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. 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 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 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!
