Can a pedophile be a gentle parent?

Pedophile hatred is a widespread prejudice, especially in more conservative communities. It can be framed using many different frameworks, with the disability rights framework. Mental health rights is a form of disability rights advocacy that has two camps, responsible and irresponsible. Pedophiles are a responsible  population of mental health clients, making up only 1-2% of men in North America, with 3 out of 4 pedophiles not sexually abusing children, according to research from the Canadian Centres for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

What is pedophilia? We at pro-pedophile at children's rights define pedophilia as a parental thread motivated by sexual aggression and desire, encased in an encasement full of information guiding the direction of the parental thread. This thread has a primary sexual preference for children under the age of 14. Oftentimes, this extension cord is further encased in trauma, meaning baggage that may lead to the pedophile dissociating from the trauma - dropping the full luggage at the airport terminal - and "running away" from a child sexually. It is a specific type of sexual abuse, usually associated with autism in the perpetrator and possibly the victim, and is a surface level offense, usually in the form of sexual harassment, and linked to poor social skills in the sexually entitled adult.

Gentle parenting conditioning can be understood as admitting one's original sin, meaning the capacity to harm a child in any way, including also with physical aggression, and submitting to God through one's child. It is turning parental aggressive instincts inward, in a sheltering way towards children. This involves convicting the parent with new information, and deconstructing the old, so, in the case of pedophiles, they understand the harm of child abuse. Most already do at a level greater than most adults.

A pedophile survives while not abusing children by turning the electrodes inward, as a way to reel in the extension cord. Pedophilia, at its core, is a thought disorder, not a behavioral disorder. The idea is to keep such thoughts in a pocket, in the form of pro-social fantasy, and allow for automatic sexual thoughts about children to just float on by. That's what I do. Stuff fantasy in a pocket, and use a meterstick to avoid any undeserving wants in relation to children, which are all wants that the child or their development do not allow. I am entitled to nothing from children, especially sexual favors from them.

I myself am a former abuser of children, meaning sexual harassment in "company" format. It was inserting yourself in a child's life, and then wearing out your welcome. The intent was to see the child as a "girlfriend" and the first step was "asking her out", and then be a pest against her until she sends you away. It is intent to demand attention leading to the annoyance and/or alarm of the child victim, with said reaction being the abuse involved. Every single adult has abused a child at least on my level, but few will admit it, and few will work on their entitled attitudes towards children. 

We've earned our rights, not abusing or molesting children, so where is the therapist?

Parent abuse: Why parent abuse is legal under biblical law (but abuse of parents isn't)

Is abusing parents a violation of the Ten Commandments and the Bible. Most assume this is the case, but the fact of the matter is that parent abuse is legal under biblical law. Parent abuse isn't really abuse, but a form of reverse gaslighting.

I myself have been rumored to be a domestic abuser of parents. Such exists - the sweet elderly woman who is anti-spanking being beaten by her son. She apologized, but nonetheless, he lives with her, mooches off her rent, and beats her up, perhaps living off the taxpayer's dime. Or, simply refusing to care for aging parents. My theology does allow for the pro-social abuse of a parent, or parent abuse in shorthand. My religious beliefs oppose any physical force against my mother as I am individually convicted, as I honor my father and mother, because they loved and honored me first, namely my mother, with my father reforming his ways while I was in my mid-teens.

The parent protection laws were a set of laws under the Mosaic system of jurisprudence that protected parents from harm. The Law of Moses was countercultural, as the culture then was based off of the concept of reverent rebellion, meaning the Israelites were a free-thinking people with the government intervening rarely, and in a swift manner. In this case, elder abuse against parents was rampant, as reporting it was highly stigmatizing, with their culture blaming the victim due to assuming "he must have learned those traits somewhere". The parent protection laws called for the death of any stubborn and rebellious son, or else offenses such as cursing or striking a parent. Striking a child was also outlawed, but there was no problem on that front - it didn't happen. Tradition and assault and battery laws forbade any physical punishment of children.

The parent protection laws, as understood in the time of Moses, were abolished under Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, showing your true self to them, owing nothing to parents in return. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to the offenses, meaning torts and damages rooted in the Eighth Commandment against theft, referring to stealing in all angles and forms, and summed up in the New Testament by "lift up" words such as this as the slightest of personal slights imposed on a child. The Apostle Paul was warning Christian fathers of Greek descent - where corporal punishment was the norm - that being harsh on one's child can lead to rebellion, by way of discouraging or offending them, because no child wants to listen to a tyrant.

