National Spank-out Day: Why corporal punishment is immoral and a sin

Many parents do it, though fewer than in previous years. 37% of parents in the United States used corporal punishment to deal with their child's behaviors. Most adults favor corporal punishment, even if they don't do it themselves, and this abuse is connected to a normative form of punitive parenting. But, why is it a sin to physically punish your child? In fact, it is a sin to do so.

It says in Exodus 21:16 KJV:

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

This was expanded by the courts to include any servile treatment of children, and this was, in turn, interpreted by the religious authorities to include corporal punishment of any kind towards children. Punitive parents were given many warnings before the rest of the child victim's family turned the parents in to the religious authorities. When put before the Sanhedrin, they were interrogated by the panel of judges supervising the investigation into their physical punishment of their children. If the Sanhedrin came to a two-thirds majority, the parents were both issued 40 minus 1 lashes with the rod of correction, and were put on watch. In the case that the parents would punish the children once more, the parents were righteously kidnapped, and all who testified against them together hung them bloody with barbed wire. Executions of parents in the Old Testament were some of the more common instances were executions were applied.

This commandment is repeated more succinctly in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any corporal punishment or other 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 the Law 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 in his writings.

April 30 is National Spank-out Day. Corporal punishment, except for the most extreme cases, is a form of lawful child abuse. I myself am a survivor of law-abiding parents, and once and a while, I received a disciplinary spanking. A disciplinary spanking is a lawful form of corporal punishment consisting of 5-8 swats to a clothed bottom, after all other measures have failed to control the child. Lawful child abuse is when you are being controlled from a higher power, and that higher power is your parents. That is one level of lawful abuse. The other level is the adults the parents bring into your life, who back them up every step of the way. As a child, you have no freedom and no rights. Nobody believes you, because nobody believes that it is abuse. You just want the police to come to your house and read your parents the riot act - only the police only enforce existing laws, and no law exists that criminalizes your parents for abusing you. The problem is parents and their power and influence. If we took away the power and influence of parents, they wouldn't be able to do their dirty work.

Our country is headed in a new direction on this issue. Since the 2010s, corporal punishment of children has been on a steady decline, decreasing from 94% in the late 1990s to 37% in the early 2010s. We are entering into a new era where we can effectively pass laws to ban corporal punishment. Two states, Delaware and Hawaii, have particularly restrictive laws on corporal punishment. The most effective of bans on corporal punishment have been gradual, in line with public opinion. Thus, public opinion needs to change. I offer, on this platform, biblical evidence convincing parents to shed their parental entitlement. Parental entitlement is the root of all child abuse, and if all parents lacked entitlement towards their children, I would have less work to do convincing parents on what the Bible actually says about punishing children.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through physically punishing their children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the lake\ of fire and burning sulfur, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! 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!

Honor your parents: What it truly means to honor parents

Many parents want to be honored by their children. This is a common sentiment amongst American parents. Most American parents feel entitled to being honored, and thus demand respect from their children. Many parents enforce this respect with punishment. The fact of the matter is that the Fifth Commandment refers to something very specific.

It says in Exodus 20:12 KJV:

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

This commandment, in context, cross-references the parent protection laws. "Do not strike your parents" refers to deliberately and repeatedly beating parents. "Do not curse your parents" means do not impose a gaslighting curse on your parents, meaning do not impose airborne gaslighting on your parents, at all. "Stubborn and rebellious son" refers to committing crimes as a young adult, thus making your parents look bad. Most parents were not believed when they said that their own children were abusing them. Most people said "where did they learn that behavior", thus blaming the victim. This commandment only applies to adults living apart from their parents, hence the language "deliberate". Apart from this commandment, a parent's only protection is with the secular law.

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 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, with parent believers resting 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 slughtest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishment or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents 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 stemminug from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, waa anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Children, in the Early Church, had lawful authority over their parents, and were able to issue lawful orders to their parents. Parents usually had to comply with the orders of children, usually issued through crying or whining. Parents could only say "no" to children if something they ordered was completely immoral or unworkable. Parents were not allowed, under Christian law, to speak against their child, or anyone else's child for that matter, lest they perjur themselves. Children were seen as sacrosanct in biblical times, meaning the guiding belief of parenting was that children could do no wrong, even if they did do things that were considered morally wrong, technically legally. Children had a lot of rights in biblical times, and parents were bondservants to the rights of children.

The Fifth Commandment only applies directly in certain specific situations, meaning those that constitute clear and deliberate elder abuse, which is rare and only convicts adult children living away from parents. Other than that, the Fifth Commandment, for minor children in particular, appoints parents as God-ordained head of household, but in a charitable and generous way. Mothers in particular responded to the every cry and upset in their children, even simple cries for attention, usually with skin-on-skin reassurance. By night, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin fashion. Parents submitted to children from beneath yet from above, fearing their children in the Lord.

Parents were caregivers to children, not lawgivers or lawmakers. Parents in biblical times focused on a secure attachment, which every Christian parent in the 1st Century strived for with their children. Early Christian mothers bonded with their children by way of skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance, with mothers and children being naked in the family home, and with children being naked wherever they went. 

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!

Discipline and limit setting in Christian homes: How to set proper limits (without spanking or punishment)

Many parents think that children need to be disciplined in order to set limits. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most parents in America think discipline comes from discipline imposed on children, meaning punishment. The fact of the matter, however, is that true discipline is not imposed on children, but modeled to them for them to follow.

