Passing down the faith: How to teach children the Christian faith

Many parents think that passing down the faith means punishing a child in order to "beat the devil out of them". This is a common attitude amongst American parents. The fact of the matter is that religion in children is a human need. 

God's Word states in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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 "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 in the parish at Ephesus 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers here to a certain specific form of nurturing, namely nurturing of the teaching type. Christian parents in the Early Church caught their children being good, and then praised and encouraged good behavior in children. Christian parents then set a good Christian example for their children, but backed it up by praise and encouragement, not punishment or force. Children have a human need for religion, and they can come to their own religious conclusions. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to self-directed religious instruction. The role of parents in a child's religious education is to encourage children when they take up religion. Maybe it isn't your choice of religion, but at least they have values.

Children have a human need for religion, meaning that they will eventually find religion on their own. The idea is to leave out a Bible for children to discover and explore. When children growing up in the Early Church were caught in the act of reading the Bible, they were given lavish praise and encouragement. The more they read Scripture, the more praise and encouragement they got.

It is a myth that children need to have their will broken in order to accept Christ. Children are perfectly capable of forming their own religious conclusions. When children start to form an interest in religion, encourage them to explore the Bible. Religion is a human need for children and adults alike, meaning that children may be born atheist, but they eventually find religion on their own. The way of parents having a say in the child's religious education is to impart a good Christian example for your child. When they heed your example, lavishly praise and encourage them to keep headed down the straight path. 

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

Child discipline: How to discipline your child (without punishment or force)

Many parents think that discipline means punishment. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to discipline your child. The idea is to catch children in the act of being good.

God's Word states in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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 "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 in the parish at Ephesus 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers here to a certain specific form of nurturing children, namely a teaching way of nurturing. In the Early Church, this nurturing came in the form of catching children being good, and then praising them for more of the same in terms of behavior. Parents modeled good behavior to their children, with this Christian example being backed up by praise and encouragement, as opposed to punishments or force. Children were also praised for following their religious beliefs. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to encouraging the religious development of children, with religion being a human need for children and adults alike. Whenever children were caught following their religious beliefs, they were given lavish praise and encouragement.

Catching children being good is a tradition in Jewish parenting, and was even a tradition back in the days of the biblical context. The role of fathers was to praise and encourage the good behavior in children, not punish bad behavior in children. The Early Church was an offshoot of Judaism, with no Jew worth mentioning ever endorsing punishing a child. 

It is a myth that fathers raped their children with "hand-me-down-the-slate" gaslighting in biblical times. Instead, mothers nurtured up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. The role of fathers in the Early Church was to discipline his children, but only through praise and encouragement. Other than that, the man of the house simply offered moral support to the woman of the house in the course of parenting.

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

Temper tantrums: Why meltdowns in children are not bad behavior

Many parents punish their children simply for throwing a temper tantrum. This is a common motive for punishing children in America. Most parents think that when a child throws a temper tantrum, that they need punishment. However, the fact of the matter is that temper tantrums in children are not bad behavior.

Tending to temper tantrums is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refers to doing good things for children, meeting children's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to,  any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Temper tantrums happen a lot with children in modern American society. Most parents punish their children merely for having a meltdown. However, Christian parents in the Early Church knew more than parents today that children cry in order to petition a need from parents. Most children in biblical times did not throw a full-fledged, kicking and screaming temper tantrum. Instead, they cried when they needed something, without the kicking and screaming.

The most common reason for children in the Bible, under age 6, crying was separation anxiety. Children in the Early Church cried a deathly, screeching cry when mom as little as left the room, fearing that mom would "go away and never come back". Mothers then picked up the child, and held the young child next to her bosom in mammary closeness. From there, she diagnosed the need, before meeting that need.

Children today are forced into silence by way of punishments imposed on them. Children in that context are afraid of being punished for crying. Thus, children instead hold in their big emotions, and keep holding it in, until they can no longer contain themselves, in which case they tantrum out of overwhelm. Christian parents in the Early Church instead allowed their children to cry, and then responded in order to meet the petitioned needs of children. 

Children were understood by customary law in the Early Church as having five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - with the greatest of these needs being attachment! Christian parents in the Early Church first tested for attachment needs by co-snuggling their children in mammary closeness, possibly breastfeeding the child if they were milk-hungry. When the child continued crying, the mother scrambled to find out what the child needed, before fulfilling the child's need, whatever that need may be. Tiredness was counted as an attachment need, as children should sleep next to his/her mother when they go to bed. 

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

Expanding child abuse definitions: Why the Bible calls for more laws protecting children

Many parents want the child abuse definitions to be the same as they are today. Most American parents hold onto the belief that the ancients had no concept of child abuse or childhood. The fact of the matter is that child abuse is a biblical concept, with child abuse being defined under the Law as whatever the child victim perceives as abuse.

