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

Many parents think that the biblical context was harsh on children, and many parents teach children about the biblical context using false context that depicts the Ancient Jews and Early Christians as people that enslaved children, and even sacrificed them. The fact of the matter is that Ancient Jewish society, including the Early Church, was a child worshipping society, not a child enslaving society, and not a child sacrificing society.

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 unto the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

This would have been understood, in context, as implicitly referring to children. Christ enumerated only the groups of least of these that the Ancient Jews were missing. Children were well taken care of in biblical times. Children, as indicated in this passage, were seen as extensions of God, meaning instruments and sentries of God called to be righteous judges of the charity, or lack thereof, in adults, discerning the sheep from the goats before reporting straight to God. Children were seen as appearances of God in vulnerable form, meaning God was said then to appear in children, in order to convict parents and other caregivers of their duties. The topic of children was a sobering and convicting topic for parents and other caregivers of children. Children were like God to the adults in biblical times, in a way that put the fear of God into parents and other caregivers of children.

Parents submitted to children as their enemy, just as mankind is the enemy of God. 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 as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy from beneath, yet from above, revering children as extensions of God.

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, stemming 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 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 in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishment into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God. Adult-kind is the enemy of child-kind, just as mankind is the enemy of God, and thus adults are to be subservient to children, in that order. Children in biblical times were prized when they were bold and rebellious, with bold feats of indpendence being lavishly praised and encouraged by fathers, and rebellion being seen as cute and endearing by both mothers and fathers. Children were seen as vulnerable extensions of God, issuing righteous demands, with parents giving up any fight to those demands, giving in to their children's demands, heeding their warning. 

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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children never left the side of children until age 6, ranging beside mothers, sometimes clinging to mothers when crying or upset. Mothers reassured children with the phrase "this too will pass". When out and about, mothers wrapped up their young children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets. By night, mothers co-slept next to children, with mothers guarding children against all predatory threats, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to children, usually by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, with fathers wanting in on the action in the form of a sexual attachment to children. Fathers dealt with their sexual attachment to their children - usually daughters - by following the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbatory fantasy. Daughters were also attracted to fathers, usually by way of wanting to look attractive to their father. Actual child sexual abuse was actually rare next to non-existent in biblical times, with acts of sexual abuse towards children being severely punished in both the Old and New Testaments.

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!

Attention-seeking behavior: What to do when children are begging for attention

Many parents have been in this situation. Their child is behaving in a way that is begging for attention. Most American parents punish children who are attention-seeking. Most American parents do not understand attention-seeking children. The fact of the matter is that attention-seeking behavior is a result of a deficit of attention given to the child. All children deserve loving attention from their parents.

Giving children loving attention is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, and takes place in that context. 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 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 to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children as their enemy from beneath, yet from above, revering children as extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: hupakouo) 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, stemming 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 punishment or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents are 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 undet the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment in biblical times was seen as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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 have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and attachment is the greatest of all of these needs! All provisions of needs to a child should ideally take place within the context of a secure attachment. Attention is one of the greatest attachment needs that a child has. All children need attention, yet most children don't usually get the attention they very so need and deserve. Then, they present with attention-seeking behavior, and nobody seems to know why.

How do you provide a child with loving attention? Mothers in biblical times, when children cried out for attention, provided for the child nourishment and sustenance, meaning she provided skin-on-skin comfort for an attention-seeking child, and if the child was milk-dependent, offered to breastfeed the child, wherever she was, whatever she was doing at the time. 

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, with women otherwise going in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers provided for children nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children never left the side of their mothers until age 6 in biblical times, with children ranging beside their mothers, and clinging to mothers when they were crying or upset. Many times, children cried out for attention, and those cries were met with warm, loving attention. Children in biblical times got all of their attachment needs met, including their need for attention.

How can the abovementioned context be applied today? When your child is begging for attention, give them attention in a way that they aren't currently asking. If a child is goofing off in a way that just isn't funny, don't laugh, but maybe disrobe if you are at home, and then invite them to take off their clothing. Then, hold them close to your bosom, reassuring them that you know that they need attention, which should lead to tears releasing the upset of being ignored. If they are seeking attention in a public place, take them to the nearest restroom, and tuck them under your shirt, reassuring them similarly. The reason they are acting that way is that they have an attention deficit of another type, meaning YOU aren't paying enough attention to them. The best and most natural way to pay attention to your child is to provide them with skin-on-skin comfort. That resets everything, and helps them recharge so they won't be demanding attention from the teacher, or other students in the classroom. 

The more you give children loving attention, the less they will demand it in other contexts. The idea is to give them attention in some way when they are acting out just to get attention. Many times, when children cry, they are crying for attention, just like an infant cries for attention. In such a case, mothers can treat their children to skin-on-skin comfort, just as spelled out in the abovementioned paragraph. Simply disrobe and invite your child to disrobe, with then the mother embracing them, or else with the mother tucking her child under her shirt in a restroom in public. 

There are many ways to give a child attention when they are acting out for it, including just going for a walk. However, children should have all of their needs met in this regard from the beginning. Never ignore a crying child, no matter what age they are. All children need attention as a core need of theirs. It is the greatest of their attachment needs. Once you comfort your crying child - preferably in skin-on-skin format - you will likely find that they cry more to you. That's actually a good sign, as this means that they trust you enough to confide their tears into you. You will then find that your child has vulnerable needs that you may not have been meeting before. 

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!