Pro-social punching bag is a gentle parenting application of the Bible, meaning you, as a parent, are deserving of nothing from your child, and this includes any right not to be attacked by your child for abusing them. Such rights were re-afforded to the child after the death and resurrection of Christ, as Paul clearly intended for this command to repeal the parent protection laws. The idea is that a parent has to to take the wrath of their child, trusting that they have a reason for acting up, and trying to diagnose the reason for the upset. 

With adult children living at home, they are treated the same as a minor child in the providing custody of their parents, as the Greek root word translated "children" is τέκνον (Latin: teknon) and refers to a dependent state, much like believers are dependent on Christ for care. The idea is to batter parents, but not assault them. When you have left a mark on a parent, you have gone too far, as that is assault in most states. 

Parent abuse is the opposite side of the term pro-social rebellion, and the term that abused children can use to usher entitlement out of their parents, and usually involves pro-social harassment. The pro-social harasser of parents should be positioned in a way that allows for ready exit of the parent from the exchange, in which charges may or may not be pressed depending on how entitled, meaning how abrupt, the egress from the victim is. The goal behind harassing parents in a pro-social manner is shutting down their protests and arguments so that you can explain a need of yours to them, or shut down abuse of theirs. Disproportionate force gaslighting in verbal format often really gets their attention. The goal of abuse is not to harm, even if stated as such, but to convict the parent, in burning, martyrdom fashion. When parents apologize, and the righteous judge has every reason to believe that the apology is genuine, everything must stop, and beyond that point, any persecution of parents becomes abuse of parents and not parent abuse.

Let the parents burn! I know where my mother is going - nowhere but "up". I have no problems with her generally, and when we argue, we make amends afterwards. I tend to interrogate her sometimes when I feel not listened to, which is a personal slight by my standards, whereas I let go most little things that might annoy me. There are so many parents out there not like her who are entitled. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

The Fifth Commandment and surrender to parents (as understood in the Bible)

American parents want their children to be compliant and obedient as a norm. We have very few parenting norms in this country, and much parenting pluralism, which is a wistful parental rights ideal. "Mosaic of parents", however, means something very different to those of us abused by parents.

The Fifth Commandment is repeated many times in the Bible, including in Ephesians 6:1-3 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this right. Honor thy father and mother, as this is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live upon the earth.

The Greek root word translated "obey" sheds light on the entire meaning of this passage, and is denoted by the Greek root word υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in relation to parents, being able to tell parents anything without fear of punishment, owing nothing to parents in return. 

This is a commandment for parents to take note of, not so much children, as respect is earned from children, and adults must shut up, and chasten up themselves in relation to a child. What is being referred to here is secure attachment to children, meaning a form of closeness prompted by parents eliminating ways for children to be afraid of them, leading to trust and cooperation from children.

Children do not have to love their parents, as true Christian love for a child is an action, and one of service to the child. Children are simply to rest in the shelter and grace of parents, having no worries about anything, with the parents worrying about everything, and the child simply is allowed to be a child, as they define it. Children should trust their parents, and this trust should appear, especially for very young children, as closeness, particularly to mothers, but also to fathers in a more distant way. 

Corporal punishment and any other form of punishment or harsh treatment was against church ordinances in the 1st Century. It says in Colossians 3:21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stir up" and one of the Greek words that point to the offenses in the context, meaning torts and damages, which included assault and battery in the Old Testament, and is summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by the child, stemming from willful or negligent entitlement. Any sort of control or demanding behavior and attitudes from adults, including any sexually entitled behavior or attitudes, that lead to the child feeling offended or upset, is abuse. 

Children have a right to stand up to parents, and even offer parenting advice. This ensures that they will comply and be cooperative when there is an exigent need for said cooperation. Children listen to parents that listen to them. True surrender to parents is like a mirror, meaning the parent's calm, centered attitudes reflect in the child's attitudes, as is the parents kindness and compassion likewise.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God, and will be tormented in eternal Hell-fire! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

 

Setting limits: How to set limits without punishment in biblical parenting

Most all parents, apart from the most permissive, believe in setting limits with children. The problem is what it is conflated with - punishment. The chastening and admonition of the Lord is often associated with harsh punishment. However, it means something else, something not punitive at all, when the Bible is understood in context.

It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and literally translates to "listen under" to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, being able to confide into parents about anything, including issues that most people wouldn't understand, owing nothing in relation to parents, but listening nonetheless due to how good and kind your parents are. The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, meaning the parent (not the child) being chastened up by self-discipline and self-control, by way of self-behaviorism, punishing oneself for harming one's child by reminder of consequences, and reward by a pat on the back when one sees progress in themselves as a parent. This controlled and disciplined attitude is to be modeled to children, that allows for a child's existing immature upset to be reassured and validated by the parent, like a sounding board. This word also refers to religious instruction, in which case is taught by way of Socratic reasoning, meaning questions in both directions. 

