Skin-on-skin co-snuggling: Time-in the biblical way

Many parents think that time-out is an acceptable form of disciplining a child as an alternative to spanking or corporal punishment. Many parents start using time-out, then figure out that even that doesn't work. The fact of the matter is that children don't need time-out. They need time-in. There are many versions of time-in, but the biblical version is the best.

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following them around as a gosling to a mother goose.

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. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of children.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve both their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Children went naked in biblical times for a specific reason - so that their mothers could easily snuggle them up and cuddle them up when they cried or were upset. Crying and upset children were held to the bosom of mothers while co-snuggling, in mammary closeness.

How can the abovementioned context be replicated by mothers? When children cry or become upset, disrobe yourself at least to the underwear level, or preferably to the nudity level. In the throes of the temper tantrum, invite the child to throw off the clothing, in an encouraging way. You may find that children find clothing burdensome. Then, snuggle up your child to your bosom. This should stop crying in 1-2 minutes, in which case, with an older child, you can talk about what was wrong, and work out a solution to the problem. Whenever possible, avoid the word "no", and seek to compromise with your child. But, always, hear out their tears when you have to say "no", and do so while co-snuggling with your upset child in skin-on-skin format. In public, this can be done by taking your child to the ladies' room and snuggling up to him/her, giving the upset child skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy with mother.

In biblical times, mothers were the primary caregivers of children, and were charged with the duty of reassuring children. Mothers were charged with duties of providing nourishment and sustenance because mothers physically are adept to providing sustenance due to having breasts, with breasts functioning primarily, in our evolutionary history, towards the motherly duty of providing nourishment and sustenance to children. Attractiveness to men is simply a secondary role that breasts serve, and men can wait until the mother stops nursing and cuddling with her children. This is why children will always prefer their mother - she has breasts to nurture them with, whereas us men lack that feature.

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

Respect: Why parents must earn their respect

Many parents think that they are entitled to respect from their children. These parents believe that they are deserving of respect just for being parents. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents want respect from their children, but think demanding respect from children in an entitled manner will achieve those means. The fact of the matter is that parents need to earn their respect from their children.

Christian attachment parenting was the traditional parenting in the Early Church. Christian attachment parenting is based on the concept of mutual submission, with parents bearing the burden of proof in all cases. It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children just as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the presence of their parents, following parents around like a gosling to a mother goose. 

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, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments and controlling demeanor towards a child. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside of the family home, otherwise going in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other in the nude, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Children went naked for a specific reason then - so that mothers could snuggle up and cuddle up their children when they were crying or upset. Fathers also formed a secure attachment with children once standing by and seeing them with their mothers. However, fathers often had a parent attraction to their children, usually the child of the opposite sex, usually daughters. Fathers purged those unrequited lusts by re-channeling them inwards through masturbatory fantasy. Daughters also fantasized about their fathers until puberty, as did sons about mothers until puberty. Masturbatory fantasy about children by fathers improved the relationship between father and child, or at least father and daughter.

Respect, in any home, is to be earned. Children owe you as a parent nothing in life, meaning a parent isn't entitled to respect just for being a parent. A parent has to earn their children's respect, and they do so properly using attachment parenting means. A parent is a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else. Not even respect. Not even praise. Not even forgiveness. Parents have no authority over their children, and are instead their bondservant, earning their lump sum once their children become fully independent. A parent is to demand nothing from their children, as God could take away their children at any time, and He sometimes does do just that. Respect for parents in biblical times was based on closeness to parents, not fear of punishment from parents.

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

Original sin: Why adults have a sinful nature

The doctrine of original sin is one of the most misunderstood and misused of Christian teachings. However, at the same time, original sin is the backbone of Christianity - without original sin, there would be no reason for a Christ. In parenting, most people think of children when they think of original sin. Children are clinically entitled, but they aren't legally entitled, as children are sacrosanct under God's Law. Children are still learning what sin is, and how to avoid sin. We as adults need to focus on our own sins, instead of pointing the finger at children.

It says in Romans 3:9-18 KJV:

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one: Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.