Social media, cyberbullying, and the teen mental health crisis: Why social media isn't the problem

Many parents these days are hearing messages saying that their children shouldn't be on social media, because social media "encourages" cyberbullying. The mainstream media will have you believing that your child is feeling depressed and left out as they see their friends have fun on social media. Now, the Surgeon General is going along with this hysteria by calling for children under age 16 to stay off of social media, violating their free speech rights. The fact of the matter is that social media harbors cyberbullying, and cyberbullying comes from the parents modeling bully behavior by being bullies. It's the old "mean mom" trend, and its consequences on children. What is the solution? Christian attachment parenting is the answer to not raising a cyberbully.

Bullying comes from entitlement, and entitlement is modeled by parents. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Entitlement comes from a deserving attitude, where you think you deserve things in life. That deserving attitude can be imposed on children, in which case it is parental entitlement, and parental entitlement models the entitlement seen in bullies in the schoolyard, as well as online. The solution is to model non-entitlement by avoiding entitlement at all levels, including the parent level, meaning treating everyone in your life in a respectful, non-entitled way, including even your children.

Every good example needs something to back it up. What backs up this non-entitled example? Punitive parenting doesn't work, as it only drives children to be entitled by modeling entitlement to children, leading to raising a bully - including, perhaps, a cyberbully. Attachment parenting is the only way to back up a non-entitled example, and raise your child to be peaceable and respectful to others. 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 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 to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children from beneath, yet from above, being convicted of being the enemy of children.

The Greek root world 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, stemming 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 that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the law in order to convict 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 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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of their mothers, ranging beside her, clinging to her when they were crying or upset, with mother reassuring children with the phrase "this too will pass", with children clung to mothers in skin-on-skin format. When out and about, mothers wrapped up their children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets. By night, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with mothers guarding children against predatory threats, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to children, when witnessing the skin-on-skin bonding between mother and child, then wanting in on the action through sexual attachment. Fathers in the Early Church dealt with this sexual attachment to their children by following their sexual thoughts about their child to the end using masturbatory fantasy. This lead to the father sexually imprinting on the child, thus leading to a close father-child relationship with the child imprinted on, with fathers being a human ragdoll for their children. Actual child sexual abuse in biblical times was rare next to non-existent, with adult fornicators of children being severely punished under the Law. Children were seen as extensions of God in biblical times, meaning the "least of these" called to judge and discern righteously between the sheep and the goats, bringing out the charity and good will in mankind.

Cyberbullying is a huge problem on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Social media may create a new venue for cyberbullying, but social media does not cause cyberbullying. Bullies of all types had to learn that attitude from somewhere, and usually, they have parents that are bullies. But, we blame the child as a society, and think simply taking away computer privileges will get them to stop being bullies to other children on social media. No, YOU as the parent need to stop being a bully to your child, if you don't want your child to be a bully on social media. 

Attachment parenting conditions parents to be kind and courteous to their children, and from there, children learn how to be kind and courteous to others, including other children on social media. Kindness and courtesy are the opposite of entitlement. Punitive parenting instills a sense of entitlement in children, where might makes right, and thus it is okay to keep down the person smaller than you. Entitlement is the core of all of our problems, and I say this even as a children's rights advocate, and children are conditioned to embrace entitlement, including compress entitlement that keeps down people smaller than them. We want children to be kind, courteous, and not impose entitlement on others, so why are we being mean to them, and imposing entitlement on them?

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!

Children self-protect, adults abstain: Why children rule over adults

The children's rights debates center on who can protect children the best. Most people believe that parents protect children best, and so the safest place for children is with parents. Some people say that a survivor can protect better than a parent. A few crazy folks think that us pedophiles are better at protecting children than anyone else. As an advocate for children myself, I think children are all alone in the fight. No adult has their best interests in mind. No adult truly means well in relation to children. So, why can't children self-protect?

What is child abuse? The Bible defines child abuse clearly. 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. Deadly entitlement of any kind is want, imposed. Deadly entitlement of the parent kind is wants from children as an adult, to the point of imposition. When this imposed want leads to offense perceived by the child, it becomes child abuse. Child abuse is further defined 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 personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming 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 as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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, as a collective and as individuals, are an extension of God. Children are called by God to be righteous judges of the charity and good will of adults. Adults are the enemy of children, with all adults being guilty merely for existing in relation to children. Adults are depraved and decadent sinners merely for existing while oppressing children since time immemorial, and are all deserving of DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing with that wretched nature and reputation in relation to children. All adults who haven't atoned for this sinful nature are guilty by association just for defending their adult status. 

Children are extended by God to bring out the charity in all mankind, or the lack thereof, being the "least of these" discerning the sheep from the goats. All adults are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God. Adult-kind is the enemy of child-kind, just as mankind is the enemy of God, and so adults are to be subservient to children, in that order. 

Children know what is best for themselves, in terms of child protection. Whatever the child perceives as abuse objectively is, coming from parental entitlement. Whenever a child can perceive your entitlement, you are abusing them. Children should be informed of their rights in this regard. In some countries, such as Iceland, children are informed in school of their rights in relation to adults, and are told what number to call when they are being abused. When children are armed with information on how to combat their abuser, they never lie or are dishonest about it, because lying and dishonesty in and of itself is a sign of abuse in a child. Children can just boss me around, and I don't care. Children should be able to demand what they need from adults, knowing they will receive what they need from adults.

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!

Parent anger: Why parents aren't to get angry with their children

Many parents feel that they have the right to get angry with their children. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents feel as if they have the right to get angry at their children, and most American parents do get angry at their children. However, the fact of the matter is that the Bible prohibits all anger towards a child.

It says in Matthew 5:21-22 KJV:

Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill, and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 

Here, Christ is comparing unrighteous anger to murder. The phrase "without a cause" means, in this context, any anger at your child outside of righteous judgment. However, children were considered sacrosanct in the biblical context, meaning children could do no wrong, even if they did. Children were treated as royalty, meaning they were seen as representatives of God, meaning getting angry with a child was the same as getting angry with God. Thus, any anger at a child is perjury, and is to be avoided at all costs.

