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!