Teaching discipline to children occurs within the context of the Christian teaching of mutual submission. See Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

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 wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) 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 prohibting 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 treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to, in this context, modeling Christian discipline to children. The standard of Christian discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore grateful for absolutely everything, leading to a chastened up example for children to follow. In the 1st Century, Christian parents worked on centering their entitlement, and their children followed in their footsteps. When children started to emulate the disciplined example of parents, they were lavishly praised and encouraged to "keep going down the right path". Children were caught being good, and were rewarded with lavish praise and encouragement every time they acted in a disciplined way. Sometimes, children needed direct instructions from parents. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to direct parental instruction. Parents could not issue lawful orders to minor children, with children being the individuals with authority in parent-child  relationships. Instead, parents requested things from their children from the bottom of their heart, saying "please" and "thank you" in the process, hoping children would listen to them based on a secure attachment. All Christian parents in the 1st Century strived for a secure attachment with their children.

Children are not going to be disciplined right away, but they will at some point. Usually, in the Early Church, children under age 6 were not disciplined, and often cried. Tantrums were averted by the fact that children were swaddled next to, or in back of, mothers. Children were very immature before age 6. After age 6, children held their emotions together when playing outside, keeping their discipline when venturing away from home. But, when children came home from playing outside all day, they reverted to immature behavior around their mother, usually in the form of skin-on-skin co-sleeping. 

Child nudity was an important part of Christian attachment parenting in the Early Church. Mothers and children were naked in the family home, with children being naked wherever they went. This context can be applied today by mothers being naked with their children in the family home. This leads to stronger attachment with adults on the part of children, and more ease in mothers engaging in skin-on-skin bonding with children.

Keeping a secure attachment with your child makes them want to be like you, because they like you, and want to follow in your footsteps. This means YOU as a parent need to work on your discipline issues, and work to center your entitlement. Children are watching your every move. When children see you work on your entitlement issues, they work on their own entitlement issues. When you punish your child, you impose your entitlement onto your child, and then children learn to be entitled - like a vicious cycle. 

Setting limits with children rarely requires direct instruction. Most of the time, all children need to know the limits is a disciplined example from a parent, coupled with a secure attachment. In biblical times, parents did not directly instruct children much in what was expected. Instead, parents worked on their entitlement and did what was expected of them, and then children followed suit.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to wrath 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!

Righteous pampering: Why children need to be pampered

Many parents think that pampering children is a bad idea. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents do not want to pamper children. However, the Bible encourages parents to pamper their children. Children need to be pampered, at least every once and a while. But, why not all of the time?

Righteous pampering is part of the greater Christian doctrine of mutual submission in parenting. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering 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 them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishment of children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

In the Early Christian church communities, children were pampered by their parents. Also, parents wanted to be seen as pampering their children. Children in the Early Church got most of what they wanted, and all of what they needed. Mothers, from day one, held their babies all of the time, never putting down the baby, or at least keeping the baby within eyesight. 

Children, for the first 6 years of life, were in constant closeness to mothers, never leaving her side, with children being wrapped up next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets, perhaps letting the child suckle her teat if milk-hungry. Mothers and children were both naked when at home, with children naked wherever they went. Mothers cooed as their children cried, reassuring children that "this too will pass". Come nighttime, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin fashion, with both mother and child in the nude, laying in bed.

Christian attachment parenting is unique in its stress on child nudity and the nudity of the mother. When borh the mother and children are in the nude, mothers can more easily bond with their children in skin-on-skin format. This sort of living setup hastens the bonding process in terms of secure attachment. It is also the ultimate way to pamper your child.

The Ancient Jews wanted to be seen by those around them as pampering their children. In modern American society, parents are embarrassed when they are "too nice" to their children in public. In Ancient Jewish culture, including the Early Church, it was the opposite. A crying child was comforted immediately, even in public, and young children were wrapped up next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets. Some children were wrapped in swaddling blankets to the back of their mothers. Christian homes in the Bible were some of the warmest homes in the Roman Empire.

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!

Temper tantrums: Why temper tantrums are not bad behavior

Most parents have to deal with it. Most children engage in temper tantrums, to some degree. Most parents think that temper tantrums are deserving of punishment. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most parents punish temper tantrums, sometimes physically. The fact of the matter is that temper tantrums are good behavior, not bad behavior, and thus parents are to understand when their child is throwing a temper tantrum. Children cry and tantrum in order to communicate vulnerable needs to parents. 

Dealing with temper tantrums is part 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 roor 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 understood in his original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law 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 in his writings.

Whenever a child threw a temper tantrum in biblical times, mothers responded to the tears of their child, every time. No crying child ever went ignored. Children who cried and tantrummed were given skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance, with mothers cooing as they provided skin-on-skin reassurance. Mothers and children were naked in the family home, with children being naked wherever they went. Child nudity is a large part of Christian attachment parenting, with child nudity making it easier for Christian mothers in the 1st Century to bond with their children. Children under the age of 6 were in constant closeness with mothers, never leaving her side, being wrapped up in swaddling blankets next to the bosom of mothers when out and about. Child nudity in the home allows for parents to properly form a secure attachment to children.

How do you apply the abovementioned context? Allow children to run around the house naked, and play around the house while naked. Clothe them when they go out and about, but allow them to be naked while in the privacy of their own home. Mothers are recommended to go naked themselves. When children are throwing a temper tantrum, mothers are to hold the upset child to their bosom in skin-on-skin format. When out in public, find a public restroom, and tuck the upset child under your shirt. Children should be reassured with the words "this too will pass".

Temper tantrums are not bad behavior. They are a way that children communicate their need. Never ignore a crying a child. Even if they just need attention, give them the attention that they want and need. All children cry and throw tantrums for the same reason an infant cries - they need love! So, why not attend to the every cry and tantrum of a child with sustaining warmth.