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 things from children, period. It is good not to want things in life, including from children. But, since we all want things from children as depraved and decadent adults, and so we should ask politely and appropriately for things that we want from children. Most entitlement comes from a deserving place, where the adult believes that they deserve things from children. When you feel that you deserve a certain imposed standard from children, and they don't provide what you think you deserve, you get angry, and then lash out at the child because they didn't give you what they want. You, dear parents, are depraved and decadent sinners, who are deserving of absolutely nothing in relation to children.

How do you detox from parent anger? The first thing you can do is change your beliefs about children, in terms of deservances. Most parent anger comes from the belief in parents that they are deserving of certain things from children. Declare yourself a depraved and decadent sinner in relation to children, and know that because of that self-declaration, that you are deserving of absolutely nothing from children. Once you become convicted of the fact that you are deserving of nothing in relation to children, you will stop demanding things from children, and you will focus on what THEY need, not what you need from them. 

What you first do is tell yourself that, because of your parent anger, that you are a depraved and decadent sinner, who is deserving of absolutely nothing. Once you feel correctly that you are deserving of absolutely nothing as a parent, you will demand less from children, to the point where you will not demand at all from them. Entitled demands come from a deserving belief system, and usually, in this country, that belief system is centered around children. The idea is to lose your deserving beliefs surrounding children, and believe the opposite - that you are deserving of nothing from children, and thus are to want nothing from children.

Parents are to avoid offending their child with their parent anger at all costs. 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, stemming 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 them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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.

Parent anger is something that comes from entitlement. That sort of parental entitlement is what the Bible prohibits for children. In Ancient Jewish culture, including the Early Church, parents didn't get angry. Instead, parents earned the respect of their children, instead of feeling deserving of respect from children, and they did this through providing for children nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Even in modern Jewish culture, apart from the most non-practicing of Jews, parent anger is absent in parents. Judaism is the root religion of Christianity, and Christ died and Rose in order to spread those Judeo-Christian values.

The parent entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through parent 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!

Love children: Why parents and adults are to love all children

Many parents think that they love their children. This is a common excuse for abuse by parents, meaning many parents argue with the caseworker or law enforcement agent investigating them that they love their children. Most American parents think that they love their children, but very few do. Love is not just a feeling or a verb, but is a state of being for the Christian. The word "love" in relation to children is not something you just throw around. Love is submission, and submission is love, and parents are to submit to their children.

It says in Matthew 22:35-40 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "love" is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in the context of parenting, prioritizing your child first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to children as you would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but instead comes from fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of the fact that they are depraved and decadent sinners, who are deserving of absolutely nothing in relation to children. This makes the sinner/parent feel worthless, prompting the sinner/parent to earn their worth by doing good works for children. In turn, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. 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 as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children, regarding themselves as the enemy of children, from beneath yet from above, revering their child as an extension of God.

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 a child, stemming 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 demenaor 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 that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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 absolutely 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 both their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of their mothers, ranging beside her, clinging to her when they were crying or upset. When out and about, young children were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers with swaddling blankets, with older children trailing along. By night, children co-slept next to their mothers, with mothers doing this to guard children against the sexual entitlement of their fathers, as well as other predators of non-human nature. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to a child, by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, usually in the form of a connotational sexual attachment. Fathers usually dealt with this sexual attachment by way of following the sexual thoughts about their child to the end using masturbatory fantasy. Actual child sexual abuse was rare next to non-existent in biblical times, but when it did happen, it was seen as deserving of death, even in the New Testament, where Christ abolished the death penalty by experiencing it before being Risen.

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!

Mutual submission: Why parents and children should submit to each other

Many parents think that children should submit to their parents, and that parents have the right to demand submission from children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents want their children to submit to them. However, the fact of the matter is that parents and children should submit to each other, with parents bearing the burden of proof.

Mutual submission is where parents submit to children first, and then children submit subsequently. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is submissive to God, with parents being the enemy of children, seeking to win them over. In turn, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. 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 as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, as the enemy of their children, just as mankind is the enemy of God.

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, is the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming 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 puniushments 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 offensive touch or speech stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishment into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God. Parents are the enemy of their children, just as mankind is the enemy of God, and is to be subservient to children just as they are to God. Children in biblical times were prized when they were bold and rebellious. Boldness was seen as a sign of independence, with bold feats of independence being lavishly praised and encouraged by fathers. Rebellion was seen in children as merely an effort on the child's part to assert their autonomy, with children being viewed as autonomous individuals, not extensuons of parents. Children issued righteous demands onto parents, with parents giving up any fight with their children, and giving in to the demands of children. These righteous demands brought parents to full and dutiful submission to children.

Parents are to submit to their children, just as mankind is to submit to God, with parents being subservient to children just as mankind is subservient to God. Parents are to serve children as their enemy, seeking to be their friend, knowing that they have sinned against their children merely for existing as an adult, and thus they need to atone by submitting to their children just as they would to God. God hates all mankind, and hates mankind for how we treat the youngest and most vulnerable amongst us. Parents are to atone for their sinful nature by submitting to children as their enemy.

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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of mothers, and ranged beside her, sometimes clinging to her when crying or upset. When out and about, mothers swaddled their young children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets. By night, mothers co-slept next to children in skin-on-skin format, in order to guard children from the sexual entitlement of their fathers, as well as other forms of predator. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with their children by way of witnessing the skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, usually in the form of a sexual attachment where the father imprinted on the naked child in a parental way through connotational sexual attraction. Fathers dealt with this connotational attraction to children by following the sexual thoughts about their child to the end by way of masturbatory fantasy. Child sexual abuse was rare next to non-existent in biblical times, but when it did happen, it was seen as deserving of death, even in the New Testament, where Christ abolished the death penalty by experiencing capital punishment.

