it, and understands the difference between pedophile and child sexual predator. But, she doesn't feel safe telling anyone about the difference, and so I have to, isolated in that regard. At least all these people that I told know and understand.

Most people who truly hate pedophiles are also sexual abusers of children. Child predators groom on two sides of their profile, namely one side for children, and the other side for pedophiles. Some sexual abusers, due to the nature of their entitlement, get into positions of power, usually of a policing nature, and that's how the prejudicial hysteria began. Most actual pedophile hatred isn't simply saying the wrong thing, but instead a form of grooming that projects an abuser onto an easy target, as pedophiles replicate their abuser with their profile. 

Trauma survivors and their allies simply feign a prejudice, and that feigned prejudice could go away at any time once the right pedophile is found to educate survivors as to where their abuse comes from -  sexual abuse happens at such a low level that it seems to survivors to come out of nowhere. Trauma survivors simply are feigning to reiterate a long-standing prejudice against pedophiles. I myself strive to educate survivors on who their abuser actually is - parents, and by extension, all adults. I seem to be making great headway.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who project their abuserhood onto pedophiles, and sexually abuse children, will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever punished in torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Christian attachment parenting: Why attachment parenting is commanded in the Bible

Many parents believe that the Bible commands them to punish their children. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents believe strongly in punishing children. Very few parents believe in attachment parenting. However, the Bible, when understood in context, prescribes attachment parenting as a means of dealing with children. Christian attachment parenting is secure attachment that backs up a Judeo-Christian example.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is defined as the slightest of unattainable want. It is not good to want anything in life, but since we all want something as depraved and decadent human beings, it is good to ask appropriately, and accept "no" for an answer. Entitlement is at the core of our sin nature, and want is at the core of our entitlement. We as fallen human beings have a depraved and decadent sin nature, and are deserving of absolutely nothing. If you want something that can lead to a temper tantrum upon hearing the word "no", don't want it, and avoid that want at all costs. Children are watching your every move as a parent, and thus parents should always impart a disciplined, non-entitled Christian example.

Christian attachment parenting is the component of a Christian parenting system that backs up a Christian example. Christian attachment parenting motivates the child to do the work to emulate the Christian example of their parents, by creating a safe place for children to do the work to be like their parents. Christian attachment parenting is based on the doctrine of mutual submission, with parents bearing the burden of proof in the relationship. 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, with parent believers resting in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents were seen as extensions of Christ, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, with children following parents like goslings to a mother goose. The word "obey" in the King James Version, when translated into biblical Greek, refers to rest in parents due to secure attachment, not fear of punishment. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a 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 its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went naked in the family home, in order to serve both their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, where mother and child were fast asleep next to each other in the nude, with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact in bed with their mother. Children went naked for a reason - so that mothers could easily cuddle them up and snuggle them up when children were crying or upset. Fathers who stood by as the mother co-snuggled with her children also developed a secure attachment to their children. Usually, though, fathers who formed a secure attachment to a child - which was most fathers of the time - developed a parent attraction to the child of the opposite sex, meaning usually their daughter. Fathers were instructed by church leadership to follow the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbation. The sexual fantasy about the child brought the father closer to the child, but usually only the child of the opposite sex. Mothers saw children on a more objective level, and loved brothers and sisters of both sexes equally.

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!

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior in children

All parents have had to deal with it at some point in their parenting journey. Children cry. Crying is a common reason for parents punishing their children. Most parents only tolerate crying in infants, and even then, some infants are shut out as well. The fact of the matter is that crying is not bad behavior. All children cry for the same reason an infant cries - they want love!

It says 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 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. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers are to rest in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following them around like a gosling to a mother goose. Obedience, in the Bible, is synonymous with secure attachment, meaning parents must form a secure attachment with their child, and have them listen that way.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Children in biblical times, when they cried or became upset, were co-snuggled with mothers, with children being placed on the bosom of mothers, with mothers being in mammary closeness to children. 

