Oppositional-Defiant Disorder (ODD): Why children with ODD need less limits (not more)

Some parents have a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). ODD is a disorder usually secondary to another disorder, usually autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or any mixture of these diagnoses. Usually, ODD symptoms go away once the primary disorder is medicated, except when the primary disorder is autism, in which case the parent just has to live with the disorder in their child, and provide for them a secure attachment. It is a myth that children with ODD "need a hard hand". Children with ODD actually need less limits, and more attachment.

ODD is best served by parents in the context of parents applying the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is submissive to God, with parents regarding themselves as the enemy of such. 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 safely and securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 also was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor perceived by 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 and 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 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 when 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 providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Some children, in biblical times, were known as "stand-beside-me" children, and these were children that rejected the closeness of mothers from early on, and thus mothers just insisted that these children stand beside them. Children could hit, kick, or bite mothers, and as long as they stood by the side of mothers at all times, they were good. If they left the side of mothers, mothers knew, and then grabbed the children by the arm, placing the child right by their side once more. This was the harshest mothers were with oppositional children. Children, while by their mother's side, could be themselves, swear at parents, pick up objects and hurl them at mothers, and mothers didn't care. Mothers never tried to control them, and only picked them up when they were milk-hungry, and then put them down right away. Usually, these children were aggressive with mothers, and hit, kicked, and bit their mothers to express vulnerable needs, and mothers simply cried every time it happened, eventually teaching children to cry instead of be aggressive when they need something. When children were clearly and blatantly defiant, mothers picked them up and curled on the ground next to them in the fetal position.

It is a myth that children with ODD need more limits. Children with ODD or traits of ODD have a strong counterwill, meaning if you try to control them, they will try to control you back. The key to dealing with ODD is reverse policing. Reverse policing is treating the child as you would the police, meaning you give up the fight that you have with your child, and give in to the demands of your child. Most children, when you give in to their demands, stop demanding. With children with ODD, it is an endless stream of demands. But, trying to clamp down on demanding behavior will only backfire, as they will continue to hound you, and escalate their rampage, until you give up the fight. 

Most of the time, ODD is treatable by medication, so it is just a matter of finding the right medication. But, finding the right medication can take years. I myself almost fit the diagnostic criteria for ODD as a child, and lithium carbonate - alongside other medications - cured the disorder. It, however, took many years of trial and error for my developmental pediatrician to find the right medication. Some cases of ODD are medication resistant, usually those associated with autism and not a co-morbid mood or impulse-control disorder. When the problem is ADHD or bipolar disorder, medication usually works, but even then, sometimes the strain of ADHD or bipolar disorder is medication resistant. In the mean time, reverse policing strategies work, meaning your child will have to police you as to their needs, instead of you policing 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!

What is a criminal?: How to solve America's crime crisis with attachment parenting

Many parents think that punishing a child will keep them from becoming a criminal. Most American parents take up the attitude that punishment will keep children from becoming criminals. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. However, the fact of the matter is that most parents do not know what a criminal is, or else they wouldn't be punishing their children.

What is a criminal? A criminal is a person who is dependent on punishment in order to function in society. It is a cognitive impairment of sorts where the person did not internalize the morals of society. They grew a little too used to their parents punishing them, and thus today can't think for themselves in terms of morality. All Americans, by default, are capable of committing a crime under the right/wrong conditions, especially if they had a pro-spanking upbringing. That doesn't mean everyone will. Most crimes are situational offenses.

How does a parent make the effort not to raise a criminal? The key is to model the avoidance of entitlement to children. 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. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is the slightest of unattainable want. Most entitlement comes from a deserving attitude, where the individual believes that they deserve things in life. The key to avoiding entitlement is to get an attitude adjustment, meaning declaring oneself a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, thus is grateful for absolutely everything. Children are watching your every move. If you show entitlement around or towards them - including showing parental entitlement - they will learn to be entitled in order to get their way, creating an entitled child. 

A non-entitled, disciplined example will keep your child away from the streets and away from crime. However, a good example needs to be backed up by something. Punitive parenting only alienates children, and drives them away from the Truth, creating strife and resentment in the home. Attachment parenting is the only way to back up a good Christian example. Christian attachment parenting can be understood using the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. 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, jusr as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 also 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.

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 when 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 their mothers, ranging beside mothers when at home, clinging to her when crying or upset. When crying or upset, mothers held children close to their bosom in skin-on-skin mammary closeness. When out and about, mothers wrapped up their children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets, maybe offering for the child to suckle her teat if the child was milk-hungry. By night, mothers co-slept next to children in skin-on-skin format, order to form a secure attachment, and also to protect children from all predatory threats, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with children by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, with the father wanting in on the action by way of a sexual attachment to the child. Fathers imprinted on their children by way of masturbatory orgasm, with the pro-social fantasy leading to a stronger bond between father and child, especially with daughters.

Solving America's crime crisis starts at home. Children need a non-entitled, disciplined example that imparts Judeo-Christian values. Children will then absorb those values coming from that example, and will internalize the morals they are taught by their parents. The problem with punitive parenting is that all the child learns is to avoid punishment, when the child is in a punitive parenting environment. When a child sees a parent's Christian example in an attachment parenting environment, they absorb the values of their parents on their own, at their own pace, usually with the parents having to instruct children little, with instruction usually in the form of redirection. When a child is raised with that kind of discipline, they don't commit crimes, because they know in their heart of hearts that committing crimes is wrong, even if there is a zero percent chance of them getting caught. 