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement consists of parents who are sorely disappointed when they don't get what they feel that they deserve from children. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing from children just for existing. Any parent anger being directed towards a child was deemed parental entitlement.  When this sense of entitlement on the part of parents was perceived by a child as offensive or damaging, it was deemed child abuse. See also 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 was 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 towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

The Greek root word translated "they be discouraged" is αθυμέω (Latin: athumeo) and refers to long-term damages, namely trauma in this context. The ancients had a concept of trauma, meaning that when a child grew up to become an atheist, the atheism was seen as a sign of trauma, not simply a lost soul in need of saving.

Prosecution of child abuse offenders was done in the Early Church by way of pro-social rumor. The rumor started when a child shunned their parents, with the adult children turning atheist. Word spread far and wide that a child was abused. Once the rumor reached the council, a panel of 3 elders decided the fate of the parents. If the court came to a guilty verdict, the child was given a choice - go with pedophiles or go with parents. Usually, the pedophile took in the child as a foster parent for the child. If the child instead wanted to go with parents, suspicion fell onto the pedophile, with the pedophile being charged with sexual abuse of a child. "Child saviors" then were not allowed to rape their child charges.

The Bible is an anti-spanking document, with all 88 books of the Bible being written by Jews, and no Jew worth mentioning has ever endorsed anything punitive towards a child. Even King Solomon recommended attachment parenting for the little ones. The rod of correction in the Bible was directed towards adult children as a form of judicial corporal punishment, meaning the 40 minus 1 lashes, being administered only in a courtroom setting. Christ put an end to capital and corporal punishment in the Old Testament by doing His Work on the cross. Christ Himself endorsed attachment parenting off the cuff, as a rabbi giving a sermon. 

America is a Christian nation, with the Bible being a founding document of this country, even above the Constitution itself. Most of our legal statutes come from the Bible, with our society gleaning how to live from the Bible and its context. But, the "reasonable chastisement" defense is based in false biblical teaching, and thus has got to go. We can base our new child abuse definitions off of what the Bible already says, meaning whatever the child victim perceives as abuse.

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

Pedophilic children: How to bring up your pedophilic child

Many parents have a fear of their child meeting a pedophile. This is a common fear amongst parents. However, nothing prepares parents for when their child is a pedophile. Children can be pedophiles. and they are the most oppressed of all children. 

What is pedophilia? A pedophile is not an anger packet attached to a dirty old man. A pedophile instead has a form of immature autism where the individual with autism specializes in children and children's issues. Autism means "one with". Pedophilia is a form of autism that is "one with" children, meaning that pedophilia is an affinity attraction to children. Most pedophiles have child smarts, meaning usually that they are rule-oriented individuals with autism, but somehow think the rules don't apply to children. 

Most pedophiles become aware of their pedophilia in the teenage years, and sometimes even earlier. The diagnostic criteria for pedophilic disorder requires the mental health client to be at least 16 before being officially diagnosed with pedophilia. 

Pedophilia is simply a sexual curiosity about the child form, meaning a pedophilic child is sexually curious about much younger children. Most pedophilic offenses simply involve wanting to see things, thus undressing a child in order to sneak a peek as to what the child is covering up with their clothing. There exist children's books educating children about body parts as a form of sex education. A pedophilic child definitely can use such a book to understand fully what children's body parts look like. 

Most pedophiles can go without getting what they want fully. The Greek root word denoting lust is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers here not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. It is okay to look the look, and think the think later, but if you find yourself doing the deed, then you shouldn't have even approached the child. "Approach" here refers to taking the first steps towards the sexual abuse of a child. Most pedophiles approach a child by way of zig-zag grooming, meaning they phish for personal information from a child in a way that evades the parents. I myself approached a much younger child and asked for her name and number, and all that was needed to stop me was a child who knew to not give personal information to strangers. 

Most pedophiles are the last people to abuse a child in any way. Most child sexual abuse is not committed by a pedophile, but by an adult who is a sexually entitled opportunist. Most sexual abusers of children are confronted with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sexually abuse a child. The reason why they abuse children sexually is that they repress their secondary sexual desires towards children, with the desires then coming out sideways onto a child, like a ton of bricks. Usually, the child is suspecting, but nobody believes the child until it is too late.

When your child discloses pedophilia to you, hold them close, and reassure them of your presence. Let them get that burden unloaded onto you, like unloading baggage, with parents being the baggage carousel. Listening to a pedophile is like listening to a child's heartbeat. The antisocial way of disclosing pedophilia isn't a tearful disclosure, but an impulsive disclosure. Some of us as pedophiles have a history of bipolar mania, and we need to tone down that royalty high. Many cases of pedophilia are associated with mood disorders, usually major depression. Most pedophiles who are found out are mostly a danger to themselves, not children. 