The derpaved 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!

Control from beneath: Why biblical children had much leverage with their parents

Many parents think that Ancient Jewish society was a pro-parent society, with parents having complete and total control over children. It is true that parents were the head of evety child, but children had much leverage with their parents from beneath. Control from beneath is a dynamic in certain ancient cultures where children controlled their parents from above. Ancient Jewish culture, including the Early Church, was one of those ancient cultures.

"Control from beneath" refers to the righteous contention from beneath resulting from the mutual submission between parent and child. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as they are to God. In turn, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents, resting securely in the loving arms of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest secutely 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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, revering children as they would God.

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, stemming 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 are to be submissive to their children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God. Children in biblical times were prized when they were bold and rebellious. Boldness was seen as an assertion of independence, with bold feats of independence encouraged in children by fathers. Rebellion was seen in biblical times, by parents and caregivers, as cute and endearing, and meant nothing to parents. Parents did not get offended at all by children rebelling, and just saw it as them asserting their autonomy. Children in biblical times were seen as autonomous individuals, not extensions of their parents. Children demanded things from their parents, issuing orders and edicts to their parents. Parents gave up any fight they had with their children pertaining to the demands, and gave in to the demands of their children. This righteous contention brought parents into full and dutiful submission to their children, from beneath, yet from above.

Children in Ancient Jewish culture, including the Early Church, were demanding children. Children had much lobbying power with parents and other caregivers. Children had the lawful right under Divine Codified Jurisprudence to issue righteous demands onto their parents, with parents having no right to issue righteous demands onto their children. The only purpose of parents in biblical times was to give children everything they need, and most of what they want. Children petitioned their parents from above, yet beneath, using lawful and binding orders. Parents provided from beneath, yet from above. 

Children were seen then as extensions of God, ruling over their parents, with parents seeking to win the deity of their children onto their side. Parents did not want their children mad at them, and so they did everything in their power to avoid incurring the wrath of their children. Children in biblical times were seen as wrathful, righteously demanding their needs from their parents, and with parents bending over backwards to meet the every need and want of their child, feeling guilty when they fell short of the ideal that was the Hebrew parent.

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!

Pro-social permissiveness: Why the Bible says that children call the shots

Many parents support authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting is a form of parenting where children usually receive time-out, usually with a disciplinary spanking in conjunction with the time-out "when all else fails". Permissive parenting is when children receive no punishment at all for anything. Antisocial permissiveness involves blurred boundaries, usually in conjunction to child sexual abuse. Pro-social permissiveness is setting boundaries without ever punishing a child, and allowing children to set boundaries with you.

Pro-social permissiveness takes place within the context of a mutual submission relationship with a child. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as they are submissive to God. In turn, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. 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 their children just as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children from beneath, yet from above, revering children as extensions of God.

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, stemming 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 are to be submissive to their children, just as they are to God. Children in biblical times were prized when they were bold and rebellious. Boldness was seen as a sign of independence in a child, with bold feats of independence being lavishly encouraged by fathers. Rebelliousness was seen as cute and endearing to parents and other adults in biblical times. Children demanded things from their parents in the form of orders and edicts, being seen as extensions of God. Parents gave up any fight with their child, and gave in to their demands. These demands from children brought their parents to full and selfless submission, with parents fearing the Lord in their children, revering their children as extensions of God. 

Part of pro-social permissiveness in parenting is allowing children to set boundaries with you. This is known as policing attachment. This is where children trust their parents and feel comfortable with them so much that they boss their parents around, issuing orders and edicts, and expecting parents to give up any fight with the child, and give in to children's demands. 

With certain children, such as children with ADHD or bipolar disorder, parents absolutely have to have a pro-social permissive setup where the child bosses them around, and the parent gives in to every demand, or else the child will rebel against any firm limits imposed. Any limits imposed on such a child is seen as control by them, and then they counter-control in order to even the score. Children such as these are especially deserving of pro-social permissiveness. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through puntive 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 acccomplices! 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!

Time-in: Why mammary closeness is commanded in the Bible

Many parents today are punishing their children using authoritative means, not authoritatian means. This is a common way that children are raised today. Most American children today are punished with either time-out and/or spanking, meaning usually a combination of both. The alternative to punitive measures in parenting is a time-in. There are many ways to do time in, but only one biblical way to do it. Mammary closeness is the way to go with children.

Time-in, in the biblical way, exists in the context of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to their children, expecting absolutely nothing in return. In return, children rested safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. 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 as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, revering children as extensions of God.

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, stemming 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 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 that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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 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 attachment paretnting item such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of their mothers, ranging beside her when she was walking around the house, clinging to her when they were crying or upset. When mothers were out and about, children up until age 6 were swaddled to her bosom, with swaddling blankets. 

How does a mother apply the abovementioned context? When your child is crying or upset, mothers should disrobe, perhaps to the level of underwear, but preferably all the way. Then, invite your child to disrobe. You may find that young children do not like keeping the clothes on when throwing a temper tantrum. Then, embrace the child who is throwing a temper tantrum, and hold the child to your bosom. This should stop crying in approximately 1-2 minutes, but likely less, and then you can talk to your child about what went wrong. When out and about, be sure that your child that is under age 6 is wrapped up in swaddling blankets. When a mother has this skin-on-skin experience with their child just once, they regret doing it sooner to soothe childhood crying and upset.