Most criminals operate on the false confidence that they won't get caught, meaning a criminal is someone who depends on punishment, or the threat thereof, in order not to commit crimes. Many criminals commit crimes just to go back to prison. Why is this? Prison provides the same kind of structure that they had growing up, meaning they grew dependent on the structure their parents imposed on them, instead of finding their own structure like in an attachment parenting home. A child in an attachment parenting home, when all grown up, does not need to be policed, because they police themselves and control their own actions.

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 in to the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend in to 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 other adults are to love all children

Many parents think that they love their children. This is a common attitude amongst parents towards children. However, do you really love your child? Most parents in America actually don't love their children. Instead, most American parents hate their children. These parents throw the word "love" around like it means nothing, when the word means something very deep in the soul of the parent.

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 with 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 children first, and yourself as a parent last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to children as you would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but instead fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of being depraved and decadent sinners, who are deserving of absolutely nothing. This creates a sense of worthlessness in the sinner/parent, that prompts the sinner/parent to perform good works for children.

This love and submission leads to safe and secure rest in parents, which is the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. 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 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 as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable 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 was 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 as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treatung them as a quartered slave.

Children, up until age 6, never left the side of their mothers, ranging beside mothers when at home, clinging to her when they were crying or upset. When children cried or were upset, mothers held children close in skin-on-skin mammary closeness, reassuring 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, with older children being tucked under the mother's dress when they were crying or upset. By night, mothers slept next to children in order to form a secure attachment with the child, and also to protect children from all predatory threats, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to their children, by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, wanting in on that closeness by way of sexual attachment to the child. Fathers inprinted on their children through masturbatory orgasm. This imprinting led to fathers having a close relationship with daughters especially, usually a playful and silly type of relationship. The mother was the more serious one, but in a warm and attached way.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Time-in: Why mammary closeness is the biblical way to do time-in

Many parents think that time-out is the way to go as an alternative to spanking. Other parents use time-out in conjunction with a disciplinary spanking. These days, most parents do not spank children, but they do use some form of isolation as punishment. This is not recommended parenting today. The Bible recommends time-in. There are many ways to do time-in. The best way is the biblical way in terms of time-in procedures.

Time-in is part of the context of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God, with parents being the enemy of such. In return, children are to rest 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.

This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitivr parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, aftern punishing their children one last time.

When mothers were out and about, young children were wrapped up next to her bosom in swaddling blankets, with older children being tucked under her dress. Crying or upset children were then reassured with the words "this too will pass"...This context is applicable today just as it was in th days of old, albeit with some tweaking. 

How can the abovementioned context be replicated today? When a child starts to cry at home, mothers should disrobe, perhaps to the level of underwear, but preferably all the way. Then, embrace your child, placing the child on your bosom for skin-on-skin comfort. If the child is milk-dependent, offer them to breastfeed. When out and about, take the child to the ladies' room, and tuck the child underneath your shirt. Do this procedure just once as a mother, and you will wonder why you didn't do it before with your child. Mammary closeness, especially of the skin-on-skin type, forms a secure attachment with children. Simply reassure children with such closeness, and they will grow to show affection and respect for you come adulthood.

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 lake of fire and burning sulfur, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Callous and unemotional traits (CU): Why the fetal position cures callous and unemotional traits in children

Few parents have to deal with this scenario, but it is a haunting and convicting scenario for the parent. A child is diagnosed with a form of conduct disorder known as callous and unemotional traits (CU). Callous and unemotional traits come from abusive parenting that is repressive in nature, and is the full emotional complex of a child in full repressed mode. Psychohistory concerning the biblical context shows, however, that parents can clean up the mess they made. 

The solution for CU is the fetal position, lies within the context of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God, regarding themselves as the enemy of such. In return, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. The fetal position is a form of mutual submission in and of itself, where the child rests 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 in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents.

This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when outside the home, otherwise going in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. CU was a rare complex in biblical times, but was more common in the Early Church, especially amongst Greek and Roman Christians who were still learning the Christian way of parenting, which was attachment parenting. Ancient Greco-Roman society was a psychopathic society, and that psychopathy was evident in Greek and Roman children. Mothers were instructed to use the fetal position to bring out the repressed emotion in both children and the parent. 

The fetal position happens when mothers invite a child to co-sleep with them, then curl up with them in that fetal position. CU consists of the full emotional complex of a child being repressed, usually with that emotional complex being repressed ADHD or bipolar disorder. Usually, in these cases, the emotions of a child are repressed by 8 or 9, and this is because of parents using force in parenting. The fetal position, especially in skin-on-skin format, brings out these emotions in what is called a cry of cries, meaning a cry that acknowledges trauma. You as a parent probably will cry like that, that first time curling up with your child. It is best to do this when they are younger. You will know if your child has this complex by your developmental pediatrician or child psychiatrist saying "congratulations, you have just raised a psychopath!". Psychopathy is the adult form of this complex, where an adult has a repressed emotional complex. A psychopath was deprived of closeness as a child, and so showing your CU child closeness while they are still children breaks the cycle, and brings out their emotions. They probably will only trust you as a parent. Any closeness will help with such a child. If we all as a society turned the other cheek and showed closeness and warmth to CU children, they would heal from their childhood trauma a lot quicker.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Original sin: Why all adults were born in sin

The doctrine of original sin is one of the most misunderstood and misused of Christian doctrine. Yet, original sin is the backbone of Christianity. Without original sin, there would be no need for a Christ. Most American parents believe in the doctrine of original sin for children. However, parents and other adults should be focusing on their own sins.