Most pedophiles have a history of being abused by parents, meaning their own parents. Most pedophiles were given a sexual shaming trauma. Parents usually can tell that their child is a pedophile by where the child's eyes go. Most parents shun the topic, and punish their children for sexual fantasies about much younger children. Anything that offends the child is child abuse under biblical law, including if the child is attracted to much younger children. Pedophiles have a collective parent trauma of the sexual shaming sort. I myself was accepted by a parent, namely my mother, and now she is my accountability partner. I can talk to my mother about anything, including my pedophilia. Now I have the disorder, but it is in remission, meaning I am no longer grooming young girls in a zig-zag fashion. Pedophilia is only a disorder if it interferes with your daily functioning, or else is acted upon - and I acted on it through zig-zag grooming. Most pedophiles simply have situational depression that can't otherwise be classified, and so we call it pedophilic disorder. Once the desires are both tamed and accepted, the pedophilic disorder goes into remission.

Some pedophiles are antisocial in the presentation of their disorder. Some of us seeming were born as proud as can be, meaning we had bipolar mania. Pedophilia, when co-morbid with bipolar mania, can manifest itself as a "love" addiction. I was in "love" with "love", not knowing what love is. I needed religion badly, while being afraid of being led down a pro-spanking path with religion. I did most of the Twelve Steps to keep my pedophilia at bay, meaning I first admitted that I was powerless over a co-morbid parent trauma, and then turned myself into God and His Laws, which also helped me with my pedophilia. With my pedophilia, I took a fearless moral inventory, and made amends whenever possible. You can work the Twelve Steps while only being in individual therapy, with therapy simply being a listening environment where you find your own answers. Take what you need from the Twelve Steps, and leave the rest. I myself also take mood stabilizers, and that alone brought me to a place where I could face my pedophilic desires head on. I was infatuated with child after child after child, like train cars, with everyone around me hoping for the caboose. A mentally disabled abuser like I was is the hardest of all offenders to rehabilitate, as their whole identity revolves around a specific child, meaning an autistic fixation surrounding a specific child. They want to get to know the child, but don't know the boundaries. Some pedophiles are career rapists, but they are rare. He may be a pedophile, but is he a rapist? That question is the new children's rights standard. 

Most pedophilic children are pro-social in the presentation of their disorder, meaning they are the last people to sexually abuse a child. Most pedophiles are depressed about the realization that they are a pedophile, in the most anguished of ways. Usually, pedophilic disorder involves low self-esteem, meaning they are on the depressive end of the mental health spectrum. The key for most pedophiles is self-acceptance. Self-acceptance simply means liking one thing about yourself. I myself like my sexual fantasies about children, and so should any pedophile. I just can't insist on others liking me. People are free to dislike pedophiles, but only after they hear us out as to who we really are. I personally wish that no newborn baby grow up to be a pedophile. 

The best way to accept pedophilia in your child is to listen and validate when they disclose their pedophilia, and give them a lengthy sex education based off of the abstinence model. Most people who accept a pedophile see them as a kid, in a way that involves sorrow and mourning for the child who becomes a pedophile. It is okay to pity a pedophile, but one should know that the pedophile might see the issue differently, especially when they come to an accepting place about themselves. Most trauma survivors are accepting of me being a pedophile, and they see me as a kid attracted to younger children, all the while pitying me at the same time. 

The depraved and entitled parents who punish their pedophilic child for their desires will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!

The word "no": Why children need to hear the word "no" seldom (meaning almost never)

Many parents say "no" frequent and often. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents think that children need to hear the word "no" frequent and often. However, the fact of the matter is that children need your "yes" far more than your "no". The word "no" should be used seldom, meaning almost never.

The word "yes", when used frequently, is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refer to doing good things for children, meeting children's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40; 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death, after punishing their children one last time. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 children 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Christian parents in the Early Church were required under the Law, as well as customary law, to, by default, never say "no" to a child, lest it offend the child. The only time parents were allowed to say "no" was when children petitioned for something unsafe, unworkable, and/or immoral. Even when parents said "no", they were required to issue reassurance and an explanation as to why they had to say "no". If you are willing to give a Hebraic apology to your child, you are not entitled as a parent. A full apology is required when parents were angry at their children and/or approached their children by taking the first steps to sexually abusing a child, which is parental entitlement.

Even when parents had to decline a request, Christian parents in the Early Church used nicer-sounding phrases. These phrases included, but were not limited to, statements such as "that won't work", "that can't happen", or "that isn't possible". These phrases helped cushion the blow when a rare petitioned request was declined. 

Most Christian parents in the Early Church said "yes" or similar statements a lot, and that is because most unharmful wants count as attachment needs. When you deny your child what they want unnecessarily, you create a rift in the attachment with children. You also unnecessarily offend a child when you say "no" all of the time, and if you defend it as a right, it counted as an actual offense coming from entitlement.

The only way to say "no" to a child, morally legally speaking, is seldom, meaning almost never. If the parent had to say "no", they were to be apologetic in denying the child a want, and only deny a want when absolutely necessary. The right thing to say to reassure an upset child is "sorry I had to say 'no', but..." and then state the reason for the word "no". Or else, you can say it nicer and say things such as "that can't happen" calmly and apologetically.

Parent anger is the most common form of parental entitlement, and most parents who say "no" a lot have displeasure for their child that counts as entitlement. Most parents liken their child to a "gnat". The idea is to avoid parental entitlement at all costs, including any parent anger directed towards a child. The only time a parent should get angry is to take a protective stand for their child. Any time you lash out at your child, you are entitled, and need to atone for your parental entitlement by way of a full apology, promising the child never to abuse them again.