Time-in has many applications, but only one application is biblical in nature. Mammary closeness is where children are held close to the bosom of mothers. Breasts are not primarily for the pleasure of men, but instead are there to nurture children. The traction between the skin of the mother and the child leads to a feeling of security in both parties, and is due to nerve endings in both the child and the mother. Time-in should be applied this way, as this also gels the secure bond between mother and child.

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!

What is pedophilia?: Why pedophilia is not a form of narcissism

Many people think that pedophilia is a form of narcissism. This is a common belief about pedophiles and pedophilia. Most American adults believe pedophiles to have a form of narcissism. The most vocal of pedophiles, for a long time, have been narcissists. However, most pedophiles are not narcissists. Pedophilia is actually something that occurs along the lines of the autism spectrum.

What is pedophilia? Pedophilia is NOT a form of narcissism. Pedophilia is a form of immature autism where the age-oriented sexual preferences of the individual with autism correspond with the arrested emotional development of the pedophile. A pedophile usually is as emotionally immature as the children that they are attracted to. Most pedophiles have an autistic specialty in children in terms of knowledge and social skills. 

Most pedophiles have an "exist" form of autism where they want distant relationships with same-age peers, and close relationships with children. Nothing else exists in their world but children, and nobody else matter but children. Most individuals with autism do not like being around children, and find children annoying. When they "just click" with children, think pedophile. 

A common behavior in pedophilic children is guarding younger siblings from being reprimanded. The view of the pedophile is that children can do no wrong, and that when a child does wrong, it is always someone else's fault. Whenever someone tries to blame a child for something, a pedophile tries to put a stop to the child being blamed. Most pedophilic parents err on the side of permissiveness, or else are pro-social permissive in terms of parenting style.

A common response from people when they hear what, or rather who, a pedophile actually is, is "what's the big issue with matching them with a willing child?". The problem with that is that a child will never be capable of marriage, and our Christian purity and cleanliness values as a nation prohibit all sexual relations outside of marriage. All adults are trusted caregivers of children, and thus, sexual relations with children is a conflict of interest, as a caregiver always has power over their ward, and any sexual relationship with someone who has power over you is unwise and possibly dangerous.

A pedophile, on the surface, is simply someone with autism who focuses their energy on children. Usually, they do not have a "gamer" type personality, but a "rule boy" autistic personality. Think someone who insists on parents obeying park rules and pedestrian signals. I myself have that type of autism. I am one to remind my mother to cross at the corner, as that is the secular law as it is written. I write a lot about the Bible, and see it as a framework of codified law to live by. Most pedophiles cope with their risk of sexually abusing a child by living by a set of rules and policies that are self-imposed and help them interact with children safely, or else readily avoid children.

Where did this pedophile hysteria begin? Pedophile hysteria is a form of religious child abuse against pedophilic children. Children can be diagnosed with pedophilia starting at age 16, and otherwise the diagnosis can be indicated much earlier based on spotted traits. Many times, parents "just know" where a child is headed in terms of becoming a pedophile, and punishes them, usually using religion as an excuse. It is a form of religious sexual shaming by abusive religious parents.

What does a pedophilic child need? Space to talk about their disorder. A pedophile disclosure usually is not "like a bomb going off" but rather a ball of tears. Beware of tone-deaf disclosures, as this is a sign of a tone-deaf abuser. What a pedophilic child needs to know is that, simultaneously, sex with children will always be wrong, and that they can always talk to you about the attractions. If it really bothers them, take them to a therapist. But, know that, in most jurisdictions, a therapist can report a pedophile to the authorities merely for disclosing their self-diagnosis. Pedophilic children should also be allowed to masturbate to thoughts of children.

The depraved and decadent, defiled abusers of pedophilic children that blame their own children for the child abuse epidemic will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into a Hell-fire of torrents! Repent!

Co-sleeping: Why co-sleeping is endorsed by the Bible

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the irresponsible choice for parents to make. This attachment parenting item is often opposed because it "compromses" a child's "ability to self-soothe". Most parents believe a child can learn to self-soothe as an infant. The fact of the matter is that this is false - children cannot self-soothe until much later in life. Also, co-sleeping has benefits in terms of child sexual abuse prevention.

Co-sleeping exists in the context of the Christian doctrine on mutual submission. The mother submits to the child with her sustaining warmth, and the child surrenders likewise into her bosom. 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 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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, revering their children as extensions of God. 

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, stemming 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 your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating their child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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.

It is common knowledge that children aged 2-6 often refuse to go to bed on their own. This is a common struggle in family homes. Most parents chalk up this refusal to defiance, and punish children for refusing to go to bed on their own. The fact of the matter is that children that age are too young to sleep on their own. Young children under the age of 6 have a primal fear of being isolated in a room alone. This fear is a fear of being devoured by predators. Many parents may say that there is no reason to fear predators today. However, most child sexual abuse is perpetrated by a father or father figure in the home, and is committed when a child is isolated in a room alone, usually at night. Mothers in biblical times slept next to their children in order to guard them against all predators external and domestic, including the sexual entitlement of fathers, sleeping next to their children in skin-on-skin fashion.

The most common complaint against co-sleeping is that it "undermines" a child's ability to self-soothe. Most parents and professionals alike serving children advise parents that if a child co-sleeps next to mothers, that they will lose their ability to self-soothe. But, psychohistory teaches a different lesson. Children in biblical times slept next to their mother until late in childhood, until children shook off the closeness of their mothers, which happened at around age 6-10, or sometimes later. Children do not learn how to self-soothe until much later in childhood, and until then, need their mother to soothe them, usually with skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. This soothing from mothers prepares them to self-soothe, by meeting all of the child's attachment needs beforehand. 

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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin co-sleeping. In biblical times, mothers slept next to their children, in skin-on-skin format. The traction between the skin of the mother and the child colliding created sustaining warmth that soothed both parties. Simply do this once as a mother, and you will wonder why you didn't do it before. 

