Total submission to children: Why parents are to obey their children

Many parents think that children should submit to them. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents expect their children to submit to them. However, parents are to be in dutiful and selfless submission to children, meaning parents are to obey their children.

Love is submission, and submission is obedience. See Matthew 22:35-40 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "love" is αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in this context, putting children first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from fearful conviction of a sinful nature, with parents knowing that they are depraved and decadent sinners who are deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children and the God that protects them. This creates a sense of urgency where parents feel parched and worthless, leading to parents submitting to children by obeying the every order of children.

Christian attachment parenting is based off of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke 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 submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers are to rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. 

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, reprimands, or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in the Early Church, had lawful and divine authority over their parents, meaning children could issue lawfully binding orders, and from there, parents had to obey the orders of their children in most every case, or else risk provoking their child to anger. Parents could only righteously disobey their child's orders and authority when the orders were unlawful and/or unworkable. When disobeying an order from a child righteously, parents had to be reassuring towards any upset. This usually meant skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance such as mammary closeness.

Young children issued lawfully binding orders by crying, and from there, mothers obeyed the orders of children, and did so by responding to the every cry of children, giving them what they need. Children age 6 and up would bark orders at mothers. Mothers did not fight the orders, but instead gave up the fight, and gave in to the orders of their child. Children issued orders towards parents, and parents obeyed the orders, only disobeying when the law of their child conflicted with God's Law, or when the order was completely unworkable. 

Children could take their parents to court if they perceived a provocation to anger over being told "no". Parents had to prove, in their defense, that they reassured their child, and that the word "no" was warranted due to the order from the child being unlawful and/or unworkable. If any of the aforementioned criteria could not be proven, the parents were excommunicated from the church, and the children were collected by "child saviors" into a form of foster care run by non-contact pedophiles. Demanding sexual ransom was seen as fornication under the Law. When parents won the lawsuit, the child was comforted by their church elders and gently lectured at their level. Children did not have to pay any legal penalties whatsoever. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them forever be 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!