The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the admonition of the Lord, meaning setting limits and boundaries with a child. This means saying "no" or stating its various variants, meaning perhaps the specific word "no" said all the time is dehumanizing, and something you'd save for a dog. The word "no" should be used rarely, when applying these principles appropriately, and the variants of the word rarely as well, as children cannot be expected to behave on a mature level like adults. So leave a lot go and supervise so that they don't hurt themselves, or perhaps giving older children cell phones as a means of remote supervision when out and about. This is balanced out by the Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to the offenses, meaning torts and damages under Jewish law, which could include assault and battery in the Old Testament Law. This is summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child victim

The idea behind having disciplined children isn't to be strict with them, but lovingly encourage them to be strict with themselves. This starts with you being strict with yourself in relation to children, encouraging them and guiding them to follow your example. The example of the level of self-discipline a parent should have is in Hebrews 12:5-8 KJV:

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as unto children, My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

What child was never disciplined? Maybe not properly, when following this text, which is considered a rod verse by many, but in fact does not advocate corporal punishment of children, but mentions judicial corporal punishment under the Law as figurative for accountability, as the rod of correction - a switch applied as 40 minus 1 stripes applied to the back of a convicted capital offender - was seen otherwise as symbolic of the rare but powerful force of the Law, and in this context refers to applying the Law to oneself, guided by God. The Greek root word translated "scourge" is μαστγόω and literally translates to a whipping. However, the Early Church did not have corporal or capital punishment anywhere in their legal framework for adults, and children were exempt from any legal scrutiny, instead expected to be taught the Law. The Greek root word translated "chastening" is παίδεία, meaning the same as in Eph. 6:4, which is co-regulation in relation to children, by regulating one's own emotions in an exemplary teaching manner, while holding space to listen to the emotion of one's child. The chastening of the Lord is modeling and teaching discipline, but was understood then as being done without punishment, and by forming a secure bond and attachment to the father so that the son could trust instruction. Today, this same principle applies to both sexes, meaning children tend to act a lot like their parents, so if you chasten yourself up to be the type to be quiet and disciplined in your emotions, your child will follow suit, albeit not right away. However, you will be surprised when they have better emotional regulation than their peers.

Ancient Hebrew culture was an attachment parenting society, meaning punishment was actually illegal for a child, and was a slight against the child and the co-parent as co-plaintiffs in court. Attachment parenting is very misunderstood, and has more to do with the disciplined attitude of the parent in relation to their child, than any sort of "necessary closeness". Closeness is just what happened with Hebrew parents, with children up to age 3 being regarded and treated as infants. Children remained close to mother until later. Punishment was not a norm of ancient Hebrew society, but their Greco-Roman adversaries, and this infiltrated the Christian church with the Greek and Roman Christian newcomers. The Apostle Paul, in both Eph. 6:4 and Col. 3:21, was warning the Greek fathers especially of the harm of harsh treatment such as punishment towards children. Parenting in ancient Jewish culture was seen as like looking in a mirror, meaning whatever attitudes you espouse to or around your child is how your child behaves, looking straight back at you. That is why the laws against stubborn and rebellious sons under the Old Testament legal system were never carried out - parents would have flagged themselves as abusers just for reporting it, as you weren't executed then just for talking back. It would have to be a long paper trail of documented abusive, self-destructive, and delinquent behaviors, and he would have to be a legal adult at the time. Most parents then just let their child be a prodigal son, and waited for them to come back, praying for their adult son's safety.

I myself am a permissive parent, and so I need to learn how to set limits myself. I just can't say no, in my old self as a past-tense parent, meaning I can't tell them no. I have to be their "yes" man and be dragged along like a ragdoll, and I enjoy it. I have to learn to be more assertive with children, but in order to do that, you have to see them as assertive to you, meaning not appeasing them for them to like you...Gentle, non-violent parenting is NOT permissive. I've been there, meaning I was a permissive parent, so I'd know.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive limits will BURN! Let them suffer, and let them be tormented in the lake of fire and brimstone, suffering the second death! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

What is love for your child?

Many people may notice the lack of the use of the word "love" in my posts. Many gentle parenting websites do often use the word, as they are more progressive in theological/ideological orientation. Other pages, like mine, rarely ever use that word. Why? It should be implied. It is a verb, not an impulse of affection.