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!

Homosexuality in children and adolescents: Why not to throw away a good child

Many parents today who have my Christian fundamentalist values still disparage of their homosexual children. Most parents who find out that their child has same-sex attractions throw away their children, meaning kick them out on the street, usually after trying to "pray away the gay" and "purge the gay". Nowhere in the Bible does it say that same-sex attractions are sin or wrong to identify by. Nowhere in the Bible is the word "gay" banned. Only acting on those desires is condemned.

There are positive mentions of homosexuality in the Bible, but only where you wouldn't expect. See Matthew 19:12 KJV:

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, that were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

This is an enumeration of different type of single celibacy in the Christian Church. Some people were born eunuchs, and we can fit homosexuals into this category, and most homosexuals fit into this caregory in biblical times. 

In the gay classifications, there is a category called celibate gay. Celibate gays remain in single celibacy in order to study Scripture. Some are capable of self-attraction, meaning they usually masturbate to fantasies of sex with themselves. 

Masturbation was a way of staying out of trouble in biblical times. The Greek root word denoting lust in biblical times is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement, which is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. Approaching another man for sexual or flirtatious purposes is the moral crime of homosexual entitlement. Once that approach is perceived by the other man (or the other woman) it is sodomy.

What should parents do when they find out their child is homosexual? First, maybe try to instill in them that they are not "gay" but rather same-sex attracted, but that they are free to masturbate however they wish. Allow them to talk to you about their same-sex attractions, and be a listening ear for them. Chances are, the attractions will be benign and not predatory. Predatory homosexuality only happens when sexual desires for the same sex are repressed. When the desires are on the surface, they are benign. But, God does not want them acted upon, and any good Christian parent should instill that man shall not lay down with man. That's not the way to go.

I do not have same-sex attractions, and instead am a heterosexual pedophile. I myself am called to be single and celibate, and that calling makes sense to me. I cannot have what I want either, and I have come to a point where I don't want what I want. I can survive. So can someone with same-sex attractions. Just masturbate to the point where you don't need another man or another woman, and then you can't have one. That masturbation habit should be instilled from early on.

The depraved and decadent, defiled men who defile themselves next to other men will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast into the everlasting lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!

Oppositional-defiant disorder: Why children with ODD need less limits (not more)

Many parents think that oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) is a manufactured disorder in children. This is a common myth about children with ODD. Most parents think that children with ODD need more limits, and then the disorder would go away instantly. Well, some children seem to have a mind of their own, and isn't that what we want? The acronym for how to deal with a child with ODD is righteous parent abuse. Some children are so strong-willed, that you need to take their abuse.

Righteous parent abuse is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, in the context of a child that is exceptionally defiant and oppositional. 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 disorder. 

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

Mothers in biblical times sometimes had "stand-beside-me" children. This category of child was a child that rejected the closeness of mothers from early on. And so, they walked beside parents. Usually, these children would be diagnosed today as having some sort of oppositional-defiant disorder. Children would hit, kick, and bite in order to get that they wanted and needed from their mothers, and mothers simply gave up any fight they had with their child, and gave in to the orders of their children. Children had lawful authority over their parents, and could issue lawful orders to parents. Usually, this came in the form of crying or whining. A child with ODD would bark orders at parents directly, and beat their parents if parents didn't obey, and parents knew they just had to put up with the abuse coming from their child. Children were seen in biblical times as vulnerable extensions of God, and parents were not to speak against their children. Children were held in high honor, and the highest honor went to stand-beside-me children.

Righteous parent abuse means that some children are abusers, but since you are their parent, you are still responsible to them. This means parents must take the abuse of their child with ODD. Usually, this means taking a good beating every now and then from your child, and maybe laughing about it later when the child isn't around. Know that you are a depraved and decadent sinner as a parent, and are deserving of absolutely nothing from your child.

ODD is a disorder secondary to another disorder, usually autism, ADHD, and/or bipolar disorder. Usually, relief of ODD symptoms comes from medication, but some cases are medication resistant. The central understanding of ODD is locus of control, meaning a child with ODD wants control over everyone and everything in their environment, and when they don't get control, they go off. The idea is to righteously cave to the control of your child with ODD. Once they have some control in their life, they will be better off, and you will be better able to form a secure attachment to them. The form of attachment that these children need is policing attachment, where they can bark orders whenever they need something. Reverse policing is where parents treat children like the police, meaning give up the fight with your child, and give in to their orders and demands. That's the only way to deal with such a child, at least until they can be stabilized with psychotropic medication.

I myself am being medicated for ODD that I had as a child. I just didn't want to be controlled by anyone, not even circumstances. So, when I felt like I was being controlled, I controlled back, and then I got into trouble. Lithium carbonate saved my life. I was hesitant to try it, but it worked, and I even felt better. But, I wish my parents weren't as controlling as they were. That way, I could have gotten along with them better.

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!

Reverse aging: Why this is a trait of a rapist (not a pedophile)

Most people are afraid of pedophiles, and there is one reason why. Reverse aging. Most people believe that pedophiles can reverse age a woman, and see a woman as a child. This is a common myth about pedophiles. The fact of the matter is that most pedophiles cannot reverse age. Reverse aging is more a trait of a rapist than a pedophile.

What is a pedophile? A pedophile is an individual with a primary or exclusive sexual preference towards children under age 14. A pedophile is a person with a form of immature autism where their age-oriented sexual preferences correspond with the immature developmental level associated with autism. Most pedophiles have an autistic specialty in children in terms of special interests and social skills, meaning their whole world revolves around children. Anyone with autism who can nurture a child naturally is a pedophile, as pedophilia is a male nurturing instinct turned into a sexual preference. 