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

Children self-protect, adults abstain: Individual responsibility for adults attracted to children

Many parents think that pedophiles are the main threat to children. This is a common projectory excuse from parents and other adults charged with the duty of caring for children. However, the fact of the matter is that any old adult can sexually abuse a child, under the right/wrong conditions.

Every single adult is guilty just for the capacity to sexually abuse a child, meaning that adults are individually responsible for righteous avoidance in relation to children. The most necessary of all righteous avoidance is righteous masturbation. 

Children are perfectly capable of discerning whether an adult is sexually abusive or non-abusive. Children who perceive an adult as a threat have a special attraction to the adult that is repellant in nature, meaning instinct alone guides them away from harm. When children want to go with a stranger, think pedophile. Zig-zag groomers are the only abusers that evade the righteous judgment of children, and that is because they operate on the surface, without being guided by a narcissist.

The Greek root word denoting lust is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined under God's Law as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. It is okay to look the look, and then think the think later, but if you find yourself doing the deed with a child, you shouldn't have approached them. "Approach" refers to taking the first steps towards sexually abusing a child. 

I myself take the concept of adult abstinence seriously. I myself did commit an act of sexual abuse towards a child. I was a dating abuser, meaning I wanted a simple date with a child, and approached children in order to proposition them. Mentally disabled abusers such as how I was are the hardest of the abusers to rehabilitate. Mentally disabled abusers don't have a mere distant narcissist, but instead revolve their whole identity around a crush on a child.

A pedophile is not an anger packet directed at a child. Instead, a pedophile is an individual who has a sexual preference towards children under age 14. A pedophile has a form of immature autism that specializes in children in terms of intense interests. A pedophile is someone with autism who has child smarts, meaning the pedophilic individual is a walking and talking encyclopedia about children. Autism means "one with..." with pedophilia being a form of autism that is "one with" children. Usually, a pedophile is an ambivert, meaning they are extroverted around children, but otherwise introverted. Most pedophiles have moderate-severe autism, with a large part of the pedophile population having non-verbal autism. I myself have autism on the moderate end of the autism spectrum, meaning I have a passion for children's rights, and that I think a lot about children as a special interest.

Most adults who sexually abuse children are not pedophiles, but instead are ordinary adults being confronted with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rape or sexually assault a child. Most adults who sexually abuse children has a secondary sexual attraction to children that they repress, with the repressed desires coming out sideways onto the child, like a ton of bricks. The only way out of sexually abusing a child is in, meaning the masturbation basket.

The sexual dynamics in a family home come in the form of a criss-cross. Fathers and prepubescent daughters have a mutually unrequited attraction to each other. Boys have a dead end attraction to their mothers. Sexual abuse happens when parents repress their child attractions, with the repressed desires coming out onto the child, like a ton of bricks. The father-daughter dynamic here is called the "electra" complex. Sometimes, the mother sexually abuses her child, in which case we call that the "oedipus" complex.

All adults presumably have some attraction to children. Usually, the attraction is to teenagers, especially older teenagers who look like adults. Most men have a sexual attraction to teenage girls, and most women have a sexual attraction to teenage boys. 20% of men have a secondary attraction to prepubescent children. Most adults repress these attractions, in which case the repressed desires come out sideways, usually when the adult is left alone with a child. With righteous masturbation - meaning masturbation without pornography - the desire is quelled by the masturbatory orgasm, and an adult then can be alone with a child with no problem. I myself can handle being alone with a child, and that is because I know I can sexually fantasize about the girl later in my masturbatory fantasies.

It is the individual responsibility of all adults to abstain from child sexual abuse. It is not enough for others to stop a sexual predator, but instead, adults need to individually avoid anything that would lead them towards taking the first steps towards sexually abusing a child. We all as adults are capable of the worst forms of abuse towards children. I myself am a pedophile, and I choose not to sexually abuse a child. Part of choosing not to sexually abuse a child is masturbating righteously to sexual thoughts of children. When you discharge a fantasy about children, it quells the desires instantly, and brings you down to earth from a lust high. Righteous masturbation ends the struggle with lust, so that men in particular can be at ease with themselves. Masturbation was seen in the Early Church as a purification ritual, meaning if an individual wanted to flee fornication, they would masturbate to distract themselves from their sexual target. 

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire, prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!

Separation anxiety: Why children seemingly cry out of nowhere

Many parents think that children crying out of nowhere makes a child "bad" or "naughty". This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents think that children crying out of nowhere is the child "undermining parental authority". However. the fact of the matter is that young children usually cry out of separation anxiety, meaning nothing personal.

Tending to separation anxiety is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works are defined here as doing good things for children, meeting children's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishment, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Children who cry seemingly out of nowhere are usually punished by parents in today's American society. However, Christian parents in the Early Church knew more than today's parents that children under age 6 usually cry seemingly out of nowhere when they need mom. Children then cried a deathly, screeching cry when they were afraid of mothers "going away and never coming back".