It says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV:

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; not vaunteth itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked; rejoice not in inequity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all thing, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether they be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

The Greek root word translated "charity" refers to Christian love for one's child, and is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to a certain form of submission for one's child, namely out of sacrifice, just as Christ sacrificed for His children, giving Himself up while expecting nothing in return, and parents accordingly. Parenting isn't an position of authority over children, but is a position of servitude towards children, with parents beholden to the child and her every need. Love is a verb, an action, meaning good will that leads to good deeds towards a child, being rewarded by seeing the child have her every vulnerable need met, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things, as is well-pleasing unto the Lord. Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace, with the child being able to confide anything into parents, including issues that most people wouldn't understand, owing nothing in return to parents. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and literally translates to "stir up", and is one of the Greek words in the New Testament referring to the offenses, meaning torts and damages under the Mosaic Law, which are summed up for gentile believers in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by the child. In this case, you don't love your child, and never did. Then, once you make amends with your child, you always did love them from the very beginning, as God foreknew that reconciliation.

Punishment of children was illegal under Jewish law in both the Old and New Testaments, and was considered kidnapping (note "in his hand" in Exod. 21:16 - this meant any sort of blackmail to the Early Christians), and was a capital offense in the Old Testament. The Early Church abolished capital punishment, but shunned child abusers of all types who provoked children to anger. The Apostle Paul, in vs. 21, is warning certain Greek fathers about the use of punitive tactics, saying that whatever you do to your child in that context is what the child will mirror back to the parent. Parenting in the ancient Hebrew culture was attachment-based, meaning young children remained close to their parents until late in childhood, with co-sleeping being the norm in that culture. Punishment of any kind of a child was not the Jewish norm then, as punishment could only be imposed within a judicial setting, whereas children were protected by a defense of infancy. The teaching of "biblical spanking" stems not from the Hebraic context, but from idolatrous and pagan Greco-Roman legal principles such as patria potestas that lead to the legal construct of "reasonable chastisement" in the English common law. 

The spanking teaching is Catholic encroachment in terms of pro-spanking idolatry, in which case we need to purify God's Church by purging it of the evil that is parental entitlement. All child abuse stems from parental entitlement, in some way, in some form.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God, and will be tormented for ever and ever in the lake of fire and brimstone! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

        

Understanding adult sexual entitlement and adult fornication

 Many parents and adults have a sexual entitlement problem with their child or a child, and it is more than you would think. About 1-2% of men are pedophiles, and about 20% of men have secondary attractions to younger children. What is adult sexual entitlement/fornication? Why are thoughts not a moral crime under biblical law?

The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament is πλεονέκτης and is translated as "covetous" in many verses, including 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

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

The fact of the matter is that all sin must be open to judge, in some way, in some form. Sin, in divine court. has an offender and a plaintiff, with the plaintiff being the offended by a certain conduct or course of conduct. Mere thought crimes cannot be considered moral crimes, since they cannot be proven in court.

Entitlement is wanting something to the point of seeking to impose said wants onto a child, leading to abuse. Fornication refers to when the sexual entitlement is perceived by the child through sensory gaslighting. 1 Corinthians 5:11 KJV:

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he who committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and is the one moral crime that offends God, even if it doesn't offend its target, as God hates the misuse of sexual venom, meaning it is part of the duties of both husband and wife as a marriage. Adult sexual entitlement is sexually entitlement directed towards a child, as defended by such in one's actions or attitudes towards children, and when this entitlement is perceived by children in a way that stimulates fear and/or enjoyment, it is fornication, and if the adult doesn't apologize, they are the lowest of sinners in the lake of fire that is Hell. Simply looking, for example, is not sin, if the child doesn't notice or just brushes you off. It becomes the moral crime of antisocial "leer" when she looks back in an angry and/or frightened way. A child can claim anything that is sexually motivated from an adult as sexual abuse under Divine Codified Jurisprudence.

Simply sexual fantasy that is shared nowhere is not a moral crime. because it isn't directed towards a child, and even if it was directed towards a child, it could not be proven in court readily at that level. Lust alone is not a sin, with it saying in Colossians 3:5-6 KJV:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil conscupience, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In which ye walked some time, when ye lived in them.

The Greek root word translated "inordinate affections" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and involves sexual entitlement, meaning wanting sexual relations with a child to the point of seeking it out, leading to fornication. This can be understood by rules of intent, meaning guilty intent (mens rea) leading to/guided by guilty action (actus reus). Entitlement proper is another layer, regarding chosen apology or refused apology. Basically, this would be approaching a child in a public place, asking inappropriate questions, with intent to "get somewhere", in which case the line of intent leads to proposed sexual activity, and the child should have the right to stop the situation right there, and possibly call the authorities. The Greek word mentioned refers to sexual entitlement and yearnings that can go nowhere, and are driven in nature, as opposed to simply an isolated fantasy or afterthought. It is a sexually demanding and channeled attitude towards a child, usually a sexual crush on a child that can go nowhere morally, and must be restrained at all costs.