It says in Romans 3:9-18 KJV:

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

This passage was written to Roman Christians in the 1st Century. The Roman Christians were becoming prideful and boastful in their practice of Christianity. Paul here was convicting the Roman Christians of their original sin, comparing the practice of Christianity amongst the Romans to the behavior of the Roman pagans, listing everything the two groups had in common. Today, this passage serves as a testament to how God feels about humanity. God hates all mankind, to the point where He wants us not to exist within His midst. By default, all mankind is marked for deletion. Only a few of us - the elect - will be saved. The rest of mankind will be cast into everlasting punishment, suffering the second death which is the fire of Hell. We as adults are especially guilty merely for existing in relation to child-kind, while having a history of incurring on child-kind. 

Parental entitlement is the lowest level of our sin nature. The Greek root word denoting entitlement, including parental entitlement, and cross-references the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement is 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, it is good to ask politely and appropriately for what we want from them, and accept when they can't or won't give us what we want from them. Entitlement of any kind usually comes from a deserving place, where the individual feels that they deserve things in life. You, as a parent/adult, are deserving of absolutely nothing in life, including from your child. As soon as you become convicted of the fact that you are deserve absolutely nothing from your child, the moment you will cease to be angry with your child. An entitled parent thinks that they are deserving of everything from their child, respect and all. Anything coming from your child is something you need to earn.

What washes away sin more than anything? Alas, it is Christian love! Christian love is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in the context of parenting, prioritizing children first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to children, expecting absolutely nothing in return. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of the fact that they are a depraved and decadent sinner in relation to children. This leads to a sense of worthlessness in the sinner/parent, prompting the sinner/parent to earn their worth by doing good works for their children. In return, children are to rest safely and securely in the love and submission of parents. This is the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. 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 safely and securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 also understood in 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 them as a quartered slave. Paul here is 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.

Attachment parenting is the biblically endorsed way to bring up a child. Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when 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 were not considered "bad" in biblical times, but rather sacrosanct. Children were like royalty, meaning they could do no wrong, even if they did do things considered wrong. The doctrine of original sin was for adults to be convicted of. Behaviors such as crying and defiance were not seen as signs of a sinful nature, but instead as ways the child communicated vulnerable needs to adults. Parents and caregivers simply provided children those needs. 

It is good for an adult to focus on their own sins, instead of pointing out the sins of children while sinning against them nonetheless. All of mankind is born in sin, not just children. Adults also bear the sin of Adam, and thus adults need to accept conviction of that sin nature, including in relation to children, especially in relation to children. We as adults have wronged and abused children since time immemorial. No adult truly means well in relation to children.

I myself am a depraved and decadent sinner, and am deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. I have wronged and abused children in the past, by way of following them around and flirting with them for sexually entitled reasons. I am grateful for the forgivness of my child victims to the degree that they have forgiven me, as I deserve none of it...All adults should atone like this for their existence.

The parent 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! 

Attention-seeking behavior: Why attention is a core need for ALL children

Many parents deal with it. A child simply wants their attention. Most American parents make the same mistake concerning attention-seeking behaviors. Most parents in this country punish children when they cry out for attention, or else forcefully reprimand them, especially when out and about in public. The fact of the matter is that children have a core need for your attention, and if they don't get it the right way, they will get it the wrong way.

Giving children loving attention is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to their children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God, being the enemy of such. 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 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 as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable 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 was 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 quarted 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 often cry, and do so for various reasons. Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and the greatest of these needs is attachment! There are multiple attachment needs that a child may have, and the greatest of all attachment needs is attention. All children need loving attention, and when they don't have enough attention, they cry in order to get the attention that they need. If that doesn't work, they act out. Never ignore a crying child, for any reason. Always attend to a crying child, even if that child is crying out loud just for attention.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when 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 who cried out for loving attention got loving attention, with mothers scooping up children and holding them to their bosom in skin-on-skin mammary closeness. A crying child was never ignored or scolded for crying, as crying in children was seen in that culture as communication as to vulnerable needs.

Many parents and other adults say "Oh, he/she just wants attention" and use that to write off a child. Of course a child wants attention, and that is because that child NEEDS attention. So, when a child cries or acts out to get your attention, give them your attention. Children start out by crying for attention, and if you give them your loving attention, they will cry more for it. This increase in crying is a sign that your child respects you enough to be honest with you about their emotions. Children always cry for a reason, and the most common reason that they cry is attention, so make sure your child has plenty of attention to grow into an independent, self-reliant adult - he/she will need that attention in order to mature faster. 

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! 