Even when mothers went into the other room of their home, children cried a deathly, screeching cry that no loving mother could ignore. Mom was then forced to reassure her child of her presence, and that mom was not going anywhere. Mothers and her young children were seemingly attached at the hip, meaning children would not let mothers out of their line of sight.

It is recommended that mothers stay home for the first 6 years of a child's childhood. This is because children under age 6 are morbidly afraid of mom "going away and never coming back". Leaving the house and going to work will actually cause a form of trauma known as an attachment injury. Mothers going away is a child's worst fear realized, and when the mother was left with an emotional mess to clean up when she comes home. Children over age 6 are more resilient, and can be left with a babysitter with no problem, but not until the child attains the age of 6. 

Children today do seem to cry out of nowhere. That is because the cry for attachment is interpreted as a "need" for punishment. Children then learn to hide their separation anxiety, until they can keep it in no longer. Then, children cry out loud out of nowhere, when all they needed from the beginning was YOU. 

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

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior in children

Many parents think that a child who cries is deserving of punishment. This is a common attitude on the part of parents. Most American parents punish children merely for crying. However, the fact of the matter is that crying in children is not bad behavior.

Tending to a crying child is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refers to doing good things for children, meeting children's every need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Many American parents punish their children just for crying. Crying is seen by most parents as bad behavior. However, Christian parents in the Early Church knew more than today's parents that children cry in order to petition a need from their parents. 

Most children growing up in the Early Church cried a deathly, screeching cry that no loving mother could ignore. This cry broke down mothers, and kept breaking down the mother, until she met the correct need of the child. Childhood needs come in five basic categories; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - with the greatest of these needs being attachment! Mothers first tested for attachment needs in the child, meaning mammary closeness, with milk-dependent children being offered the teat of mothers. If the mammary closeness wasn't enough to stop the child from crying, the mother scrambled to figure out why the child was crying. However, most of the time, all children needed was mammary closeness with mom.

The most common reason for children crying was separation anxiety. Most children under age 6 have a morbid, primal fear of mom "going away and never coming back". Children were in constant closeness to mothers until age 6. There is a reason why babies can be soothed merely by being picked up - they have separation anxiety for mothers especially, and need to be reassured of mom's presence. 

Crying is a developmentally-appropriate behavior for a young child under age 6, or maybe even older in some cases. All children cry at some point, and that is a means for the child to petition parents for their every need. Never ignore a crying child - because they need YOU. 

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

Righteous co-sleeping: Why God wants parents to sleep next to their children

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the irresponsible choice for a parent. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. However, the fact of the matter is that not only does co-sleeping gel a bond between parent and child, but it also helps prevent child sexual abuse.

Righteous co-sleeping is the centerpiece of a mutual submission relationship between parent and child, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refers to doing good things for children, meeting children's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Most parents have to deal with bedtime refusal. This is a common reason for parents to punish their children. However, children under age 6 are too young to sleep in their own bed. Most children under age 6 have a primal fear of predators devouring them. You might think that predators don't exist today. You would be wrong. Most child sexual abuse happens as a bedtime ritual, with fathers sneaking into his child's bedroom, and raping her. In the Early Church, the sexual abuse of children was rare next to non-existent, and that was because the mother was right there, guarding her child from the sexual entitlement of fathers, perhaps using herself as a human shield for her child if necessary.

The most common excuse for not co-sleeping comes from fearmongering on the part of pediatricians and mental health professionals serving children, with frightening terms such as "sleep dependence". However, Christian parents in the Early Church co-slept next to children every night in skin-on-skin format, until the onset of puberty, which is when most children wanted their own place to sleep. However, even with extended co-sleeping - perhaps lasting into the teenage years - co-sleeping always had an end to it. 

Co-sleeping is the ultimate way to gel a bond with a child. The family bed was a concept in the Early Church. In the Early Church, the family bed came completely in the nude, with parents being naked in the confines of the household, and with children going naked wherever they went. The mother slept in between the children and their father, thereby guarding her children from the father's sexual entitlement. 

A large part of my trauma involved power struggles over co-sleeping. I needed mom to sleep next to me because I had bipolar mania, which includes racing thoughts at bedtime. This lasted well into the teen years. When I snuck into my parents' bed, my father grabbed me by the throat and then shook me. I did eventually learn to sleep in my own bed, once I was medicated with a mood stabilizer to calm me down. 

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

"Benign" deprivation: Why children need ALL of their needs

Many parents buy into the concept of "benign" deprivation. Most American parents withhold many of the child's needs, in order to save energy for what children "really" need. However, the fact of the matter is that children need ALL of their needs, not just some of them.

The concept of "benign" deprivation is a violation of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. The burden of proof in the Early Church fell squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refer to doing good things for children, meeting the child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8. 

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in his original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Most American parents buy into the concept of "benign" deprivation, meaning parents avoid meeting a bulk of the child's needs, in order to make room for what the child "really" needs. However, the fact of the matter is that children need their EVERY need, not just some of what they need. Christian parents in the Early Church met the every need of children, without exception. 

Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - with the greatest of these needs being attachment! The customary law in the Early Church called for Christian parents then to meet their children's every vulnerable need, including attachment needs. The mother then first tested for attachment needs, meaning she picked up the crying child, and held the child next to her bosom in mammary closeness, perhaps breastfeeding a milk-hungry child. After that, if they continued to cry, mothers tested through trial and error to find out what the child needed. Children cried a deathly, screeching cry in order to break down mothers, and keep breaking the mother down, until she finds the need behind the cry. "Benign" deprivation was prohibited under the customary law of the Early Church, and also in the parenting commands of the Bible.

Parents often deprive their child of needs by way of saying "no" all of the time. However, customary law in the Early Church, by default, banned the word "no" in parenting. The only valid reasons for saying "no" was if the child was petitioning for things that were unsafe, unworkable, and/or immoral. When the word "no" was given by parents, customary law required Christian parents in the Early Church to give reassurance and an explanation for the word "no". Even then, most parents avoided power struggles further by saying nicer-sounding phrases instead of "no", such as "that won't work", "that's not possible", or "that can't happen". 

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

Redefining child abuse: Why the Bible calls for expanding child abuse definitions

Many parents support the child abuse definitions already on the books. Most parents think that child abuse is a modern concept, and that the ancients in the Bible had no concept of child abuse. However, the Bible has its own definition of child abuse, namely whatever the child victim perceives as abuse. 

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement consists of parents being sorely disappointed when they don't get what they feel that they deserve from children. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing from children just for existing. Any parent anger directed towards children was seen in biblical times as parental entitlement. When this sense of entitlement in parents was perceived by the child as offensive or damaging, it was deemed child abuse. See also 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 here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon. 

The Greek root word translated "they be discouraged" is αθυμέω (Latin: athumeo) and refers here to long-term damages, namely trauma. The ancients did have a concept of trauma. Whenever a child went atheist while growing up, it was a smoking gun that incriminated the parents. Atheism was seen then as a sign of trauma. Atheists in the Early Church were afforded sympathy, but nor much else. 

The prosecution of abusers of children in the Early Church was based off of the concept of pro-social rumor. When adult children grew up to be atheist, and disowned their parents, word spread far and wide of a child being abused. When word reached the council, a panel of 3 elders heard the case of the abused children, and from there, the council reached a verdict. If the parents were convicted, the child was given a choice - go with parents, or go with pedophiles. Usually, the child went with pedophiles, running to the "child savior" for a big hug and refuge from abusive parents. However, the most pedophiles could do with a child was lactate to nurse orphaned children back to health. 

The Bible is an anti-spanking document. The writers of all 88 books of the Bible were Jews, and no Jew worth mentioning has ever endorsed punishing a child in any way. All of the biblical writers endorsed attachment parenting. Even King Solomon recommended attachment parenting for the little ones. The rod of correction simply refers in context to the 40 minus 1 lashes, meaning that whippings were a sentence for crimes committed by an adult child. Christ fulfilled the Law, thus repealing the harsh punishments in the Old Testament. The Early Christians shunned Roman floggings, and did not whip even those who ardently offended against their neighbor or the church. 

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

Mutual respect: Why respect is earned in parenting

Many parents feel entitled to respect from their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents insist on respect from their children. However, the fact of the matter is that parents need to earn respect from their children. 

The concept of mutual respect is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto the part of parents. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment ultimately comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refers to doing good things for children, meeting the child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refer here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Respect for parents was a thing in biblical times, but this respect came in the form of closeness to parents, not fear of parents. For the first 6 years of childhood, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever mom went, so did her child. For the first 2 years of childhood, children were constantly held by mom, either in mom's loving arms, or else on mom's back in a papoose bag when her hands were full. Between ages 2-6, children ranged next to mothers, seemingly being attached at mom's hip, not allowing mothers out of their line of sight, with children morbidly fearing that mom would "go away and never come back". Whenever children cried, mothers cooed at their children before picking them up, and from there, she diagnosed the need before meeting that need. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period. Whatever the child needed, they got it. Whenever mothers and children under age 6 were out and about in public, mom wrapped up her young child in swaddling blankets, with the swaddling blankets - and the child with them - being tucked underneath the loose-fitting, revealing dress worn by mothers that resembled an apron. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the context of the family home. This birth nudity setup helped facilitate easy skin-on-skin warmth and sustenance, with children experiencing the rays of skin-on-skin contact merely when they were picked up. 

Fathers were a secondary attachment figure to children, with the primary attachment being mothers. Fathers disciplined their children by way of catching children being good, backing up their Christian example with praise and encouragement. Nowhere in the biblical context was "hand-me-down-the-slate" gaslighting lawful. Instead, the father praised and encouraged children when children were caught being good. The fathers did nurture children, but in a teaching way.

When children in the Early Church grew up, they cared for their parents as they aged. This care of elders was a thank-you for being loving parents when children were younger. However, if parents were abusive, children had the right to shun their abusive parents. 