I myself am a pedophile. I don't reverse age. I see women as people, not sexual objects for the taking. Women are more like my mother, meaning I project my mother onto every female I meet. I have a good relationship with my mother, meaning a secure attachment, so I presume innocence easily in women. Women are harmless to me, like a mother, and they usually see me as harmless.

If I want to sexualize a woman in my mind, I look for youthful-looking parts of her body, and other immature traits in her, and favor younger women over older women. I prefer, in the context of women, college-age women, or else pedophilic women who have hormonal delays in pubertal development. Even then, it is only connotational attraction. 

The nature of ALL of my attractions is connotational, meaning my eyes color the exposed skin of women and girls, and the more youthful looking the skin I see, the better. The more child-like the body, the better. Usually, women are just mother-like figures, and they treat me like their own child as well. In order to have sex with a woman, I'd have to get out my autopedophile, which I do have around, and see myself as the more vulnerable one in the interaction. My fantasies can go either way, even with children. Sexual parent. Child. I ideally prefer young girls who are much younger than me chronologically, but a little bit older than me developmentally/emotionally.

Reverse aging comes from a repressed sexual mindset, where a man could go for anyone, and find a way to rape any woman, and with older women, rapists imagine them younger. A pedophile is a parent, not a sexual narcissist, and so they instead want to nurture children through sex. I myself might want to nurture a child through sex, and so attachment parenting teaches me how to nurture children in more appropriate ways. A pedophile can be a rapist, but most pedophiles are not rapists. Many pedophiles were raped as children, or were abused in other ways. 

The myth of pedophile reverse aging assumes all pedophiles see children as underlings. Most pedophiles are egalitarian parents, meaning they see themselves as on the child's level. I myself see children as authority figures to submit to, meaning I am afraid to offend them or get them mad. When they do get mad at me, I am afraid. I sure don't want to dominate children in any way. I want them to dominate me, and order me around. I actually cannot bring myself to feel anger or even frustration about a child or their behavior.

The depraved and decadent, defiled rapists and sexual assailants will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Antisocial parents: Understanding the Anti-Parent mindset

Many parents think they are good parents. It seems that every parent thinks that they are a good parent, and that they mean well. Most parents, when called a bad parent, get defensive and demand respect for their way of parenting their children. Antisocial parents is the guiding principle of Anti-Parent, a division of the children's rights movement. That means ALL parents are antisocial, by nature, and can only be saved through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. No parent or other adult truly means well in relation to children.

Anti-Parent is the study of parents, and is a branch of the anti-entitlement system of profiling. It is way of gauging entitlement in parents. This gauge is based off of the presumption of innocence, beyond a reasonable doubt, with doubting suspicion. Anti-Parent procedure calls to doubt the guilt of a perceived parent, and keep doubting, until you can doubt no more, then prounounce guilt against the parent. As a survivor of law-abiding parents, I presume innocence in all parents around me, beyond a reasonable doubt, and keep doubting, until I can doubt no more, and then I convict the parent on the anti-entitlement charge of parental entitlement.

There are certain enumerated offenses that a parent can be judged for. It says in 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with one an no not to eat. 

The Greek root word translated "covetous" sums up everything quoted, and is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleontektés) and refers to, in this context, parental entitlement, as defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. At minimum, any demands towards the child are entitlement, as parents should be asking politely and from the bottom of their heart what they want from their children. Parents should be grateful for what they receive from children. But, in reality, child abuse encompasses all of the enumerated offenses contained herein.

All parents, meaning the cords attached to adults, are antisocial in nature, and are not to be identified by. I am not a parent. I simply have a parent attached to me. The moment I say "I am a parent" I appear entitled. I instead say "I am a pedophile" to confess guilt to prove innocence. Parents should instead confess their struggles as a parent, including any mental health diagnoses that denote their struggles, and not insist that they are good people just for being parents themselves. 

I am a pedophile, and I struggle as a pedophilic adult against adult sexual entitlement. I am a depraved and decadent adult deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing as the pedophilic adult that I am. I struggle against my self-diagnosis of pedophilia. The first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one, and so I say today, my name is Maxwell Clark Scheibner, and I am a pedophile. All of us as adults have something to struggle against in relation to children, and it is about time we all admit how flawed and depraved our existence in relation to children is as adults.

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

Righteous cave: Why parents should cave to their children's demands

Many parents think that children should "cave to my authority". Most parents think they have authority over their children to order them around. Most parents don't want to cave to the authority of their children. But, the fact of the matter is that children do have real authority over their parents, and parents are to cave to the lawful orders of children.

Righteous cave is the parent's role in the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. The analogous acronym for child authority is righteous ordering. 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 are to rest 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 understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including punishments and controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Righteous cave has a proper meaning in parenting - parents cave to their child's lawful orders. In biblical times, children were a lawful authority over parents, and issued lawful orders to parents as to what they needed. Children kept issuing orders until their parents caved. The modern application of this context is reverse policing, where children are revered and feared in the way the police are, and then parents give up the fight with their child, and give in to the orders of children. This is how children broke down their parents in biblical times. Usually, siblings broke down parents and ordered for their needs in unison, so that parents surely could not argue with their needs.