Teen mental health crisis: Why social media isn't to blame

Many parents are concerned about their child's mental health. In recent weeks and months, social media giants such as Instagram and TikTok were under fire because their content allegedly caused "suicidal ideation", "body image issues", and other issues that otherwise would be linked to cyberbullying. Now, lawmakers are proposing a minimum age of 16 to have a social media account, which is an egregious violation of children's free speech and expression. The fact of the matter is that cyberbullying is the problem, and bullying of any kind in children comes from parent who are bullies. It is a sense of entitlement passed down from generation to generation.

Cyberbullying, like all bullying, comes from entitlement. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, and cross-references the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. When this entitlement is directed towards children, we call it parental entitlement. Entitlement comes from a deserving attitude, where individuals feel that they deserve things in life. Parental entitlement is when this deserving attitude is imposed on children, leading to children feeling that they have the right to deserve things in life. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The entitlement the school principal may see in cyberbullies is the entitlement of their parents. Don't blame social media. Blame entitled parents for normalizing entitlement for their children.

What is the solution? Punitive parenting is an entitled way of parenting that insists on children being under the control of their parents at all times, thus normalizing controlling and entitled attitudes in children. Attachment parenting is the way of the ancients, and is the only way to bring up a child into a respectful, disciplined young adult. Attachment parenting is actually the most time-honored and time-tested way of bringing up a child. Attachment parenting, in the Bible, is based off of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. 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 resr securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 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 punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Christian attachment parenting is a specific form of attachment parenting where the parent draws from the attachment parenting context of the Early Church. Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they were adults. Women only wore clothing when 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 closeness. Children, up until age 6, never left the side of mothers, ranging beside mothers when at home, sometimes clinging to her when crying or upset. When children were crying or upset, mothers held children to their bosom in skin-on-skin mammary closeness, reassuring children with the words "this too shall pass". When out and about, mothers wrapped up children close to thier bosom using swaddling blankets. By night, mothers co-slept next to their children in order to form a secure attachment with them, and also to protect them from predators of all kinds, including the sexual entitlement of their fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with their children by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mother and child, and wanting in on the action by way of a sexual attachment to the child, imprinting on the child using masturbatory orgasm. This pro-social fantasy by a father about a child made for a close relationship between father and child, usually in a playful and silly type of way, where the father reels down to the level of the child. Fathers in biblical times were kind and encouraging, sometimes being encouraging to a fault. Mothers were the calm party in all of that that calmly and gently offered warmth, and saw the children with better clarity. 

Now, a bill is being proposed in the Senate to raise the age of accessing social media to age 16. This is all based on a correlation that many in the media and the general public are drawing, presumably in order to distance themselves from the moral crimes they are actively committing against their children that model bully behavior when online. There are literally parents today seeking revenge from their children, and then we wonder where these cyberbullies come from? Restricting children's access to social media any more than it is, is a violation of a child's right to freedom of speech and expression, which are fundamental civil rights for all Americans, with children being the most marginalized and oppressed among American minorities. 

It is proven scientific fact that when children have a secure attachment to their parents, they have better attachments to other people. When you sever the tie between parent and child through punishment or violence, you sever their ability to make meaningful friendships. This doesn't mean necessarily that their friendships are non-existent. It just means that their friendships are adversarial, in a way that is allegorical to their attachment to their parents. 

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!

Individual responsibility for adult attraction to children: Why ALL adults are to blame for the sexual abuse epidemic

Many parents and other adults believe that pedophiles are to blame for all cases of child sexual abuse. This is a common belief and attitude amongst American adults. Most American adults blame pedophiles for the child sexual abuse epidemic. The fact of the matter is that ALL adults are capable of sexually abusing a child, under the right/wrong conditions.

What causes child sexual abuse? Most adults assume that attraction to children alone causes child sexual abuse. The fact of the matter is that a specific type of child crush is to blame for child sexual abuse, meaning a child crush not attended to by masturbation. Child sexual abuse, in most instances, is caused by a repressed sexual desire towards children, usually secondary in nature, that is repressed so low in the adult psyche that it comes out and lands on the child. This is how most adult sexual entitlement works.

Adult sexual entitlement is denoted by the Greek root word επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, or even sexual desire towards children, but here to adult sexual entitlement proper, as defined as, officially speaking, sexual want from children, to the point of sexually motivated approach. It is easier not to approach children for sexual or flirtatious gain if all of your sexual needs are met, including your sexual needs towards children. It is not good to approach a child for sexual or flirtatious gain, but it is good to have a pro-social fantasy or perhaps many throughout the day, in order to satiate your sexual desire for children.

Frequent masturbation to thoughts of children help center the sexual entitlement of adults, and encapsulates the desire towards children so that the adult attracted to children can move on from their sexual drive towards children, and face real life. Child crushes, for purposes of this article, are repressed crushes. What happens is that an adult, usually a father or father figure in a family home, finds a child attractive, and then tries to convince themselves that sexually assaulting or raping the child is the way to go. Their mind is clouded, and their mind is clouded because they haven't masturbated at all, or else haven't masturbated on that level of their sexuality. 