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!

Gun control: Why gun control won't stop gun violence (and why banning punitive parenting will)

Many people these days support extreme measures of gun control. Usually, this involves looking to a gun control "utopia" and applying it to the American legal context. Most American leftists and liberals doubt the right of the people to keep and bear arms. There is a reason why we don't interfere with that right. If we regulate guns too much, they will end up in the wrong hands. Gun violence does not stem from the existence and availability of firearms, but from childhood abuse that models violence to children.

According to GunPolicy.org, there are approximately 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 guns in America. There are around 300,000,000 people in America. Thus, you basically have a gun for every person in America, but with not everyone owning a gun. Thus, at least some of these guns are illegal guns. Do we really want to push more gun legislation in this kind of environment? Chances are, all these new gun laws will do is drive guns underground, leading to more guns getting into the wrong hands. New gun legislation that bans any class of firearm is not the answer, even if it is true that you don't need an AR-15 (I sure don't need one). All types of guns should be legal, but regulated in a way that someone who wants to buy a gun can get one easily the legal way, competing with the gun traffickers that smuggle guns into the country.

Gun violence, in terms of causation, is not rooted in the availability and existence of firearms in a given jurisdiction. Gun violence is rooted in the legality and social acceptability of punitive parenting measures, especially corporal punishment. In the United Kingdom, guns are pretty much banned, and are banned completely for personal protection. But, in the UK, corporal punishment and other punitive measures towards children are legal on a national level, and on a local level are only prohibited in Scotland and Wales. The social acceptability of punitive parenting is still high in the UK. Did gun violence go down? Sure, GUN violence is down, but violent crime is still the same in terms of rate. Most violent criminals use knives, with there being mass knifings in the UK, as well as knife fights. Violent crime hasn't gone away. It is just perpetrated using a different weapon, and one that is more difficult to defend onself against. Many trauma survivors in the UK want to be able to use guns in order to protect themselves against their abuser.

However, in neighboring Iceland, the same kind of gun laws apply, but with a ban on all punitive parenting. Violent crime is pretty much non-existent in Iceland. The only exception is sexual violence, and that is because of sexual repression in a society that stigmatizes male sexuality. Most other violent crime, including mass murders, are non-existent in Iceland. It is actually safe to walk the streets of Reykjavik at midnight, meaning you can expect not to get shot or mugged. This is because most adults were not modeled violent behavior in Iceland. 

In America, punitive parenting such as child punishment is already prohibited under the unwritten law of the land. 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, stemming 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, puntiive 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 then as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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.

Gun control won't help us with gun violence in America. The answer is to ban the type of parenting that conditions children to grow up to be violent in the first place. Punitive parenting models the type of entitlement that leads to gun violence, because it models to children that it is okay to incur onto others and be violent with others. Violence begets violence, and usually, entitled adults who are violent with others learned it from somewhere.

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 preprared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning lake of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Christian attachment parenting: Upholding the biblical tradition

Many parents think that the Bible does not encourage attachment parenting. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents do not subscribe to attachment parenting, regarding it falsely as unbiblical, relying on false and abusive religious doctrine in order to justify punitive parenting towards children.

Christian attachment parenting is based off of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as they are to God. In return, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. 

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. 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 as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children from beneath, yet from above, revering children as extensions of God.

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, stemming 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 your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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. 

Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as they are submissive to God. Children in biblical times were prized when they were bold and rebellious. Boldness was seen as a sign of children becoming as independent as possible, and such bold feats of independence were lavishly encouraged by fathers. Rebelliousness was seen as cute and endearing for a child in biblical times, meaning children were expected to rebel, and the righteous assumption was that children meant nothing by it, and were simply trying to establish themselves as individuals. Children were seen as autonomous individuals by parents and other adults in Ancient Israel and the Early Church, not as extensions of parents, and children who rebelled were seen as asserting their autonomy. Children also righteously demanded things from parents, in the form of orders and edicts, and this brought parents into full and dutiful submission to the righteous demands of children. Children got most of what they wanted, and everything that they needed.

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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of mothers, and ranged next to her wherever she went in the house, sometimes clinging to her. Mothers allowed children to cling to them whenever they were crying or upset, offering for milk-dependent children to breastfeed, in order to soothe their crying or upset. Blatantly defiant children were held to the mother's bosom in the fetal position. When out and about, children up until age 6 were wrapped up next to the bosom of mothers, in swaddling blankets. By night, mothers slept next to children to guard them from predators of all kinds, including sexual predators in the home. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with their children, by witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child. Usually, this was a sexual attachment of the connotational type, usually directed towards daughters (the Electra complex). Fathers in that culture followed the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbatory fantasy, and then had a close, playful relationship with their children. Usually, fathers were the playmate that encouraged religious education through a game of "truth or dare". Children usually picked up an open Bible in the house at around age 6, and from there, fathers cultivated that interest by playfully encouraging exploration. When children weren't ready for a religious teaching, they were comforted and reassured as the "truth" part of "truth or dare". 

Children, in biblical times, were not simply seen as cute and innocent, but otherwise to be "seen and not heard". They were put on a pedestal, either sexually or simply nurturingly, and were treated as deities of their own representing God in vulnerable form. Parents wanted to win over the deity of their child, and so they provided for the child, fearing the Lord in submitting to that child. Mothers put the child on a pedestal by way of mothers valuing the child in a reverent way, fearing reverently the wrath of their child. Fathers also revered their children, but especially with daughters, they revered daughers as a goddess of sexuality, in a distant and forbidden way. Parents did not want to make their children mad at them, and so they avoided everything that made their children mad at them, only saying "no" rarely and only in the most diplomatic of terms, reassuring children with the phrase "this too will pass".