In biblical times, crying and whining were interpreted by parents as lawful orders demanding vulnerable needs. The every cry and whine of children was law, and unless you had good reason, refusing the law of your child was seen as a provocation of anger against the child. When a child cried or whined, mothers cooed and held the child in their arms, in skin-on-skin format. Both mothers and children were naked in the family home then, with children going naked everywhere they went until adulthood. Christian attachment parenting is big on child nudity, meaning parents are encouraged to allow their children to go completely naked in the home, as this strengthens the secure attachment between parent and child. It is easier to cave to your child's demands when you are naked with your child at home. Mothers in the Early Church knew this intuitively.

Parents in biblical times could easily be manipulated by children, as they could only say "no" when the child ordered something immoral or unworkable. Parents gave up the fight with their children, and gave in to their orders and demands. Even speaking against children was a violation of Christian law in the Early Church, and would have been seen as a provocation to anger. No matter how exhausted parents were, they had to speak good of their children. If they needed to vent, it would show implicitly in their praise of their children. Children were always to be praised, and never punished, and were to be obeyed always, being revered and feared as vulnerable extensions of God. Children were put in the role of customer, with parents being in the role that waitstaff are in a restaurant.

The child's role in this context of parenting is righteous ordering. Think like ordering from a restaurant. You can order whatever you want from a waitress, as long as it is on the menu. Parenting, from a biblical perspective, is as servile as being waitstaff at a restaurant. Parents should always appear friendly and amicable towards their children, putting on a smile, waiting on their children hand and foot. Sometimes, you have to serve children in ways that make you uncomfortable, and that is righteous cave. 

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!

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

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the irresponsible choice for a parent to make in terms of bedtime arrangements. Most parents do not like the concept of a child sleeping in their own bed. Most parents, and also many pediatricians, cite that "children need to learn how to self-soothe". The fact of the matter is that not only is that children can't soothe themselves until puberty, but that co-sleeping can help prevent child sexual abuse.

Co-sleeping is a form of mutual submission between mother and child, with mothers holding children in their loving arms. 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 understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, inclduing any punishments or controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

It is common knowledge that children aged 2-6 refuse to go to sleep many times. Most parents chalk it up to defiance, and punish children for refusing to go to sleep. The fact of the matter is that children of the beforementioned age group are not ready to sleep on their own. Most children in that age bracket have a primal fear of being devoured by predators. Parents may say that the days of snakes and scorpions biting children in their sleep are gone, but predators that devour children exist today, in the form of child rapists and sexual assailants. Usually, the rape or sexual assault of children is committed by a father figure, and usually when the child is isolated in their own room. Mothers in biblical times knew this intuitively, and co-slept next to their children in skin-on-skin format, in order to guard their children from rape or sexual assault. Fathers had an active sexual drive towards their own children, usually their own daughters, and children could sense it, thus sleeping next to mothers for safety's sake. The mother was right there, so nothing could happen.

Many parents think that babies need to learn how to self-soothe. The fact of the matter, however, is that children do not learn how to self-soothe until puberty. Most children in biblical times co-slept next to mothers up until puberty. When they hit puberty, children usually insisted on a bed or other place to sleep of their own, and they were given space by their parents then. Children cannot self-soothe until they are soothed by their mothers, and even then, they need to be soothed until they are ready for their own sleeping arrangements, on their own.

An integral part of Christian attachment parenting is child nudity. In the Early Church, both mothers and children were completely naked in the family home, with children being naked all of the time until adulthood. This child nudity, as well as the nudity on the part of mothers, made it easier for children to receive the skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance that they need. Most ancient parenting contexts don't stress skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance much like the Early Christian context does. Mothers kept their children close during the first 6 years of the child's life, constantly holding children, and wrapping them up next to her bosom in swaddling blankets when out and about. Around age 6, children insisted on independence, and were lavishly praised and encouraged in bold feats of independence by fathers.

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!

Why to catch children being good (instead of children being bad)

Many parents think that you should catch children being bad, and punish them. Most parents argue that punishment is good for children. This is a common attitude for American parents to have. Most American parents think discipline is something to impose on children. The fact of the matter is that children are capable of self-discipline, and thus should be encouraged to discipline themselves. This is what we mean by catching children being good.

Catching children being good is part of the broader Christian doctrine of mutual submission. See Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; May it be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) 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, inclduing any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing 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 the Law 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 in his writings.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to, in this context, modeling Christian discipline to children. The Christian standard of discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore grateful for absolutely everything, leading to a chastened up example for children to follow. In the 1st Century, Christian parents worked on centering their entitlement, and their children followed suit. When children were caught emulating the disciplined example of their parents, they were lavishly praised and encouraged to "keep going down the right path". Children were caught being good, and this good behavior was learned through the atmosphere through the disciplined example of parents. Children absorbed the values of parents, and when they showed the Christian discipline of their parents, they were rewarded with lavish praise and encouragement. Sometimes, parents had to give explicit instructions. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to parental instruction. Parents could not issue lawful orders to minor children, and so they made requests from the bottom of their heart, hoping children would listen out of trust and fondness that parents sought to earn from children.

In order for your disciplined example to have worth to your child, you have to form a secure attachment with your child, which starts with mothers and ends up with fathers. Mothers in biblical times, during the first 6 years of their children's lives, were in constant closeness with their children, with children being held in skin-to-skin comfort and sustenance by mothers in the home, and wrapped up next to her bosom in swaddling blankets when outside the home. Both mother and child were naked when in the home, and children were always naked until adulthood. Child nudity was a key part of the Early Christian parenting context, and made it easier for mothers to bond with, and co-sleep next to, their children in skin-on-skin format, with mothers being naked as well. This closeness impacted how children approached their fathers. Fathers made themselves at home with their children through masturbatory fantasy about their children, which made for a close bond between father and child, usually father and daughter. 