I myself am a sex offender, and in the past, sexually abused children. I was an obvious abuser, and the only reason people gave me a break was because I am visibly autistic. I masturbated less frequently because I was hoping for a real life date with a young girl. I was 16 when I met her, and she was 9 when I met her. I followed her around the pool deck, and flirted with her by waving. I did this with several other girls as well. I sexually assaulted a cousin by "freshening her up" in my grandparents' attic. I am a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children and the God that protects them. I had to learn the hard way that masturbation is my only outlet. Masturbation is an indulgence, but it sometimes takes an indulgence to retrain the brain to center sexual entitlement. I also had to associate the sexually entitled act of approaching children for sexual or flirtatious reasons with images of burning in Hell. Now, I don't have nearly the problems that I used to, but I still sometimes leer at young girls, and sexually offend them that way. I am still an (unregistered) sex offender here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I deserve everything coming to me, because I am a sinful wretch that deserves not to exist in relation to children. I am grateful for all the forgiveness I receive from my child victims, because I deserve none of it. I am deserving of nothing but hatred and rejection from children, as I am an wicked and depraved sinner who owes everything to children that I can give them to pay due penance for my sin guilt, and pay due penance in the form of good works and acts of service towards children. Sometimes, the best thing you can do to serve a child is leave them alone. Maxwell Clark Scheibner is not a nice guy...All adults should atone for their existence in the way I do, as the adult existence is a sinful one, in a depraved and decadent manner.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who sexually assault and rape children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into a Hell-fire of torrents! Repent!

How to teach children Judeo-Christian values - without spanking or punishment

Many parents want to teach children Judeo-Christian values. This is a common desire amongst parents, and is a valid and honorable one. The problem is that most American parents who want to pass down Judeo-Christian values use punishments such as time-out and disciplinary spanking to "back up" a Christian example. Attachment parenting is often associated with humanistic values, but attachment parenting can be used to pass down any values system, including our nation's founding Judeo-Christian values.

The avoidance of entitlement is the core of our Judeo-Christian values. 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. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is the slightest of unattainable want. It is good not to want things in life, but since we all want things as depraved and decadent human beings, it is good to ask politely and appropriately. When you want something that will lead to a temper tantrum upon a "no" answer, don't want it, and avoid that want at all costs. Most entitlement comes from a deserving place in our sin nature, where you feel that you are deserving of things in life. Know that you are a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing. This includes feeling entitled to things from your children. Children are watching your every move. Showing entitlement around or towards a child simply teaches them that it is okay to be entitled to get what they want. Do not show entitlement. Not even towards your own child.

Judeo-Christian non-entitlement is a good lesson to impart in example. However, every good example needs something to back it up. Punitive parenting simply leads to resentment, and drives children away from the Truth. Attachment parenting is the only way to impart good Judeo-Christian values onto children. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extension of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to 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 as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, fearing and revering children as vulnerable 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 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 punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. The way to teach these values is by imparting a good, non-entitled, and disciplined example to children. Then, if they have a secure attachment to you, they will follow in your footsteps, and want to be like you. You don't have to teach your children a darn thing if you have a secure attachment with them. All you have to do is have a shining example of Judeo-Christian values, being the salt and light of their world, and have a secure attachment with them to give them a safe place to absorb the Judeo-Christian values in their environment. 

Children won't become astute in the faith immediately, but in due time, they will absorb enough about Judeo-Christian values to have religious views of their own. It is recommended that you leave a Bible out for them to read, and once they start reading the Bible, lavishly praise and encourage their religious vocation. Children have the ability to form their own religious beliefs, seemingly out of nowhere. Usually, they contradict the beliefs of their parents at first, but then pan out to the beliefs of their parents by the time they are young adults. Be sure to set a good Judeo-Christian example to help children go the way they should go, and never alienate them with punishment or controlling demeanor. Declare yourself a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing. When they see you take up this attitude, they will find that Truth in their Bible. Find fault in YOURSELF, not your child, and then they will find fault in themselves, not others. 

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 husband 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, ranging beside mothers when at home, clinging to her when crying or upset. Mothers held crying or upset children close to her bosom, in mammary closeness, while reassuring them "this too will pass". Mothers, when out and about, wrapped up their children in swaddling blankets, possibly offering children to suckle her teat if they were milk-hungry. By night, mothers co-slept next to their children, in order to form a secure attachment with them, and to protect them from predators, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with their children after witnessing skin-on-skin closeness between mothers and children, and wanting in by way of forming a sexual attachment to the child, and imprinting onto the child through masturbatory orgasm. This pro-social fantasy about the child on the part of fathers built a strong bond between father and child, where fathers served as playmate for the child, reeling themselves down to the level of the child. Fathers also encouraged children to engage in bold feats of independence, such as sleeping in their own bed or picking up a Bible to read.

There is no reason to sit down and instruct children in anything if you have a secure attachment with them. Children naturally grow towards the example of their parents, whatever that example is. Cultural norms are absorbed by children naturally by seeing parents engage in these norms and traditions. Children simply go through phases, and much childish behavior that most adults call "naughty" or "bad" actually is developmentally appropriate behavior. The idea is to let that behavior go, or else keep them safe if they are endangering themselves, and when they cry, reassure them, giving them skin-on-skin comfort if you are their mother. All children are built mentally the same way a baby is. When a baby cries, they are crying for something, and even if it is just attention, give it to them. ALL children are the same way.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children 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!

