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

Many parents believe the Bible justifies that children worship them and honor them, to the point where they demand respect and honor from children, instead of earn it. However, the fact of the matter is that, in the Bible, children were worshipped as installments of God on earth, meaning children were God's extension to rule adults from beneath.

It says in Matthew 25:45-46 KJV:

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

This commandment lays out the framework for pro-social child worship. Whatever you don't do for children, you don't do for God. This is because children are an extension of God, meaning they are installments of God on earth, intended by God Himself to bring the charity out of adult-kind, and judge adult-kind for either their charity or lack thereof. Children were vulnerable members of Jewish society, yet they were nonetheless empowered members of Jewish society. The topic of children, at all, was a sobering and convicting topic in Christ's Jewish society. Most of the Ancient Jews and Early Christians were not entitled in relation to children, but rather convicted of their sin nature. Children brought out the conviction in the Ancient Jews and Early Christians, as children were seen as holy and unblemished, even when they did do wrong. Children themselves were an altar to go to in order to be convicted of your sins. This, in practice, meant children could order parents around, petitioning and lobbying adults successfully from beneath.

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 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, owing absolutely nothing in return to parents. Parents are the enemy of children, just as mankind is the enemy of God, with parents being subservient to them just as they are to Him.

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 form of punishment 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, therefore treating your child as a 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.

Parents are to submit to children as they would to God. Love is submission, and submission is love. The Greek root word denoting Christian love is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in this context, prioritizing children first, and yourself as a parent last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission, expecting absolutely nothing in return from children or others, serving children as you would God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but instead a place of fearful conviction, where you as the parent come to the conclusion that you are a depraved and decadent sinner deserving of absolutely nothing from children and others, leading to the sinner paying due penance by way of acts of good works for their neighbor. Children are there to convict adults of their duties towards them, then judging adults on their service towards them.

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 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 central focus 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 the child soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The every vulnerable need of children was served by mothers especially, but also fathers from a further distance, with the child being lauded as an extension of God in the home to submit to and serve. Submission to children usually involves providing nourishment and sustenance to the child, selflessly and dutifully.

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!