The Apostle Paul was writing this passage to the Roman Christians. The Roman Christians, then, were becoming very prideful and boastful in their Christian faith. They thought they were the righteous ones just for accepting Christ. Paul was convicting them of their original sin, which all mankind is guilty of. Today, this passage is a testament to how God feels about humanity. God hates all mankind, so much that He doesn't want us to even exist in relation to Him. By default, all of mankind is marked for deletion. Only a few of us - the elect - will be saved by our own good works towards God and neighbor. The rest will be punished by suffering the second death, which is the ever-burning lake of fire and brimstone. God hates mankind especially for the one-sided incursion on child-kind by adult-kind. We as adults are, in relation to children, depraved and decadent sinners deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else.

The core of our sin nature is entitlement, and the core of our entitlement is want. Parental entitlement is at the lowest level of our entitlement, and when you avoid that one, you end up avoiding all the others. The Greek root word denoting all kinds of entitlement, including parental entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement is defined as wanting anything from children, period. It is not good to want anything in life, including from children, but since we all want things from children as depraved and decadent adults, it is good to ask politely and appropriately, accepting when children can't or won't fill our requests. Want is at the very core of our sin nature, and wants from children are at the very core of our wants. If what you want from a child would lead to a temper tantrum if they did not follow your instructions, don't want it, and avoid that want at all costs.

What washes away all sin and entitlement? Christian love, of course! Christian love is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to, in the context of parenting, prioritizing children first, and yourself last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to children, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from a place of fearful conviction, where parents are convicted of being depraved and decadent sinners deserving of absolutely nothing from children or anyone else. This prompts the sinner/parent to pay due penance for their sin nature, and serve the every vulnerable need of their children. In return, children rest securely in the submission of parents, feeling safe and secure in their arms. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest in the presence of parents, following them around like goslings to a mother goose. The word "obey" in the New Testament, when applied to children, refers chiefly to a secure attachment, not fearful compliance based on fear of punishment.

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, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time.

Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing when outside the home, otherwise going in the nude in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child sleeping next to each other, and children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Mothers were so humbled by the presence of their child that they went completely naked just to please them, and to feed them with their teat for the first two years of their lives. This humility was because parents in biblical times believed that they were depraved and decadent sinners who were deserving of absolutely nothing from their children, and therefore that children were deserving of everything from them, especially nourishment and sustenance. Attachment parenting was the traditional way of raising children in the Early Christian church communities.

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

Religious child abuse of pedophilic children: Understanding pedophile hysteria from its source

Many people today are on the side of pedophiles. However, most supporters of pedophiles side mainly with sex offenders and other abusers. Most people do not understand what pedophile hysteria is. Many of us in the pro-pedophile community talk about it, but nobody seems to know what it is. The fact of the matter is that pedophile hysteria is a form of religious child abuse, with the pedophiles who are abused and oppressed the most still being children themselves.

What is pedophilia? It is a myth that most pedophiles are narcissists. Most pedophiles have a form of autism where the age-oriented sexual preferences of the individual correspond with their developmental level. Usually, such individuals have an autistic specialty in children, meaning they focus heavily on issues surrounding child care and children's rights. Usually, the pedophile is more socially apt around children, and only wants children as friends. Otherwise, most pedophiles don't want adults as friends, and socially isolate themselves. Pedophilic children are the most abused and oppressed of pedophiles. The first sign of a pedophile in a child is when the child defends younger siblings or other younger family members against parental admonition by way of acting like a defense attorney. In the eyes of the pedophile, children can do no wrong, and even if they do something wrong, they are absolved. 

Pedophile hysteria does not come from a single entity, with the children's rights community merely endorsing the already existing prejudice for a couple of decades, with child advocates and trauma survivors feigning a prejudice. The actual prejudice comes from false and abusive doctrine concerning masturbation. One of the Bible passages commonly used to scare pedophilic children into not masturbating to fantasies of children is Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, including sexual desire towards children. This word refers to, in the context of pedophilia, adult sexual entitlement, which is defined as, officially speaking, sexual wants, to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child. Masturbation to thoughts of children was, in fact, a religious requirement that kept adult men in particular from sexually assaulting or raping children. It was a form of re-channeling unrequited lusts inwards.