What can be done to replicate the abovementioned context? Mothers should, when their child is crying, disrobe to the level of at least underwear, or preferably fully naked. Mothers should then invite the child to throw off the clothes. You may find that, usually, children do not want to wear clothing when they are in the midst of crying or while upset. Then, hold them to the bosom area, soothing them with your embrace, empathizing with them in your words. Just do this once, and it should feel like what a mother should naturally do when their child is crying or upset. In public, this can be done by taking your child to the ladies' room and engaging in mammary closeness in a bathroom stall.

Crying is a means of communication for a child. Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and the greatest of these is attachment! So your child is crying out for attention? Then give them attention. Attention is, in fact, a child's greatest need, meaning all children need some loving attention every now and then. It just so happens that such a need, with mothers, can be met in skin-on-skin format, with children resting in the bare bosom of mothers, in mammary closeness. 

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!

Original sin: Why child entitlement is the one entitlement to let go

Many parents punish their children. The core, main justification for punishing children is that children are born in original sin. Most parents think this Christian fact means that children are to have the sin "beaten out of them". Sin is entitlement, and entitlement is sin. Children are entitled people, with child entitlement existing at every level of a child's entitlement. But, they are entitled in a specific way that makes child entitlement the one entitlement to let go in a person.

Entitlement is the core of our sin nature, and want is at the core of our entitlement. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is defined as the slightest of unattainable want. Child entitlement is when a child cannot accept the word "no". However, this is because of the inborn nature of children, in a way a child both cannot help, and cannot be expected to know better concerning their behavior.

Children are born with clinical entitlement at every level of their entitlement. However, this state of being changes automatically as children get older. Children have a nature where they want what they want when they want it, and due to their immature nature, they cannot possibly control those wants at that given time in their development. Children, as the get older, however, get better at centering their development.

Why do children get better at centering their entitlement on their own? When children have a secure attachment to a parent, they want to be like that parent. So, in an attachment parenting home, they are then challenged, on their own, to do the work to be like their parents. Thus, if children in a securely attached home are given a good Judeo-Christian example, they will work towards those ideals on their own. There is no need to punish or control children.

Children, despite being entitled, are not responsible for their entitled behavior. This is because righteous judgment means judging others and the world just as the Early Christians judged then. The Early Church taught that children were sacrosanct, meaning children did no wrong in the eyes of the court, even if they did, and whomever brought a child to trial was the one convicted. The rationale was that children were still learning the Law, and were only to be held liable to the Law when their religious education was culminated, and they were baptized into the church as adults. Only adult believers had to answer for their entitlement, to the court and to God. Children could do no wrong, and that's how children were valued in the Early Church, even when they did do wrong.

Attachment parenting needs to be used in order to properly cultivate a child's sin nature and teach them good values. Christian attachment parenting is imparting a Christian example to children, and backing it up with a secure attachment with children. Secure attachment is cultivated by way of a setup of mutual submission, with the parent bearing the burden of proof in submitting to children. 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. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, submitting to children as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following parents around like goslings follow their mother goose.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely 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 its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children too many times. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christians who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy, respectively. The core of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact with mothers. Children went naked for a specific reason - so that mothers could cuddle them up and snuggle them up when they were crying or upset. By day, children ranged next to mothers, following her around like a gosling to a mother goose, sometimes clinging to her. When children cried or were upset, children were held to the bare bosom of mothers, resting in her loving arms in the nude. Secure attachment to mothers automatically translated onto fathers. However, fathers usually felt parent attraction towards their children when coming to the point of secure attachment on their end - usually the child of the opposite sex, meaning daughters - in which case they followed the thought to the end using masturbation (pro-social fantasy).