When parents engaged in the abovementioned parenting, children automatically emulated the disciplined example of their parents. Then, parents could praise and encourage children when they followed the example of their parents. When parents form a secure attachment with their children, their children want to follow in their parents' footsteps. This transformation in a child doesn't happen overnight, but it surely happens on its own. Children grow up entirely on their own, guided by the disciplined example of their parents.

Contrary to popular belief, children are capable of self-discipline. Children just need a rational, disciplined adult in order to grow up to be rational and disciplined adults themselves. Children usually model themselves after adults that they like. The idea is to win children over so they like you, and like you enough to follow in your footsteps. This means that if you want a disciplined child, YOU need to be disciplined yourself. 

In most cases, children start to emulate a parent's disciplined example sometime after age 6. Children usually, from there, revert to a more infantile state when mothers are around. But, as they get older, they gradually need mothers less and less, being convicted of the discipline of their parents. By the time they are adolescents, they are ready to take on the world, but have to wait until age 18 in order to have the rights of an adult. A teenager raised in an attachment parenting home is, on average, more independent than a punitively parenting teenager, and is also more tough and resilient than a punitively parented teenager. 

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!

Child nudity: Why child nudity should be encouraged in the family home

Child nudity is something that is often punished in Christian homes. This is a reason for punishment in many homes across America. Most parents insist on children wearing clothing except when bathing or changing. The fact of the matter, however, is that child nudity is necessary for proper Christian attachment parenting.

Secure attachment is commanded in the Bible. It says in Colossians 3:20 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: as this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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 extensions of God.

In the Early Church, children wore no clothing, at all, until they were adults. Mothers also were completely naked in the family home, only wearing clothing outside the home. Mothers wore a thin, revealing dress that only covered up the basics, in order to honor her husband. Children never wore clothing. 

The reason for children not wearing clothing was simple - so that children got optimal skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance when picked up or held by their mothers, who were also naked at the time. This skin-on-skin closeness formed a secure attachment between mothers and children. Fathers also formed a secure attachment in the form of a sexual attachment to his children, which a good father dealt with by way of masturbatory fantasy about his child.

Allowing for child nudity in the home is the quickest way to Christian attachment parenting. Child nudity was the centerpiece of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century, as the nude setup of the household facilitated the ability for skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. Unlike other parenting contexts in ancient history, the Early Christian parenting context stresses nudity in conjunction with skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. 

When you start to see your children naked all of the time as a parent, you start to revert to your natural instincts as a parent. You then start to revert to a state where you relate to your child at an equal level. Both mothers and fathers have parent attraction that can be re-channeled into nurturing children the appropriate way. Pedophilia and parent attraction is simply, evolutionarily speaking, connotations attached to children so they don't leave your line of sight. A non-offending pedophile is constantly aware of the children around them when in public, but that's where the attraction ends.

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 ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's wrath forever and ever!

Change of heart: How to bring your child to a change of heart (without spanking or punishment)

Many parents want their children to have a change of heart. That is the number one reason why punitive parenting is defended the way it is today. Most parents who punish their children, including physically, are trying to bring their children to a change of heart. The fact of the matter is that it can be done without punitive parenting of any sort.

The concept of bringing a change of heart in a child is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission in parenting. See Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

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 exrensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the Ephesian church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers, in this context, to modeling Christian discipline to children. The standard of Christian discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore grateful for absolutely everything, leading to a chastened up example for children to follow. In biblical times, parents worked on their entitlement, with parents centering their entitlement, modeling Christian discipline and chastisement to children. Christian parents in biblical times caught their children being good, and then lavishly praised and encouraged self-improvement in children with phrases like "keep going down the right path". Parents caught children being good at the first sign that the child emulated their disciplined example. Parents sometimes had to give direct instructions to children. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to parental instruction. Parents could not issue lawful orders to their minor children, and so they requested things from children from the bottom of their heart, hoping their children would listen. When there was a secure attachment, which was the case most of the time, children listened automatically to parents, and also kept their disciplined example, especially later in childhood.

It is impossible to bring someone to a change of heart through punishment. The old idea is that children need to be broken down, usually by way of corporal punishment, until they are in tears, and then they can hear Christ's message of peace and forgiveness. The fact of the matter is that children do not learn through pain or being broken down, but by seeing their parents break themselves down and build themselves back up in self-improvement. 

Most children who have a secure attachment to parents want to be like their parents. Therefore, if they see their parents have a change of heart, they too will have a change of heart. Christian discipline, if experienced right, breaks you down, then builds you back up. Christian discipline takes everything you want away, then shows you what you already have. Children are capable of disciplining themselves in this way, especially as they get older. All you have to do is show them the way, and do so using your own example and encouragement.

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!

"Benign" deprivation: Why not to deprive your child of things they want

Many parents buy into authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting is where children can petition parents for what they want, but parents ultimately are tbe ones deciding what children need, apart from the child's requests. Most authoritative parenting is practiced using time-out, and maybe the occasional disciplinary spanking. One aspect of authoritative parenting is "benign" deprivation, which is depriving children of wants and even needs. Authoritative parenting guru John Rosement states repeatedly that "children need most of what they need, and some of what they want". The fact of the matter is that children need ALL of what they need, with what they want generally being what they need. Children do NOT need to hear the word "no" except when "no" is the only answer to be given.

Giving children everything that they need is part 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 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 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.