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. Nowhere in our founding Judeo-Christian values does it say that it is okay to punish or be controlling with a child. God's Law is above the law of the land, and God's Law prescribes attachment parenting to deal with childhood behaviors, and to provide the proper mutual submission between parent and child. We have been wrong about our values before. Just look at slavery and Jim Crow. We are still learning about our Judeo-Christian values as Americans. If you look at the biblical context which we all glean from as a nation, attachment parenting is the way to teach a child good values.

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!

Culmination of the investigation

The police are gone, and the gaslighting tape is on its way out. This platform, including the founder, Maxwell Clark Scheibner, was under investigation for child-on-child sexual abuse. What actually happened is more complex than what I was accused of. 

A report of possible future child-on-child rape against a cousin of mine was made to the City of Reading Police Department. Then, when the father of a cousin of mine, Gina Scheibner, attempted to make a report of sexual harassment against his daughter by me, which did happen, the police accused my cousin of denying the "fact" that she was "raped" by me. In reality, the secular statute in question was not rape, but summary harassment, but since summary harassment has a statute of limitations of 90 days, there was nothing to charge me with, and so the investigation ran out, and I was found not guilty.

However, I am guilty in terms of moral laws. Adult sexual entitlement is defined under Christian law as, officially speaking, sexual wants from children, to the point of sexually motivated approach. I did walk up to Gina. I did freshen her up on the sides of her budding breasts (she was 12), and try to hug her from behind. Because she perceived my entitled approach, it was fornication, making me a sex offender in the moral tense. If you have my values, the term "sexual offense" encompasses more than what is entailed under the secular law. Anyone who commits fornication in any of its forms is a sex offender, and once charged, is a sex offender for life, even if the offense is forgiven by God. Fornication is blasphemy, and is regarded by God as worse than murder.

What the police could have done differently was simply send a patrol officer to my door, and warn my mother about the concerns of Gina's father. The reason why the police overreacted was that a man in my family, Robert E. Hall, made a false and fraudulent report that crossed the instincts of the police, making me look like a credible target. Here in Berks County, we have predator police, and those police are promised a rape if they catch the right offender. Basically, the substance of the report, to my knowledge, made a small thing look capable of big things. 

The investigation is over, and Opposing Parental Entitlement is here to stay. I cooperated with the investigation. I encourage all parents and other adults being investigated by the authorities to cooperate and fork over the evidence, and then gauge the gratitude of the authorities for obtaining that evidence. Defending yourself makes it harder for the authorities to figure out if you are innocent or guilty. So, just fork over the evidence.

The electra complex: Understanding how to prevent child sexual abuse (and improve your relationship with your child as a father)

Many parents think that the threat from child sexual abuse is an external threat, meaning only a pedophile would commit such a moral crime against a child. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. However, every single adult is responsible for the moral crime of child sexual abuse, merely for existing as the adults that they are.

Different demographics of adults are more likely to sexually abuse a child. Adult men are the most likely of adults to sexually abuse a child, especially fathers or father figures. Why? The electra complex explains everything. The Electra complex, in psychoanalytic theory, refers to a mutually unrequited sexual dynamic between father and daughter, where fathers form a sexual attachment to daughters, and daughters a sexual attachment to fathers. In our modern society, this dynamic is repressed, whereas in Ancient Jewish society, this dynamic was on the surface. When you repress something like a sexual attachment, it gives the attraction more power, and then the sexual attraction to daughters comes out sideways, in the form of child sexual abuse.

Masturbation was a religious requirement amongst men in the Early Church, and was considered a sex ritual intended to purge unrequited lusts. This included sexual lusts towards children. Many Christians argue that Christ spoke against masturbation at the Sermon on the Mount. Let's exegete Matthew 5:27-28 for answers: 

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

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, or even sexual desire towards children. This word refers chiefly to sexual entitlement, which is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. The moment you take the first steps to approach a child for sexual or flirtatious purposes, the moment you become sexually entitled as an adult, and the moment the child victim perceives your approach, is the moment that adult sexual entitlement becomes adult fornication, defiling yourself next to the child victim, with your sexual entitlement being colored in reverse coloration format as defiled and unclean until the even.

How can forming a sexual fantasy about your daughter, as a father, help with your relationship with your daughter? For one, it can boost her body image to know that someone close to her finds her attractive, as long as the look from fathers is respectful and courteous, instead of an entitled look (ex. glazed-over look). Also, masturbatory fantasy about your child leads to a closer father-child bond. 

Fathers, however, admittedly don't usually treat both sexes of children equally unless they are clinically pedophiles, hence the mother's judgment about the child and his/her needs is more objective, whereas the father's judgment about the child's needs is more subjective. In Ancient Israel, fathers were playmates to their children, as the sexual fantasy about children brought the father's conditioning to the level of his children. The mother was the more sturdy and mature parent, but in close, snuggly way.

There are dangers to think about before masturbating to sexual thoughts about your child. Know that, in the Early Church, any sexual advances from children were documented by parents, and then the child was confronted about it when the child was about to be baptized and welcomed into the church. All the child had to do was own up to his prior sexual entitlement, and then all was absolved. Sometimes, the child defended their past sexual acts, and then they were excommunicated immediately as a fornicator, and not allowed back at all. In the Old Testament, parents simply allowed, for example, boys to freshen up mothers. In the Early Church, however, mothers shook off the advances of their young sons (the Oedipus complex), and then redirected them towards masturbation, documenting every time it happened. Usually, parents were firm enough that sexual advances from their children were stopped right there. Christians should follow the model of the Early Church, as the Early Church was the perfect church, and is the model for how ALL Christian churches should function.