When children have a secure attachment with their parents, they are motivated to work on their entitled wants. If children also have a disciplined and non-entitled example, children will naturally want to work on their entitlement issues, and grow up to be as strong and disciplined as their Christian parents. When children have a secure attachment with YOU as the parent, they like you in a way that they want to be just like YOU, and see YOU on the level of a superhero. What child wouldn't want to be like their parents if their parents were nothing but nice and respectful to them? 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

Black Friday: How to deal with crying and misbehavior in public

Today is Black Friday. Today, the profit margins of businesses nationwide can be expected to go into the black, with Christmas spending on gifts and other assortments stimulating the economy. Black Friday is a hectic day for everyone, and that includes children. Most parents punish their children for crying or engaging in misbehavior in public. Children are expected, from a young age, to be peaceable and orderly, when they can't possibly be due to their age and developmental level.

Punishing a child for misbehaving in public is a moral crime in and of itself, and comes from entitlement, namely parental entitlement. The Greek root word denoting entitlement, including parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement refers to wanting things from children, period. Wanting to control your child's behavior and demeanor in public is controlling demeanor, thus entitlement on your part as a parent. Children are going to cry, and they are going to do things considered improper under our norms, and you are just going to have to deal with it, and not be so entitled about wanting your children to behave a certain way. Deadly parental entitlement is when want is imposed upon a child, and when that imposition leads to an offense perceived by the child, it constitutes child abuse. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in context, as a moral context prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage, merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular belief, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Many parents get angry when their child throws a fit in public, or maybe spills toys all over the aisle. This sort of behavior is normal in children. Most crying and misbehavior in children is developmentally appropriate behavior. The only exception to this rule is when a child has a developmental disorder such as autism or ADD/ADHD. Otherwise, the child is acting in a manner normal given their age and development, and so "annoying" behavior should be let go, and you as a parent work on that anger to the point where it is non-existent.

A child is clinically entitled, meaning it isn't that they are choosing to be entitled to undermine you. A child wants what they want when they want it, and can't control their wants that well. Children get better with their entitlement automatically as they get older. Children generally don't embrace entitlement, but struggle in it, striving at the lowest level to behave, failing sometimes, getting back up other times and striving to center their entitlement. They always center their entitlement in the way that their parents have their entitlement centered. When children have a secure attachment to their parents, they want to be like their parents, and want to be non-entitled and disciplined like their parents. So, they work at it, and eventually get there. There is no need for punishment or controlling demeanors to "make" children behave. Children are going to want everything in sight in public, and maybe, Christmas might have to come early if they demand hard enough, meaning you'll need to get them what they want right off the shelf. 

When a child cries in public, DO NOT scold or punish them. Simply listen to them and say empathetic things to them, understanding how upset the child must feel. Mothers can simply hold the child to their bosom. Mothers should wear low necklines, not for the men, but so that their crying and upset child can have skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy with mothers. Skin-on-skin comforting strategies can also be applied by taking the child to the ladies' room and snuggling with them in a stall in skin-on-skin format. Fathers should simply stand by and empathize with the child, if the child is left alone with them, but usually, the child wants mom, not dad. 

How can a parent not get angry with a child? Be convicted of the knowledge that you are a depraved and decadent sinner/parent who is deserving of absolutely nothing from your child, or anyone else for that matter, with the sinner/parent being grateful for everything that their children bring them. When you take an undeserving attitude towards your child such as this, you don't get angry with your child at all.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

Why not to threaten children with Santa

Many parents believe in Santa Claus, and many parents teach this myth to their children. Some parents here in the children's rights movement do not believe in Santa Claus at all, meaning Santa doesn't come to many of our houses here in this community. I personally shun Santa Claus because he is a replicate of the Norse god Odin. Santa Claus is used as a behavioral modification tool to "get" children to behave. Christmas is for all children, not just the "good" children.