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

Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and the greatest of these needs is attachment! Children do, in fact, know what they need, but may not advocate it directly or civilly. They usually advocate a vulnerable need by wanting things. Each want of a child is reflective of a need. For example, when a child asks for things in the store, know that those things come from YOU, meaning they really need attachment. In the child's eyes, getting them what they want in the store is a sign of your love. If you are of low-income and honestly can't afford what they want, show them affection when they ask for what they want, meaning, most of the time, skin-on-skin comfort. But, if you can afford it, why not splurge for them? They are only little once.

Children, in biblical times, had lawful authority over their parents, and had the right to give orders as to what they needed, with this called righteous ordering then. The every cry of children was interpreted as a lawful order from children, leading to mothers in particular responding to the every cry of a child. In biblical times, children had an infantilized conditioning, meaning they cried whenever they wanted something, knowing that they'd get what they wanted most of the time. Under Christian law, parents were only allowed to say "no" if the child was asking for something completely unworkable or immoral, in which case they could refuse the law of their children. Children in the Early Church got most of what they wanted, and everything they needed, despite the average Christian being dirt poor.

"Benign" deprivation is not a biblical practice in parenting. The goal in parenting is to give children most of what they want, and all of what they need. Children do need stuff, because that stuff comes from YOU, and because it comes from YOU, it is a sign of your love. Most of the time, children don't ask for much. Maybe a toy they really want, and they are counting on you to grant them their wish. Saying "no" just for the sake of "no" an act of separation, not attachment. On one level, children truly want what they say they want, but on another level, that want is connected to attachment needs. So, why not splurge on toys and candy? They are only little once, so they should be treated with whatever they want, as long as it is workable and moral. 

Children got most of what they wanted in biblical times. Christian mothers in the 1st Century, despite being impoverished, did a lot for their children. When children were taken out and about, they could take any food they wanted from market, and mom would cook it for them if she had to. Christian parents then were seen by the church as bondservants to their children, working for a lump sum which was independence.

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!

Time-in: Why time-in is better than time-out

Many parents today use time-out as a means to control the movements of their child. This is a common punishment that parents impose upon children, many times in conjunction with a disciplinary spanking. This is how authoritative parenting is implemented in America. The fact of the matter, however, is that time-in is more effective than time-out or spanking. However, there is a proper way to do time-in, and that is the biblical way.

Time-in takes place in the context of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, where parents are convicted into dutiful and fearful submission to children, with children resting in such 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 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 prohibitng 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 and offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen as in biblical times holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Time-in has a proper application, and that proper application is rooted in the biblical context, thereby coloring the meaning of the Christian commands on parenting. When a child cried in biblical times, mothers always responded, and usually gave the child skin-on-skin comfort, maybe allowing the child to suckle her teat if milk-hungry. In most cases, this skin-on-skin contact with the mother soothed the child and stopped crying instantly. Then, mothers asked the child what they needed, that is if the child was old enough to verbalize their needs. With babies, mothers intuitively knew what children wanted or needed, and fulfilled that need.

The every cry of a child was deemed law in the Early Church, meaning that if you did not respond to your child's cries with warmth and affection, you were guilty of theft under the Law, at the very least, depending on the nature of the offense perceived by the child, but maybe kidnapping if the offense involved servile treatment of any kind. Parents, in the Early Christian church communities, were under the lawful authority of their children, with children able to impose orders on parents, which was usually done through crying. Parents had to respond to the tears of children, or be deemed abusers.

The way the abovementioned context can be best applied today is to allow children to not wear clothing when simply walking around the house. Then, when you are the mother, and your child is crying, disrobe and hold the naked child to your bosom, reassuring the child with the word "this too will pass". The child's tears should turn silent before going away completely, and then you can work out with your child what they need. In public, mothers can take their children to the ladies' room and tuck the crying or upset child under their shirt.

Fathers can also reassure their children, albeit more from afar than the mother can. They can reassure the child with the words "this too will pass", perhaps with gentle physical affection. Fathers can learn how to be gentle with their children through righteous masturbation, meaning indulging in masturbatory fantasy about their child in order to encapsulate their sexual drive towards their own child, which all fathers have, usually towards daughters.

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!

Control from beneath: Why children controlled parents from beneath in biblical times

Many parents think that they are in charge of their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents think that their children have to answer to them, and when children refuse to answer to parents. The fact of the matter is that the Bible states it in the reverse - parents have to answer to their children.

Parents are to submit to their children dutifully and fearfully, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as extensions of God. Children are then to rest securely, in mutual submission with 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 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 the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Parents, in biblical times, were under the lawful authority of their children. Children had every right to issue lawful orders and decrees to their parents, and parents were to obey and submit to the lawful authority of their children. Parents dutifully and fearfully submitted to children, from beneath yet from above, struck with reverent terror by the cries of the child, feeling compelled to respond to the every cry of a child.

In the Early Church, parenting manuals stated that the every cry of a child is law. Thus, refusing to respond to a child's cries in a timely fashion was seen as the same as refusing to give God what He needs from mankind. Children cast a dominion over their parents that never ended until the child left the house. Parents had no lawful authority over their minor children, and could simply make requests from the bottom of their heart, hoping that children trusted them enough to listen to their requests. 

Christian mothers in the 1st Century responded to the every cry of their children, even if they only wanted attention, following their instincts, motivated by the fear of God, with God represented in their children. Mothers usually gave children loving attention in skin-on-skin fashion, reassuring children that "this too will pass" with the child in skin-on-skin contact with their bosom, perhaps suckling her teat if milk-hungry. Even older children, who were more mobile than children under age 6, wanted sustaining warmth and closeness with mothers from time to time, usually at night when co-sleeping next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. The every cry of a child was seen as law, meaning it was a violation of Christian law to not respond to your child's cries. Not responding to the cries of children was deemed to be a provocation to anger against a child.

