Original sin: Why every single adult was born in original sin

The doctrine of original sin is the most misunderstood and misused of any Christian teaching. But, at the same time, the doctrine of original sin is the backbone of Christianity. Without original sin, there would be no reason for a Christ. Most parents think that their children are born in sin, and thus we need to "beat the devil out of them". Maybe children are born with a flawed nature, but shouldn't we be focusing on our own sins? 

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 have 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 ways of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. 

This passage was written to the Roman Christians in the 1st Century. The Roman Christians were becoming very prideful and boastful in their practice of Christianity. The Apostle Paul was convicting them of their original sin by listing all of the ways the Roman Christians were like the Roman pagans. Today, this passage is a testament to how God feels about humanity in general. God hates all mankind, so much that He doesn't want us to even exist in relation to Him. By default, all mankind is marked for deletion. Only a few of us - the elect - will be saved. The rest of mankind will suffer the second death, which is the lake of fire and brimstone, suffering eternity in Hell away from God. One main reason why God hates us is the one-sided incursion of adult-kind onto child-kind. We all, as depraved and decadent adults, are deserving of absolutely nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. Children are sentries of God called to spy on parents and other adults, in order to measure their charity and report directly to God. Sentries of God is how children were seen in Ancient Israel and the Early Church.

The Greek root word denoting 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 refers to wanting anything from children, period. It is good not to want anything in life, including from children. However, 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 give us what we want. Want is the very core of our sinful nature, and wants from children is the very core of our wants. We as adults are depraved and decadent sinners, who are deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else.

The most common sin nature of adults in America is parent anger. Many parents think it is good to motivate your parenting with anger. However, anger seeks to control the child, and impose wants onto children, which is entitlement. Also, children in biblical times were seen as sacrosanct, meaning they could not judge under righteous judgment. The biblical view of anger is that it is only allowed to be used in righteous judgment, and since children can't be judged, no anger at any child is ever acceptable.

How do you purge parent anger? Parent anger can be purged affectively by quitting anger cold turkey, namely by purging all anger the moment it surfaces. At the same time, a parent should declare themselves a depraved and entitled sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else. Once that declaration is made, parent anger should end up being turned inward, towards yourself, then percolating to nothing. This should lead to more gratitude towards your child, and seeing less fault in your child. The first step to declaring yourself a depraved and entitled sinner is seeing fault in your own anger. You, as a parent, are entitled to absolutely nothing from your child. Everything coming from your child, respect and all, is to be earned, or else not experienced at all by the parent from a child. The more you refrain from demanding things from children, all the while declaring yourself a sinner deserving of absolutely nothing, the less you will demand, until you demand none from your child. After a while of not demanding from your child, your parent anger will become out of practice, and will dissipate in the mind. Humbling yourself like this in front of your child purges all parent anger. 

Parent attraction is another form of parental entitlement, and can be dealt with by knowing that approaching a child for sexually entitled purposes is unlawful and wrong. Due to the strong nature of sexual desire, it is good to tar yourself as dirty in relation to the prospect of approaching a child for sexual reasons, also considering the possibility of burning in Hell. The unrequited lusts should then be followed to the end through masturbatory fantasy, encapsulating the sexual desires for children in the brain.

Most parents and other adults focus on the sinful nature of children. Children may well have sinful traits at times, as no human being is perfect. However, it is about time that we as adults focused on our own sins, not the sins of children. Children do engage in behavior that could be considered sinful, but we cut them a break because they are learning right from wrong, and they are learning preferably at their own pace. Adults are the actual sinners, and adults need to own up for their sinful nature. Then, that non-entitled attitude will be passed down from parent to child.

The parent 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!