What is the meaning of Christmas? Jesus Christ was born, and Christmas day is the day we commemorate it. Christ was actually born on September 11, 1 A.D. Since nobody wants to celebrate Christ's birthday on that somber day, we continue to celebrate Christmas on December 25. It is simply a belated birthday party for our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ was valued as God on earth, in child format. Most children were valued and worshipped similarly to Christ, namely as extensions of God, meaning installments of God called to convict adults of their charitable role, and report to God the progress in that endeavor. It must have been very eerie for Mary to actually give birth to God Himself, or more aptly, the Son of God.

Threatening a child, for any reason, is the moral crime of parental entitlement, including in the guise of Santa Claus. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, including parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement refers to wanting things from children, period. Wanting things from children include wanting control over them, and all attempts to impose your want to control them onto them, and that can include using Santa to threaten children who are not behaving the way you want them to. Deadly parental entitlement is when want is imposed on children, and when this leads to offense, that is child abuse in God's eyes. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a 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 its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding children hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan customs of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular belief, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children do not misbehave on purpose. Children are people who are still developing into adults, and will not become mature adults until they are a certain age, when they are completely independent and can take of themselves. All children need to behave once they are adults is a good Christian example of discipline and non-entitlement, backed up by attachment parenting, with this setup known as Christian attachment parenting. Threatening children with Santa is useless, because the child just acts up anyway, doesn't he/she? It may be an empty threat, but it may cause fear in the child, and that kind of fear is unnecessary and abuse. Just give the child space to grow up on his/her own. Children develop on their own, not with the help of parents. 

In the mean time, until becoming a responsible adult, they may cry or pout, but such is normal behavior for children to engage in, and behavior they will grow out of in due time. Almost everything we find to be misbehavior in children is actually developmentally appropriate behavior (and when it isn't, think a developmental disorder of some sort), and should be let go or else gently redirected. If the child does not respond to the redirection, they most likely did not understand your words, and won't until a later date - when they become more developmentally mature. Children are clinically entitled, meaning they want what they want when they want it, and can't control their wants. A child's ability to control their wants differs from child to child, and by what age they are. Some children have a developmental disorder such as autism that further hampers development of self-control. Children are not going to be able to be self-controlled and disciplined all the time. At least not until they become adults. They need a Christ to get behind in that regard, until they can behave themselves on their own - and that Christ to get behind is YOU.

How should Christian attachment parenting be done? Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they were adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve her husband and her children, separately. Mothers served their children by providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting is skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other in the nude, with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Children went naked for a specific reason in biblical times - so mothers could cuddle them up and snuggle them up when they were crying or upset. Show warmth and love to your crying or tantrumming child, and reassure them through their big feelings. Also, do not say "no" unless you absolutely have to. Children do not have to hear the word "no" uttered all the time. Only when their demands are unreasonable or immoral. There is no need for any threats from Santa of coal, or worse, a "whip that cracks". 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger 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!

How to teach your child thanksgiving - without spanking or punishment

Thanksgiving is just a day away. Thanksgiving is more than just getting full on turkey and stuffing. It is about giving thanks to the Lord for everything we have, for we deserve absolutely none of it. Thanksgiving is named after one of our founding Judeo-Christian family values - thanksgiving. This word is still used in fundamentalist circles, with me being a Christian fundamentalist in admitted format.

Teaching children thanksgiving requires a specific, thankful example for children. Thanksgiving and gratitude do not come in a vacuum. True thanksgiving for the good things in life comes from Christian love. The Greek root word denoting Christian love is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to prioritizing your neighbor first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to your neighbor, expecting absolutely nothing in return. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from a place of fearful conviction, where you are convicted that you are a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing in life. This leads to the sinner paying due penance for their sinful nature by serving their neighbor. Children were also considered your neighbor in biblical times. The phrase "expecting absolutely nothing in return" implies not expecting anything, period. When you take an undeserving attitude, and expect nothing from anyone, you become grateful and thankful for everything. As depraved human beings, we are deserving of absolutely nothing, and so we should be thankful for absolutely everything, because God can take away anything and everything that we own, as well as the world that we live in - He has that power. Children are watching our every move, so if you want them to be thankful this Thanksgiving, give thanks yourself around them. Perhaps invite them to pray for thanks to the Lord for everything.