Children had much lobbying power with their parents. Children in biblical times usually got what they wanted, and always got what they needed. Instead of parents unilaterally deciding what a child needed, children decided what they needed, and lobbied their parents as to their every vulnerable need, as well as benign wants. Parents could only say "no" if the orders from their children were immoral or unworkable. Christian law put parents in a position where they could easily be manipulated by their children, and then parents had no legal recourse if backed into doing something wrong.

All of the abovementioned context is binding on America today just as it was binding on the Early Christians that received God's Word. God intended for ALL of the Bible to be understood in context, meaning the Hebraic context. God cast a dominion over all of mankind, yet only a few will heed the warning. America is a Christian nation, founded upon Judeo-Christian family values. The Bible is a founding document of this country, above even the Constitution itself.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive parents 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 tbe 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!

Righteous masturbation: How to prevent child sexual abuse

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Most adults think child sexual abuse is an inevitable moral crime to be committed against children. It is a common attitude amongst American attitude that we can't do anything about child sexual abuse being so common. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. 

Every single adult is guilty in relation to children, and is deserving of DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. All adults are capable of the worst of child abuse, including child sexual abuse, under the right/wrong conditions. That doesn't mean every adult will sexually abuse a child, but a fair amount will, once alone with a child. There are things YOU can do to mitigate your risk to children as an adult.

A common excuse for child sexual abuse, on the surface, is a false and abusive religious teaching that is endorsed on a societal level. See Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement. Adult sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want for children, to the point of sexually motivated approach. Righteous masturbation was a way to re-channel sexual desire away from sexual sin in the Early Church, and that included the rape and sexual assault of children. Rape and sexual assault of children was considered fornication in every case in the Early Church, and was grounds for excommunication. Fornication was seen as blasphemy, thus worse than murder. Child sexual abuse was rare next to non-existent in biblical context.

Most child sexual abuse today is repressed in terms of the entitlement involved. Most adults who sexually abuse a child are repressing their sex drive towards children. When you repress anything, it comes out sideways...and that's how sexual abuse happens. The adult fornicator represses sexual desires towards a child, usually their own child, and fights it back in their head, and keeps fighting it back, until they can fight it back no more. Then, it spills out onto the child, leading to a tragedy that could have easily been prevented with proper sexual hygiene.  

Most child sexual abuse has more to do with the electra complex than pedophilia. Most child sexual abuse is committed by a father or father figure, usually when the sexual desire towards his daughter is repressed. Sexual abuse occurs when this sexual desire is so repressed that it comes out sideways as sexual entitlement. Righteous masturbation will re-channel those sexual desires inward, thus encapsulating them so the adult has total control over their sexual drive for children.

Preventing child sexual abuse is a matter of personal responsibility. Simply find a fantasy about children that you are repressing, and masturbate to it, and keep masturbating until you feel comfortable with the thought of sex with children. It is guaranteed to remain a thought, however, as you will have better self-control around children, no matter what they are wearing or not wearing. It is something that doesn't have to happen, but does because adults lack personal responsibility towards themselves and the children they come in contact with.

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

Providing custody: The contents of custody under Christian law

Many parents think that they own their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most parents take ownership over their children, thinking that they own them as property or chattel. The fact of the matter is that the Bible gives children individual rights, even over their parents. Providing custody is the empowered rest of children in the love and submission of their parents. 

Providing custody is the child's lot in the Christian doctrine for 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 Chrst. 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 they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child. 

The Greek root word υπακουο ultimately refers to providing custody. Providing custody is where children are in a state of secure rest in relation to the dutiful and fearful submission of their parents, with parents fearfully submitting to children from beneath yet from above. To better understand providing custody, one must understand that children have lawful authority over their parents, able to issue lawful orders to get what they need and want from parents. Parents could only refuse the law of their children if, given the circumstances, the Law contradicts the child's orders, or else the child's orders are completely unworkable. Usually, parents had to scramble and find a way to obey their child, or else face the penalty that is their wrath.

The way this legal framework worked in practice is that children cried, and mothers responded to the every cry of their child. The every cry of a child is law in the Hebraic understanding of the Bible. Mothers provided food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment based on the cries of their children, with the most important need being attachment. Even if the child cried out for attention, the mother immediately and instinctively responded by giving the child loving attention. 

Parenting manuals in biblical times issued the decree that the every cry of a child was law, and that ignoring the cries of children was akin to ignoring the Law that God has instituted as a dominion cast on all mankind, for mankind to obey fearfully and dutifully. Simply ignoring one cry of a child was seen as a self-condemnation to Hell in the Early Church, unless the mother repented and got on the straight and narrow. Parents were seen as servants by their children, of the comforting variety. 

Even fathers nurtured. Mothers nurtured up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. Fathers mainly nurtured in terms of praising self-improvement in children. Fathers also were playmates to children from time to time, of the silly and playful type, relating to children at their level. Fathers helped out mothers when she got tired of responding to crying, and did so by taking over for her duties.

Parents dutifully and fearfully submitted to children from beneath yet from above. Children were seen as menacing for their small size and stature, and parents felt compelled to obey the orders of their children. Parents were seen by children then as objects of comfort and pleasure, usually starting with mothers breastfeeding their children until age 3 in most cases, or in some cases all the way until age 6 or older. Parents feared their children, in a guilt-ridden way, and every time their child cried, they immediately responded, out of instinct. Ancient Israel and the Early Church were child worshipping societies, with children being seen as vulnerable extensions of God called to judge righteously the charity and good will of adults, and then report to God their findings.

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!