Respect in parenting should be earned, not handed out for free by children on a silver platter. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing just for being parents. Not even respect. Not even affection. Not even forgiveness. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. 

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

Righteous pampering: Why parents are to pamper and baby their children

Many parents don't even want to be seen as pampering children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. However, the fact of the matter is that parents should pamper and baby their children, not just some of the time, but all of the time.

Righteous pampering is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely on 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents.

Good works is defined here as doing good things for children, meeting a child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his tine as deacon.

Righteous pampering refers to a certain specific form of pampering and babying children, using the context as a guidepost. For the first 6 years of childhood, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever mom went, so did her child. For the first 2 years of childhood, children were constantly held by mom, either in her loving arms, or on her back in a papoose bag when her hands were full. Between ages 2-6, children ranged next to mothers, seemingly attached to mothers at the hip, not allowing mothers outside of their line of sight, morbidly fearing that mothers would "go away and never come back". Whenever children cried, mothers cooed at their children before picking up the child, and from there, she diagnosed the need before meeting that need. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk, Maybe the child needed mom, period. Whatever the child needed, they got it.

Come nightfall, children co-slept next to their mothers in skin-on-skin format. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the context of the family home. This birth nudity setup helped facilitate easy skin-on-skin sustaining warmth with parents, with children experiencing rays of skin-on-skin contact merely even for being picked up. 

Children past age 6 played freely outside, naked. Children growing up in the Early Church engaged in wet and messy play, venturing farther and farther from home, exploring the terrain, having mud battles in the process. However, children first had to check in with mom, and tell her where they were going. Come evening, children were called by name - one by one - and were treated with a warm, homecooked meal from mom, after mom cleaned up the mud off of the child with a handrag. When older children weren't playing, they accompanied their mothers when running errands, and were given free spending money, with this teaching children the value of money once funds ran out. Older children alternated between closeness with mom and free play with other children in the neighborhood, with this intermittent closeness happening less and less frequently as children got older.

Children under age 6 were very much protected, in a sheltered way. Even when out and about, young children under age 6 were wrapped up in swaddling blankets next to the bosom of mothers. Children under age 6 are too young to appreciate the dangers outside, which included venomous snakes and scorpions, with there being no antivenom then. Even today, there exists dangers for children outside, namely busy streets and would-be kidnappers. 

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

Honor parents: Understanding the Fifth Commandment in context

Many parents feel entitled to honor from their children. This is a common attitude towards children on the part of parents. However, the fact of the matter is that the Fifth Commandment means care for your parents as they age.

The Fifth Commandment is stated 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 does not prohibit a child for speaking against their parents. Instead, this commandment simply means that children should ideally care for their parents as they age. However, if your parents abuse you in any way, you have the right to shun your parents. 

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 submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works is defined here as doing good things for children, meeting the child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46; 1Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers her to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon

The Fifth Commandment does not give parents the right to insist on respect, or to punish children for disrespect. Instead, the Fifth Commandment simply prescribes that children take care of their parents as they age. This care for aging parents can be seen as a thank-you to parents for all the loving memories made. However, when parents were abusive, children ad the right to shun their parents. 

Children growing up in the Early Church were cooperative with parents in an affectionate way. Attachment parenting is what was done by Christian parents in the Early Church. When you bring up a child in a securely attached home, they want to please you, and make your day. Expect first children doing chores around the house, just to please mom and dad. This secure attachment prepares children for caring for their parents as they age, as thanksgiving for being brought up in a securely attached home.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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 nightf forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Father's day: The Christian duties of fathers

It is Father's Day. Most people focus on honoring their fathers on this very day. Hrowever, the fact of the matter is that fatherhood is a job. Being a father should be a thankless job. There exists certain specific duties afforded to fathers, namely disciplining children the right way.

God's Word states in Ephesians 6:4 KJV:

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 "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but limited to the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon. 

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers here to nurturing of a specific type, namely catching your child being good. In the Early Church, children were given praise and encouragement from fathers. The idea is to catch your children in the act of being good, and then praise them in order to encourage more of the same behavior. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to religious instruction that was self-directed in nature. Whenever children were caught in the act of reading the Bible, they were praised and encouraged for exploring the Bible. This setup of catching a child being good is a Hebraic tradition found not only in the biblical context, but also in the modern Jewish faith, with all 88 books of the Bible being written by Jews. Even in ancient times, no Jew worth mentioning ever advocated punishing children.

Fathers in biblical times had a sexual attachment towards his daughter especially. However, unlike in other ancient cultures, fathers did not sexually correct their children, or do the "hand-me-down-the-slate" form  of gaslighting. Instead, fathers in the Early Church masturbated to sexual thoughts of their children. The word denoting fornication is πορνεία (Lattin: porneia) and refers to anything outside proper channels, as understood in context. The only sexual behavior acceptable then was sexual relations within the context of a Christian marriage. Masturbation was seen as a purification ritual then, meaning a means to flee fornication through righteous re-channeling. The daughter usually was attracted to her father as well, meaning the attraction was mutually unrequited. When daughters caught the glimpse of her father, she felt good about her body image.