Every child needs a good example in terms of thanksgiving. However, any thankful example needs to be backed up by something. Punitive measures such as spanking and punishment don't work - they create resentment, and ultimately drives children away from the good values that this country was founded on. Attachment parenting is the only way. Attachment parenting creates a safe place for children to absorb the Judeo-Christian values of thanksgiving in their environment, at their own pace. It says 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 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, sacrificing for their children, just as Christ Sacrificed for His children, with children being a Godhead for parents to serve, and with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following them like goslings follow their mother goose.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children in biblical times were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding a child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they were adults. Women only wore clothing outside of the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting is skin-on-skin co-sleeping, where mother and child are fast asleep next to each other, with the child soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact, in total bliss! Children went naked for a specific reason - so that mothers could cuddle them up and snuggle them up whenever they were crying or upset, and for easy skin-to-skin contact come nighttime. This secure bond translated onto the father automatically. This sort of parenting led to a secure parent-child bond that lasted for a lifetime...The context contained herein is applicable today just as it was in the days of old, albeit with some tweaking. 

Fathers usually developed a parent attraction towards children of the opposite sex, meaning usually daughters. This attraction should be dealt with by following the sexual thoughts about your child to the end using masturbation (pro-social fantasy). In the Early Church, most adult men were pedophiles towards their own children, usually of the abstinent sort that instead masturbated to sexual thoughts of their child. This improved the relationship between father and child...The context contained herein is applicable today just as it was in the days of old.

Attachment parenting is the way towards winning your children over to your values. You don't beat good values into children. You win them over to your values by forming a secure attachment with your children. That gives them a safe place for them to absorb good Judeo-Christian family values, including the value of thanksgiving, at their own pace. Attachment parenting makes children want to be like you, and so when you value being thankful as a family value, and practice it yourself, so will your child. Children see every choice you make, and observe every attitude you come to, and so behave when around children, and take a thankful attitude. Then, attachment parenting should win over your children to those good values that you model.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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!

How to parent your pedophilic child

Many parents just know when their child is becoming a pedophile. It is a very low-level observation, usually by tracking which attraction figures children look at. Most parents know where their children are looking, and know at some level that their child is a pedophile. Most parents who find out their child is a pedophile punish and are controlling with their child, and this is where parents get it entirely wrong. Pedophile parenting is not supposed to be harsh and punitive. It is to be listening and loving. 

What is pedophilia? Most pedophiles do not sit on a narcissist. Instead, most pedophiles simply have a form of autism where their age-oriented sexual preferences correspond with their immature developmental level, due to arrested emotional development. Usually, pedophiles have an autistic specialty towards children, where they specialize in knowledge surrounding child care and children's rights. Usually, pedophiles relate to children better than they do other adults, usually only having a social drive for children as friends, and otherwise, they don't want friends. Most individuals with autism are, at best, impatient with children. So, if someone with autism has infinite patience for children, and maybe defends them from being scolded and reprimanded, think pedophile. It is a myth that all pedophiles are religious. Pedophiles are either ultra-religious or else very anti-religious, but usually, they are anti-religious due to being burned by abusive religious parents.

The core of the hatred of pedophiles does not come from children's rights. It is a form of religious child abuse connected to a form of religious bigotry against pedophiles that dates back to Constantine taking over the Christian Church. The hatred and hysteria come from abusive religious parents who sexually shame and abuse their children for having pedophilic sexual fantasies, as well as their sexually shaming "Christian" teachings. Sexually abusive parents of pedophiles stomped all over the sexual fantasies of pedophiles, even using lurching techniques to sexually shame and abuse their children with pedophilia. A common Bible passage misused to shame pedophilic children is Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery already with her in his heart. 

