Birth nudity: Why birth nudity is a Christian tradition in America

Many parents think that it is commonsense that children keep the clothing on. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents insist on children wearing clothing. However, the fact of the matter is that childhood in biblical times was completely clothing-less. This was because birth nudity was a tradition in biblical times.

Birth nudity 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 submission of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers 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 are to 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, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage 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 Christians 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 secular writings. Indeed, the scourge of cords was used by Greco-Roman parents, but NOT the Christians among them  - the scourge of cords was shunned by the Early Church.

Birth nudity is an old tradition, dating back to the founding of the Early Christian churches. As practiced in biblical times, birth nudity was where mother and child were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. The mother was quartered in the family home by the needs of her child, fully devoted to the sustaining needs of children. When children cried, the mother was right there in order to comfort and reassure their child, cooing and then picking up the child, before holding the child close to her bosom in mammary closeness, perhaps breastfeeding the child to sleep if milk-hungry. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. This skin-on-skin co-sleeping lasted until the child reached the onset of puberty, and then wanted to sleep on their own.

Mothers went naked in the family home only, in order to serve both her husband and her children, separately. Mothers, when out and about in public, wore a loose-fitting, revealing dress, with children tucked underneath the mother, swaddled to her bosom in swaddling blankets. Children always went naked, wherever they went, and it was seen as normal by adults then.

Today, birth nudity can be practiced by mothers being with their child in the family home, with both parties nude next to each other, with children being able to choose when they get to wear their clothing. Until they are ready for their clothing, they can range beside their mother in the nude, with the mother also naked. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger 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 day and night forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