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

Righteous submission: How to love your child (the right way)

Many parents think that punishment is a form of love for a child. This is a common attitude on the part of parents. I myself was punished by my parents "out of love", meaning the statement "it hurts me more than it hurts you". However, the Bible calls for loving children in the right way. Punishing a child at all is not love, but instead is hatred.

God's Law reads in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV:

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked; thinketh no evil. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophesies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

The Greek root word translated "charity" is αγαπαο (Latin agapao) and refers in the context of parenting to not just showing your child grace, but instead full and dutiful submission to children. This submission came in the form of good works. Good works refers here to doing good things for a child, meeting the child's every need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. 

Righteous submission is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for their children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works here refers to doing good works for children, meeting the child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including. but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings  Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

Punishment is no way to love a child. I myself was punished by way of a disciplinary spanking "out of love". However, there was nothing loving about being punished. The best way to love your child is through Christian Agape love, meaning full and dutiful submission towards children. That gravy train can start out with the parents rejecting their so-called "right" to punish under state law. 

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

Expanding child abuse definitions: Why the Bible calls for more laws protecting children

Many parents think that child abuse is a modern concept. Most American parents oppose any expansion of the child abuse definitions. However, there is a biblical way of defining child abuse properly. Child abuse is defined in the Bible as anything perceived by the child victim as abuse. 

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement consists of parents being sorely disappointed when their children don't give them what they feel that they deserve. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing from children just for existing. Any parent anger directed towards a child was understood then as parental entitlement. When this sense of entitlement in parents was perceived by the child as offensive or damaging, it was deemed child abuse. See also 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 here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other 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. The parents who punished their children were initially 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 secular writings. Paul here may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

The Greek root word translated "they be discouraged" is αθυμέω (Latin: athumeo) and refers here to long-term damages, namely trauma. The ancients had an understanding of trauma. Whenever a child grew up to be atheist, it was seen as a shame on the parents. Atheists did exist then, but they were seen as victims of religious child abuse, meaning not simply ingrates rebelling against God. 

The enforcement of church law happened by way of pro-social rumor. Whenever a child turned atheist, and shunned their parents, word spread far and wide that a child was abused. When word of the child being abused reached the council, 3 elders decided the fate of the parents. After being handed a guilty verdict, the child was given a choice - go with parents or go with pedophiles. The child usually right with the pedophile, gritting her teeth while standing with the pedophile. When the child was afraid of the pedophile, the shame then fell onto the pedophile. Pedophiles were simply foster parents then, and in the Early Church, they were not allowed to have sexual relations with their child charges, meaning the closest the pedophile could get to the child is through lactating, thereby nursing a battered child to health. 

The Bible is an anti-spanking document. The writers of all 88 of the books of the Bible were Jews, and no Jew worth mentioning ever has endorsed punishing a child in any way. Even King Solomon recommended attachment parenting for the little ones. What King Solomon meant by the rod was the 40 minus 1 lashes, administered in a courtroom as a final warning before putting an offender to death. Christ's work on the cross led to an end the harsh punishments of the Old Testament. 

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

Time-in: Why mammary closeness is the biblical way of doing time-in

Many parents today punish their children, even for the smallest of infractions. The abuse pattern in America usually comes the same way - time-out other false imprisonment techniques, alongside the occasional disciplinary spanking done "out of love". The main alternative to abusing your child is time-in. Time-in can come in many forms. But, the one biblical way of doing time-in is mammary closeness.

Mammary closeness is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This highlighted word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to perform good works for children, with children resting securely in the good works of parents. Good works refers here to doing good things for children, namely meeting the child's every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46, 1 Cor. 13:4-8.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers here to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or other controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon. 

Time-in has many applications. Some parents kneel down to their child's level. Some parents send their children to a "calming corner". However, the biblical way of doing time-in is mammary closeness. When children growing up in the Early Church cried, mothers cooed at children before picking the child up. From there, she diagnosed the need before meeting it. The first place mothers looked for in terms of needs was mammary closeness, meaning children were held close to the bosom of mothers, especially for the first 6 years of childhood. This mammary closeness usually came in skin-on-skin format.

Mammary closeness and breastfeeding go hand in hand. Milk-dependent children always latch onto the teat of mothers. Mothers breastfed whenever they were summoned to by their child, including in public. Children are ready for solid foods once they refuse the teat of mothers. This refusal usually happened at around age 2. However, some breastfeeding didn't end until age 6 or even beyond. Children usually lose their baby teeth around age 6 because that is when some children stop latching onto the teat of mothers. 

The female breasts are not intended primarily for men to ogle. Instead, a woman's breast was designed by God to nurture children. The cleavage of mothers is designed to cushion the head of a crying child. The nipples of the mother are there to nourish children. Try mammary closeness. Once you give your child skin-on-skin mammary closeness, you might just regret doing it sooner. 

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