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, including sexual desire towards children. This refers to sexual desire, to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child. Masturbation was acceptable in biblical times, and was actually required for those without access to a spouse, as a plausible alternative to sex outside of marriage. God has no problem with a pedophile masturbating to thoughts of children, and, in fact, He wants that to happen because sitting on sexual desire leads to entitlement. Therefore, any mention of "evil thoughts" in the Bible, in context, refer to wants and entitlement, meaning want, to the point of imposition.

Pedophilic children are generally highly sensitive, to the point where never cease to be aware of trauma. Most children will sit on a trauma from punitive parenting. A pedophile will run riot and try to overthrow their parents, usually taking a rebellious attitude towards their parents to the extreme. All forms of punitive parenting are prohibited explicitly in the Bible. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a 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 its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments and controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children then were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen then as holding a child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

All a pedophilic child needs regarding their pedophilia is someone to talk to, and a parent to listen to their crushes on children. It is a form of talking about the issue known as clinical celebratory discussion of pedophilia. This is not an interrogational way of dealing with pedophilia, but casual, friendly discussion about sexual thoughts about children, including crushes on children. It doesn't come out like a bomb, but instead is like disclosing any low-level mental health disorder. There is likely to be a lot of giggling or laughing gas expressions of attractions to children. Usually, the discussion goes dormant after it is allowed for a while, and that is because they don't need to talk past that point - they can deal with their condition on their own. Until then, they need to know that they can talk to you about anything and everything under the sun, and that, even if they are a pedophile, you will still love them.

The depraved and decadent 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!

Why abuser registries benefit pedophiles (and why we need to register them ALL)

Many people hold abuse registries as an anti-pedophile opinion. I am opposed to limiting registries to sex offenders, and want to see any adult who abuses a child put on that registry, and then have child abuse definitions expanded. There is a reason why I support registries as a pedophile, and it has nothing to do with anything I did wrong. Pedophiles are at high risk for child sexual abuse as children - and that is where the actual hysteria came from.

Where does the hysterical prejudice against pedophiles come from? Many think it comes from the movement where I sit. It does not. We just created a misnomer, knowing enough about the issue of child sexual abuse to know that most pedophiles were victims of child sexual abuse. In the 1970s, when our movement started, many people on the opposing end were calling themselves pedophiles when they didn't fit the diagnostic criteria for pedophilia. 

Pedophilia is a mental disorder, not merely a sexual orientation, and not a choice. The key to solving the issue of mental health stigma is to admit to pedophilia as a mental illness, and so I do. The main problem for actual pedophiles is that no therapist knows how to treat them. Most therapists do not know what, or rather who, a pedophile is. 

Where does this mental health stigma of pedophiles come from? Most pedophiles endure severe religious child abuse as a child, usually involving lurching behavior intended to stomp all over fantasies. Most pedophilic children are punished as children for their fantasies, many times through corrective rape. A large amount of pedophiles suffered child sexual abuse themselves, and they suffered it because they were a pedophile, and because a pedophile is an easy target for such abuse.

Pedophile victims of child abuse deserve justice. I support scrapping the old registry, and creating a new one for ALL abusers of children, and we can call it the parent registry, since most adults who abuse children wear the glorified title of parent. Most pedophile survivors of child abuse hate their parents with a vengeance, and carry around a "parent" trauma. Most pedophiles that I have dealt with at the Virtuous Pedophiles forum were anti-religious, and many hated me because I was a Christian. Many parent detectives are pedophiles, and they don't hide it. 

A pedophile never forgets abuse from parents. Parents are the offenders that need to be registered. We don't need to register people for things such as open lewdness or indecent exposure. Let's keep the registry to offenders who have actually abused someone, and expand it to every single parent and adult who has abused a child, and then change the law so that children can perceive their own abuse. The core of all survivors of parental abuse are pedophiles, as pedophiles remember their whole childhoods, enough to, many times, be very confrontational about their trauma. Pedophile trauma is very jaded. You hate adults in particular, because adults hate children, and you love children and never will stop loving children.