Gaslighting: Why gaslighting is a form of entitlement in and of itself

Many people do not understand how policing works today. Policing has gone hi-tech, particularly in the Northeastern states. This is an issue that isn't on my priority list, but one I do want to speak about. Most people who oppose the police on gaslighting are anti-police civil libertarians who don't like the idea of combing. I am not one of those people. I personally support combing for evidence as opposed to putting suspects on a rink.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement, including gaslighting entitlement, and cross-references the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to wanting to control another person though gaslighting means, to the point of imposition. The Bible mentions gaslighting entitlement specifically when speaking of gaslighting one's parents. See Leviticus 20:9 KJV:

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

"Curseth" here, in context, refers to a gaslighting curse. Adult children frequently administered gaslighting curses upon their parents, and God hated it all. God hates gaslighting so much that He protected parents from it specifically. God, however, hates all gaslighting. Even if you are guilty of a crime, God instead says to "love thy enemy", and true Love does not allow for gaslighting, at all. Due to this commandment, I do not want my abuser, the parent, to be gaslit, even if they show every sign of guilt. Comb their a**, assuming something is there, in which case, we don't care. 

I am a proponent of family values policing, also known as anti-entitlement policing, which presume innocence in abusers beyond a reasonable doubt. Believe me, if you are guilty in front of the family values police, they will find out, and they will catch you. I want my abuser to be presumed innocent, and even be rehabilitated if they show remorse instead of entitlement. But, if they show entitlement, I want the parent scum to hang from the highest tree - bloody! Just like they did it in the Old Testament! Maybe I don't want my abuser to hang literally, as I am against the death penalty, but I'll take all of the prison time the legal system affords and give it to my abuser, and a form of Christian help, because they are sick in the heart for wanting to hurt a child as a means of teaching. 

The way that family values policing works is that parents are "innocent until proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt". This means that the police doubt the guilt of parents, until they can doubt no more, and then the parents are arrested. The massive heap of evidence is then rammed through the court. Picture parents literally shaking in the courtroom, as the judge has already decided their fate. Maybe the entitled parents kill themselves. Good for them! Let them burn in Hell for all eternity!...But don't gaslight my abuser. THAT is going too far. I protect my abuser the best I can from gaslighting.

I practice family values policing as a private citizen, being a righteous judge, on a high plane above a sinful world predestined for destruction. Family values policing is one of those policing styles that even a civillian can pick up, and possibly use in order to assist the police. Just gather all of the evidence, and turn the suspect in with the evidence to the local police department. 

For Northern police, the effects of gaslighting have been disastrous. The main problem is that nobody wants to talk to the police anymore. They are afraid of being gaslit if they get too close to the police. The police here in Berks County, Pennsylvania literally have to do a battery of intrusive questions, and even encamp themselves at the doorstep of even witnesses, in order to get one morsel of evidence from the witnesses. Gaslighting was a mistake of this movement from the start, and now, trauma survivors are lobbying their local police to end predator policing.

We will end this segment with one question - what about the pedophiles? Why is it wrong to gaslight a pedophile? It is in fact a myth that gaslighting falsely incriminates pedophiles. But, most pedophiles have religious sexual trauma of the sexual shaming sort. Some parents gaslight their own children as a form of overhead control, and sometimes the child happens to be a pedophile. Most pedophiles are atheist or agnostic, and one can merely infer the reasons behind most pedophiles being anti-religious. The actual reason for the anti-religious streak in most pedophiles? They were abused, in the same way non-pedophilic children were commonly abused. Do we want to revictimize them, because that is what we are doing by gaslighting them? Or, do we want to keep them on their toes, and make them shake like a dog before the judge handing down the sentence.

Most pedophiles will be gaslit on the victim rack, not the abuser rack, and will not disclose their pedophilia to the police at all in the process (for understandable reasons). A great amount of pedophiles suffer from gaslighting trauma. Let that sink in...

Christian attachment parenting: Upholding the Christian tradition

Many parents in America support authoritative parenting as a means of nurturing and admonishing children. The most common application of authoritative parenting is time-out, possibly with a disciplinary spanking alongside the time-out. That was my upbringing, growing up with abusive liberal parents. I believe in a Christian tradition in this country, but believe that this Christian tradition should be taught using attachment parenting.

God cast a dominion over all of America, yet only a few will heed the warning. America is a Christian nation, founded on Judeo-Christian family values. Christian attachment parenting is forming a secure attachment with children for the purpose of passing down good Judeo-Christian values onto children. Attachment parenting is an ideal way to pass down Christian family values to children.

Christian attachment parenting is based on the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is submissive to God, rendering themselves as the enemy of such. 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 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 their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable 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 commnandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children too many times. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things 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 customs 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 them nourishment and and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. Children up until age 6 in biblical times never left the side of mothers, ranging beside them when at home, clinging to her in skin-on-skin format when crying or upset. Children who were crying or upset were given skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy, and were reassured "this too will pass". When out and about, young children were wrapped up next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets, perhaps offered to suckle her teat if they were milk-hungry. By night, mothers co-slept next to their children, in order to form a secure attachment with their children, and also to guard against any predators, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to their children by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy between mother and child, and wanting in by way of a sexual attachment to the child, where the father imprinted onto the child through masturbatory orgasm. This pro-social fantasy improved the relationship between father and child, with the father reeling themslves down to the child's level, being a playmate to the child like a human ragdoll.