"Inordinate affections" does not refer to pedophilia as a whole, but to when the intensity of the desires puts a child's life or welfare at risk. No sexual preference is banned under this biblical statute, but acting on pathological sexual preferences, meaning those that have no consensual outlet with another person, or are directed towards animals, is sin, and those who commit acts of sexual sin are the lowest among mankind, and the lowest in Hell, when they don't repent. Being born anyway is not a moral crime, as there is only one spiritual disease, entitlement, in which case all human beings struggle with such a spiritual affliction. Pedophilia is just one struggle of many.

The depraved and sexually entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through fornication will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let the parent/adult fornicators BURN! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Religious entitlement in parenting - what is it?

Most parents abuse children in this country, with 94% of parents spanking and physically battering children, with about 1/3 of cases possibly crossing into illegal territory. Most child abuse today, if not all, is motivated by religion to some degree. My parents never espoused a religious excuse for their punitive authoritative parents, but their methods were religious in historical origin, and extended family members who were more religious made religious excuses. My parents weren't very religious, but believed in God and respected the Bible to varying degrees, meaning the Bible summed up to treat others with respect and serve the community in the public service careers that they held. 

I never experienced direct religious child abuse, meaning religious entitlement imposed on children. My parents simply have encouraged my religious beliefs, and told me interesting biblical facts. My late father went to Catholic school, and there you get a very clear understanding of the Bible and its context, meaning a base understanding to branch out in spiritual growth. Pushing one's religion on a child is sin, meaning the moral crime of religious entitlement leading to religious child abuse.

It says in Exodus 20:17 KJV:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

The Greek root word translated "covet" is למחוד (Latin: lachmod) and refers to parental entitlement, cross-referenced by the New Testament by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés). Entitlement here refers to religious entitlement, meaning the attitude of "I am the parent" leading to wanting a child to believe the same way you do, to the point of seeking to impose said views onto a child, leading to theft/abuse. It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV: 

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

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to the chastening of the Lord, meaning discipline and self-control for parents in a way that strikes terror into the hearts of parents, and chastens them up to the be the best parents they can be, in the form of pro-social self-behaviorism, meaning punishing oneself for transgressions against one's child, then rewarding oneself for growth as a parent, modeling this attitude of self-discipline to children, with children being lovingly encouraged to be strict with themselves instead of parents being strict with them. Much of this is exemplary teaching and instruction, but verbal instruction as to biblical law and teaching is acceptable if the child wants it. It is to be offered, not forced in a way that is mixed in with punishment. The Greek root word "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: noutheia) refers to the admonition of the Lord, and refers to God's Loving Reproof, meaning simply stating non-binding limits and boundaries, namely the word "no" and its various variants, backed up by a secure attachment relationship with a child, meaning secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, owing nothing in return to parents, as denoted by the Greek root word υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to "listening under" parents, only in the Hebrew linguistic context, the parent would be seen as slightly smaller than the child, with the parent sacrificing for their child, just as Christ sacrificed for His child, giving Himself up for the good of His children accordingly. Parents are to sacrifice themselves, not their children, in the course of bringing up their children, meaning no punishment or control at all. The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and literally translates to "exasperate" and one of the Greek words in the New Testament that refers to the offenses under the Eighth Commandment, and is summed up in the New Testament as the slightest of personal slights perceived by a child. This can include coercive "religion", meaning conflating punishment with religious instruction.

Religious entitlement isn't simply having religious needs, as we all need to believe in something. Even a mentally healthy atheist believes in something, and often finds themselves conforming to some degree with the Judaeo-Christian values that this country was founded on, meaning do not murder, do not steal, do not rape or commit adultery. Religious entitlement isn't wanting your child to believe like you. It is when that want leads to the first steps to seek to impose religion on a child, meaning imposed want onto the child. This can include any physical and/or mental punishment paired with religious instruction, or any terrorizing of a child with images of Hell before they are ready, such as in the teen years, meaning not before then ever. 

I am not entitled to a child believing the way I do, nor do I demand anyone here buy into the religious aspects of my posts. A child, in my home, would have religious instruction as a default option that they would have the right to opt out of at any time. If my child suddenly became atheist, I'd wonder why, since most children follow their parents on their belief systems. It could be that the pastor or some other person known to the family raped or sexually assaulted the child under the guise of religion.

The depraved parents who impose religious entitlement or abuse onto a child will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them languish in the lake of burning fire and brimstone prepared for Satan and his accomplices. Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