Maybe most sexual offenses against children are situational offenses, but why should we care about someone who made the wrong choice due to being irresponsible with their sexual health? All they had to do was whip it out and masturbate to the child crush, and then they would be cured. Most actual pedophiles know this, and do the right thing. An actual pedophile does not sexually abuse a child, and if they do, they don't deserve that label as a medical excuse for abuse. As an ordinary citizen with pedophilia myself, I don't care about a sex offender who groomed a child and made their life a living horror. I love children, and honor God's Law, and so I don't behave that way around children anymore (I did in the past). It makes me very angry to know that such an adult abused a child that way, and I only wish them well if they seek to reform their sexual hatred of children.

I myself am a sex offender, albeit an unregistered one. I bring up this topic a lot in order to warn people of my risk, and to be honest in a pro-social manner. In one location, I followed around young girls until they became annoyed and uncomfortable, thus a sexual offense under my Christian purity and cleanliness standards. I was obsessive and delusional about the child targets that I victimized, thinking I could actually go somewhere with an attraction to a child. I would have deserved to be registered for my crimes, if that was available, and in some countries (ex. United Kingdom, Iceland). I am a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else, and am to be grateful for all the clemency that was shown to me.

What is pedophilia? Most pedophiles are not narcissists. Most pedophiles simply have a form of autism where their age-oriented sexual preferences correspond with the developmental level of the individual with autism, due to arrested emotional development. Most pedophiles simply have an autistic specialty in children, meaning they can relate to children more so than fellow adults, and may only want to be friends with children, isolating themselves from adults. Usually, pedophiles live on the fringes of communities, peaceably existing alongside their neighbors, while not talking to them and keeping to themselves. A pedophile has a gift with children, when they are non-abusive, and are born nurturers. I myself am very good with children, and don't find them annoying one bit. I love being around children in public venues, especially the attractive young girls! When someone with autism has infinite patience with children, think pedophile.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who prey on children and commit fornications against them will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them BURN in torrents of everlasting Hell-fire! Repent!

The attachment parenting traditions of the Bible: Why attachment parenting is in our traditions

Many parents think that they have to punish their children, because it is in our traditions to punish children. This is a common sentiment amongst American parents. Most American parents punish their children or else are controlling with them. These parents often see child punishment as a Christian tradition. I myself am a Christian dominionist. God cast a dominion on my worldview, and I must believe just as God does, and not as the world panders me to believe. I also am anti-spanking, and my Christian tradition calls for Christian attachment parenting, just as it was practiced in the Early Church.

We, as a society, are a Christian nation. We as a society glean from the Bible and its context, in order to gain wisdom and guidance as to how our society should be set up. The Bible is codified law handed down by God Himself to cast a dominion on all of mankind, knowing only a few will heed the warning. We as a nation were founded on Christian family values, and those values should be enacted into law. Most people don't understand is that such values include attachment parenting, and that fact is proven time and time again in the context. 

Christian attachment parenting is best understood by the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. It says 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 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. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ, sacrificing for the children, just as Christ sacrificed for His children, with children being a Godhead for parents to serve, and with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of absolutely nothing from their children, and have to pay due penance for their sin nature by being a bondservant to their children. Children rested securely in the presence of their parents, just as goslings rest securely with their mother goose.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages of offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating a child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children in biblical times were not seen just as "pure" or "innocent". Children in the Early Church, as well as their Jewish predecessors, were seen as extensions of God, meaning installments of God called to convict parents of their charitable role towards children, and report to God what kind of service they received from their parents. Parents then were merely hired bondservants, serving children as they would God, fearing and revering their children, as children could turn them into the Lord for the smallest iota of needs not provided for. Parents had to please God by pleasing their child, keeping their child happy.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve both their husbands and their children. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep in the nude, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. By day, children ranged next to mothers, following them around like goslings follow a mother goose. Children went naked for a specific reason in biblical times - so that mothers could cuddle them up and snuggle them up when children were crying or upset. For the first six years of childhood, time with children was to be spent together. For the last six years of childhood, time with children was to be spent apart, with fathers encouraging bold feats of independence. 