America is a Christian nation, founded upon Judeo-Christian family values. Most American parents want to teach children Judeo-Christian values. This can be done using Christian attachment parenting, where good values are passed down by way of secure attachment, not fear of punishment. Most children learn by example, and as long as that example conveys Judeo-Christian values, and the child has a secure attachment to their parents, you don't need to teach your child a darn thing. Children are curious enough that they can learn good values by absorbing what is in their environment. The start is YOU declaring yourself a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing. Your child will see you do this, and if they have a secure attachment to you, will want to do the same thing.

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!

"Back talk": Why back talk is not a sin

All parents presumably have had to deal with it. A child who spoke against his/her parents, thus "talking back". Most parents think talking back is a sign of disrespect, and punish back talk in children. This is a common attittude towards children amongst American parents. The fact of the matter is that back talk is not a sin in the Bible. In fact, in biblical terms, back talk is a sign of respect.

The Fifth Commandment is repeated 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, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and gtace 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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. 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.

Parents in biblical times, but especially mothers, held providing custody of children. Parents in biblical times were caregivers, not lawgivers or lawmakers. Mothers in the Early Church, by way of church ordinance, were obligated to provide for children nourishment and sustenance. Parenting in biblical times was attachment-based, and based off of a secure attachment between mothers and children, and by extension, fathers and children to a certain degree. Mothers held children close to their bosom with swaddling blankets, or else snuggled children next to the bosom in skin-on-skin comfort, especially when children were crying out for the attention of their parents.

Children demanded what they wanted from mothers, and sometimes from fathers, and usually did so tearfully, by way of crying out loud for what they wanted. Children usually got what they wanted in biblical times, and got everything they needed. Demands from children were seen as righteous demands, not unrighteous demands, and brought parents to full and dutiful submission to children, striking reverent fear and terror into parents. Children called the shots in biblical times.

A little back talk, in biblical times, was seen as a sign of respect from children. It was a sign that children respected parents enough to be honest with them about their emotions. Children in biblical times were not "to be seen and not heard". Children were outspoken in their minor role, and knew their rights. Children ruled parents from beneath, appearing to them as if from above, striking reverent fear and terror into parents with their wrath, convicting parents of their earthly duties towards their children. 

Parents were enslaved to the demands of their children, with most demands coming in the form of crying. Children cried a lot, and every single time a child cried, a parent was there to respond to their tears. Sometimes, children simply lashed out because they really had vulnerable needs, and parents just handed them what they needed. Even if they simply were asking for attention, attention was treated as a core need of children, and they were given the attention that they needed.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anget 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!

Independence: Why independence is the true goal of biblical parenting

Many parents think that the goal of parenting is to get children to obey in the moment, and that such was the parenting of the ancients. Most American parents believe that the biblical context endorses obedience as a goal for children. However, the fact of the matter is that independence was the number one goal for parents in biblical times. That should be the case today.

Learning independence in biblical times involved the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God, with parents being the enemy of them/Him. 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 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 commmandment 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 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.

The main goal of parents in biblical times was not obedience or submission to parents, but independence from parents. This started with healthy dependence. Mothers provided for children nourishment and sustenance, namely attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. The core of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with even older children sleeping next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. The first sign of independence was when children insisted on sleeping in their own bed, which they did all on their own. From there, fathers lavishly praised and encouraged bold feats of independence. Children then reverently rebelled by insisting on doing things on their own, and that rebellion was, too, lavishly encouraged by fathers. 

Children usually want to be independent. But, they become independent faster when they have all of their needs met, including all of their attachment needs. Closeness with mothers prepares children for being as independent as possible, as something in our natural development as human beings requires closeness and intimacy with mothers as a prerequisite to becoming more independent and taking on the world. The more closeness and intimacy children receive from their mothers, the more independent they will be late in childhood, in adolescence, and in adulthood.

Children naturally are curious and want to become independent, usually when they are older. The first 6 years is where they need closeness and intimacy with mothers, in skin-on-skin format. When they are older, they will want to do things such as help out in the kitchen. Instead of shooing them away from hot stoves, teach them how to use the stove the right way. Same with the microwave. Same with the oven. Maybe teach them how to cook. Boys can cook as well, as the best of husbands in the Early Church cooked for their wives. Plus, some boys have the gift of celibacy, perhaps due to abnormal sexuality or even just personal preference, and so they can benefit from learning how to cook. From there, the child's curiosity should move onto other household chores, such as vaccuuming and cleaning countertops. Hand-over-hand instruction is acceptable in teaching children chores.

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!

Proverbs 13:24: Why this is not a pro-spanking verse

Many parents cite the verse as a means to support and defend their "right" to punish their child. Most parents these days do not spank children. But, most parents still punish children in some way, usually through time-out, and justify their punitive parenting habits using the Bible. The fact of the matter, however, is that Proverbs 13:24 is not a pro-spanking verse, nor does it even have to deal with parenting minor children.