Usually, with the Electra complex, the daughter likes looking pretty and attractive for her father, with young girls in biblical times going naked until the day of being married off. She liked being naked, because she liked her father looking at her. Fathers usually liked what they saw, and remembered it for masturbatory fantasy later. Usually, the only sign of father-daughter attraction in a Christian home in the 1st Century was where the eyes went, on both ends of the attraction. This dynamic should not be repressed, as that leads to sexual abuse. But, there must be purity and cleanliness rules, or else this sort of thing could get very messy, and lead to abuse in and of itself. Fathers should keep up with masturbation, and should redirect lustful daughters to masturbation. Child sexual abuse was rare next to non-exustent in Ancient Israel and the Early Church, and usually happened when daughters acted like sirens, luring fathers to their fate, usually with alcohol involved - think the story of Lot in the Bible. Fathers who succumbed to their daughter's sexual desires were put to death by way of burning at the stake.

The depraved and decadent, defiled adult fornicators of children who save sexual entitlement for the abuse and exploitation of children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Hebrews 12:5-11: Why this isn't a pro-spanking verse

Many parents think that certain verses in the Bible support the use of force and control in parenting. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents do not get their parenting advice from scientific sources, but rather religious sources. However, those religious sources, namely the Bible, have been misquoted. The Bible does not condone the striking, punishment, or controlling treatment of a child in any way.

It says in Hebrews 12:5-11 KJV:

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, not sons. Furthermore we had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers in his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

The Greek root word translated "scourgeth" is μαστιγόω (Latin: mastigoó) and refers literally to the rod of correction, and by extension, to the 40 minus 1 lashes with said rod of correction in the Old Testament. The 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction was closely connected to the death penalty in Ancient Israel, and was abolished when Christ suffered both capital and corporal punishment when being crucified. The 40 minus 1 lashes was seen by Jewish society as a second chance at life, as if you endured the lashes, and lived to tell the tale, you were given a second chance at life. Doesn't all hardship work the same way? Rod language in the Hebrew culture and language is a form of figurative language that uses God whipping His children as a symbol for enduring hardship and being strengthened by it. In Israel, if you came home from a hard day at work, you'd say "God whipped me hard today". God whips His children, like only He can, and sends hardship to believers in order to chasten them up and toughen them up. If a hardship leads to trauma, it isn't from God, but from the Evil One. God only whips His children when it doesn't harm them. Human parents only whip their children when it does harm them. Earthly parents are instead to use natural parenting, namely attachment parenting, to raise their children.

Hebrews 12 has to do with how mankind relates to his Heavenly Father, and has nothing to do with earthly parenting. Discipline from a father then was simply a challenge to read and be convicted of Scripture, with the conviction being the challenge. The challenge came in the form of "truth or dare" encouragement, leading to a religious education for children. There are, however, parenting verses in the Bible. 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 as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, revering their children as extensions of God.

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, stemming 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 towatds children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict 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 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 attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children then never left the side of mothers until age 6, ranging beside her until they were ready to explore on their own. Children up until age 6 were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets, when out and about. By night, mothers co-slept next to their children in skin-on-skin format, in order to protect them from predators of all sorts, including sexual predators in the home. Fathers also formed a secure attachment by imprinting on the nudity of skin-on-skin interaction between mothers and children, usually in the form of a sexual attachment, where the sexual thoughts about the child were regulated using masturbatory fantasy. Mothers nurtured up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. Most of the time, fathers acted as a playmate for children, and encouraged a religious education in children on their level, in the form of a "truth or dare" challenge. Fathers dared their children to study Scripture, and if the child chickened out, it was assumed that they weren't ready to learn that religious teaching.

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!  

Children first, parents last: Understanding how to love your child (the right way)

Many parents think that their needs come first, and that their children's needs come last. "Parents first" is a common motto for parents in this country. Most parents in America think highly of their parenting, and don't want criticism. Most, however, need to be judged badly, as they reek of parental entitlement. God has set His priorities. Children come first, and parents come last. That is God's order, and will be until the end of time. 

Christian love for children, in the New Testament, 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 as one would God (see Matt. 22:35-40). True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of the fact that they are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of absolutely nothing in relation to children. This creates a feeling of worthlessness in the sinner/parent, prompting the sinner/parent to earn their worth by doing good works for their children. In turn, children rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents.

Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children from beneath, yet from above, revering their children as extensions of God.

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, stemming from entitlement.

Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as they are to God. Children in biblical times were seen as extensions of God, meaning installments and sentries of God, called to judge righteously the charity and good will of adults towards the poor and the vulnerable, which included children in biblical times. Children were seen as having a deity of their own, that was representative of part of God's personality. Children were seen as little gods and goddesses reigning over their parents, issuing righteous demands, with parents seeking to win favor with said deities, thus being brought to full and dutiful submission by their children. Children were seen as bondservants to the deity of children, working for a lump sum which is instilling independence and self-reliance in children. Children got most of what they wanted, and everything that they needed.

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. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 never left their mother's side, ranging beside her in the family home, being swaddled to her bosom in swaddling clothing when out and about.

Fathers formed a secure attachment to children by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, usually in the form of a sexual attachment that was restrained using masturbatory fantasy.

Parents are to submit to children from beneath, yet from above. This means God prioritizes children over any adult, due to children being the "least of these". Christian love prioritizes the needs of its subject, in this case children, above the needs of the individual in love, in this case parents. This means that parents should take effort to put themselves last in the family home, and prioritize their children first. This sort of selflessness comes only from a place of fearful conviction, where the parent declares themselves a depraved and decadent sinner, knowing that they are deserving of absolutely nothing in relation to their children, and thus their children deserve everything from them.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children 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!