The mere presence of fathers in biblical times during the child's formative years created a father-child bond that would last forever. For fathers, however, attachment parenting triggers a parent attraction in fathers, which should be dealt with by way of pro-social fantasy, meaning engaging in masturbatory fantasy in order to purge unrequited lusts towards children. Purging unrequited lusts of any kind through masturbation was actually a Christian requirement in the Early Church. Adult sexual entitlement is the main entitlement that fathers struggle with, and they should struggle against approaching their children sexually by re-channeling their desires for their children by way of solo masturbation.

The depraved and decadent sinners who provoke 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!

"Provoke not your children to anger": What this means in practice

Many parents believe that it is okay to punish or be controlling with children. This is a common sentiment amongst American parents. Most American parents punish or are controlling with their children. This is a sad fact, but a true one nonetheless. The fact of the matter is that God has issued a great commandment to all parents everywhere. "Provoke not your children to anger". 

The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, including parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, this refers to wanting things from children, period. It is not good to want anything in life, including from children. But, since we all want something from children, it is good to ask politely and appropriately, accepting when children can't or won't give us what we want from them. Deadly parental entitlement is when want is imposed on a child, in which case, once that leads to offense by the child, it becomes child abuse. See Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time (see also Exod. 21:16). Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with kidnapping being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context for a group of Greek Christians who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

What does it mean not to provoke a child to anger? In the Early Christian context that this commandment was given to, damages and offenses towards a child was understood, at the bare minimum, as the slightest of tears. With that said, tears in parenting are inevitable, so in order to prove your non-entitlement as a parent, you have to constantly attend to and listen to your child's tears. In biblical times, a crying child that was unattended was immediately seen as in danger of child abuse. The ancients had their standard of child abuse, and when a child was crying without support or comfort, usually coming in skin-on-skin fashion, that was seen as a provocation to anger towards the child, and thus an offense or damage. Other forms of damages were marks and bruises on the child (no matter how temporary), and loss of virginity (in the case of child sexual abuse).

The parenting manuals clearly spelled out how a child was to be treated. Children were not simply forced into a role of purity and innocence, otherwise expected to be seen and not heard. Children were seen as extensions of God, meaning installments of God called to convict parents of their charitable role, reporting to God about how charitable their parents really were. Children were constantly judging parents as to how they were treated, according to the parenting manual excavated by archeologists. The cardinal rule in parenting was not to provoke your child to anger, meaning offend them or damage them in any way. Parenting advice in ancient times was not intended as parent-to-parent comfort, but as fearful conviction straight from the church leadership. Alongside the Epistle to the Colossians, such parenting manuals were attached to the letter as an addendum. Children were to be feared in ancient societies, and in Early Christian society, children were to be feared reverently, with parents struck with reverent fear and terror. Mothers were put in a pro-social paranoid state where they knew that if they failed to provide one bit for their child, they were that careless for God.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when outside the home, otherwise going in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Mothers were required by law then to comfort their crying child, lest they appear as a child abuser. Mothers usually comforted and reassured children then by way of skin-on-skin comforting strategies. Mothers went in the nude at home, and children went naked so that mothers could easily cuddle them up and snuggle them up when they were crying or upset, co-snuggling and co-sleeping next to children, with mothers soothing their children with sustaining comfort and affection. Refusing to do any of this, as per the parenting manuals handed to church parishioners in the Early Church, equated to a provocation to anger against children under the Law. Mothers then were reverently afraid of "getting it wrong", which drove them to excel at motherhood in terms of offering nourishment and sustenance. Offending a child then, due to their vulnerable status, was the same as offending God.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke not your 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!