It says in Proverbs 13:24 KJV:

He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

The Hebrew root word translated "rod" is שםח (Latin: shebet) and refers to the rod of correction, meaning a rod of legal correction. Basically, the rod of correction was a switch or tree branch used by a father to issue to his ADULT son the 40 minus 1 lashes, in a courtroom setting, after the errant young son was convicted of a capital offense. The 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction was meant as a final chance at life, after the offender was issued many warnings beforehand that their conduct was unlawful. Adult descendants were never whipped at home, and minor children were not seen as competent enough to stand trial, and thus minor children were never whipped at all.

Isn't this how all hardship works? The rod of correction, in biblical times, was a metaphor for enduring hardship, which was seen as the chastening of the Lord. In Israel, you would say "God really whipped me today" after a long day at work. God whips His children, like only He can. But, God only whips His children when it isn't harmful. Earthly parents only whip their children when it is harmful. Minor children, in biblical times, could not be whipped under the Law, as minor children were deemed sacrosanct under the Law - they could do no wrong, even if they technically committed acts that were considered wrong. Earthly parents, during the time of Solomon, and all other times in both the Old and New Testaments, used natural parenting, meaning attachment parenting, to raise their children, since human parents are fallible when placed in a position of power.

No verse in Proverbs has to do with raising minor children. Proverbs discusses parenting adult children, and ultimately advises fathers not to shield their adult sons from hardship, but to allow adult sons to experience hardship, knowing that experiencing hardship hardens up the complexion. There are actual passages in the Bible that deal with parenting, and those advocate attachment parenting when understood in 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 safely and 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 and fearing children as vulnerable 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 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 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 comfort. Children up until age 6 never left the side of mothers, ranging beside mothers when at home, clinging to her when they were crying or upset. Mothers held their childre next to their bosom when they were crying or upset, and reassured children with the words "this too will pass". When out and about, mothers wrapped up their young children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets, possibly offering the child to suckle her teat if the child was milk-hungry. Older children tagged along, and never left their mother's line of sight. By night, mothers co-slept next to their children in skin-on-skin format, in order to form a secure attachment to a child, and in order to guard children from all predatory threats, including the sexual entitlement of fathers. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to children by way of witnessing skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy between mother and child, wanting in on the action by way of sexual attachment to the child, imprinting on the child by way of masturbatory orgasm. The pro-social fantasy about the child - usually a daughter - usually led to a better, closer relationship between father and child, because the father felt more comfortable around his child. Daughters usually were sexually attracted to fathers as well, usually by wanting to look attractive in the eyes of their fathers. Actual child sexual abuse, in biblical times, was rare next to non-existent, with punishments for such conduct towards a child being severe in both the Old and New Testaments. The sexual abuse of children was considered a form of fornication, and such adult fornicators of children were excommunicated without chance of forgiveness from the parish they offended in the Early Church.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend into the abyss which is the ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior

Many parents have had to deal with it. A child crying in the store. A child crying in the restaurant. All children cry at some point in their childhoods. Most American parents think that crying past a certain age is somehow bad behavior. The fact of the matter is that crying in any child, regardless of age, is not bad behavior. All children cry for the same reason a baby cries - they want love!

Comforting a crying child is known as time-in, and there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Time-in is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission between parents and children. Parents are to be submissive to children, just as mankind is to be submissive to God, with parents being the enemy of them/Him. 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, 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 to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents.

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 children too many times. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child. 

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became 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 using attachment parenting items such as breastfeeding and skin-on-skin comfort. When children cried or were upset in biblical times, children clung to mothers, and mothers held children, in skin-to-skin format, next to their bosom, in mammary closeness. Mothers, when out and about, held their young children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets, maybe offering the child to suckle their teat if the child was milk-hungry. Older children who cried or became upset were scooped up underneath the mother's dress in skin-on-skin format. 

How does a mother apply the abovementioned context? When a child is crying or upset, and you are at home, simply disrobe, and invite the child to throw off the clothing. Then, embrace in skin-on-skin format, holding the child in mammary closeness to your bosom. When out and about with your child, take the children to the ladies' room, and fit the child that is crying or upset underneath your shirt, and maybe offer them to breastfeed if they are milk-hungry. 

Fathers can also help out. Fathers should not step in and scold children who are crying, as this was not done by fathers in the Bible. Fathers should kneel down to the level of children, and reassure crying or upset children with the phrase "this too will pass", maybe embracing the child if the child asks for a hug. Fathers were very distant from their children in biblical times, in a way that was intended to protect children from the sexual entitlement of fathers. Children were not allowed to be touched except as the child allowed, and fathers were only allowed around the child when the mother gave her blessing. Fathers were like playmates to children then when allowed around their children, with fathers reeling themselves down to the level of the child easily, being silly and playing innocent games with children. Mothers were always there to supervise, and were the primary caregivers of children. Men that were fully pedophiles did help out quite a bit more than most men, as they had a strong drive to nurture children, guided by their sex drive. Other men payed more attention to their wife than their children, and focused on protecting her. 

All children cry sometime during their childhood. Children cry for various reasons, including even just attention. When children cry for attention, give them some attention. That's all they are asking for. Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and and the greatest of these needs is attachment! The core of attachment needs is attention. Usually, children who cry just want to be held, cuddled, and loved. They don't need punishment in order to "behave".  

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!