How did the prejudicial hysteria against pedophiles start? Every pedophile was once a child. Most pedophiles, in their childhood, have endured sexual shaming abuse as a form of child sexual abuse. Quite a few pedophiles were victimized as children with corrective rape, with hope that rape from an adult would "cure" the disorder. Many pedophiles were told to pray away their disorder. Most pedophiles have a religious trauma from abusive religious parents, and since they are pedophiles themselves, they can't blame pedophiles, so they blame either parents, Christians, or both. Most pedophiles are not religious people, but are atheists or agnostics of the jaded type. Pedophilic trauma is a very dark trauma. As a pedophile survivor myself, I can tell you that my trauma is like staring down into a dark abyss, which I have submerged using "innocent until proven guilty" methods. Thankfully, none of the abuse I endured was because I was a pedophile. The vast majority of pedophiles weren't so lucky, and have to hide their secret even from their parents, who likely already know and hold a grudge against them. 

"Sexual shaming" trauma is enough to make anyone angry at the world, and when done in the name of false religious teaching, enough to make anyone hate religion. I never experienced any of that sexual shaming as a child, as my pro-parent liberal parents were the type to lean on concerning sexual issues. My parents' mistake was punishing me for defiance unrelated to pedophilia, and then, since I was a pedophile, I never forgot about my lawful trauma, and never will fully. I hate all parents, and all adults, and hate that they blame me when they are the ones doing the abusing, with the secular law covering for them. The secular law burned me, while God's Law casts a dominion over my parents, and they sure have heeded the warning. I myself have a "parental rights" trauma, meaning I hate the fact that parents and adults even have rights in relation to children, and so I don't protect my own parental rights.

If your child discloses to you that they are a pedophile, what should you do? All they need is someone to talk to, and usually, they need that safe person to talk to only for a little bit, before processing everything and moving on with their life. Also, allow your child space to masturbate. Simply check the web history to see what images they used on the Internet. Pro-social misuse is using images not intended as pornography for that purpose. If they do that, that is a good sign, and their image use should stay along that pattern. If it is intended as pornography, it should be blocked. Pedophilia is a self-healing disorder, with an optimal prognosis. Most pedophiles, contrary to media hysteria, are victims of crime and abuse, not perpetrators. There is no need to be overly sensitive to pedophiles. Most pedophiles are not narcissists with an honor code, but instead have a form of immature autism where they need to be treated with kid gloves. That is the only way people are going to accept pedophiles - as big kids.

I myself have people to talk to regarding my pedophilia, with the first and foremost person being my mother. I can tell my mother anything about this disorder of mine, and so I have it good in that regard. Most pedophiles have nobody to talk to, not even their parents. Many times, parents know, and try to stomp all over the fantasies about children. My parents were in denial, especially my mother, but now she believes it, and understands the difference between pedophile and child sexual predator. But, she doesn't feel safe telling anyone about the difference, and so I have to, isolated in that regard. At least all these people that I told know and understand.

Most people who truly hate pedophiles are also sexual abusers of children. Child predators groom on two sides of their profile, namely one side for children, and the other side for pedophiles. Some sexual abusers, due to the nature of their entitlement, get into positions of power, usually of a policing nature, and that's how the prejudicial hysteria began. Most actual pedophile hatred isn't simply saying the wrong thing, but instead a form of grooming that projects an abuser onto an easy target, as pedophiles replicate their abuser with their profile. 

Trauma survivors and their allies simply feign a prejudice, and that feigned prejudice could go away at any time once the right pedophile is found to educate survivors as to where their abuse comes from -  sexual abuse happens at such a low level that it seems to survivors to come out of nowhere. Trauma survivors simply are feigning to reiterate a long-standing prejudice against pedophiles. I myself strive to educate survivors on who their abuser actually is - parents, and by extension, all adults. I seem to be making great headway.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who project their abuserhood onto pedophiles, and sexually abuse children, will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever punished in torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Christian attachment parenting: Why attachment parenting is commanded in the Bible

Many parents believe that the Bible commands them to punish their children. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most American parents believe strongly in punishing children. Very few parents believe in attachment parenting. However, the Bible, when understood in context, prescribes attachment parenting as a means of dealing with children. Christian attachment parenting is secure attachment that backs up a Judeo-Christian example.

The Greek root word denoting entitlement, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is defined as the slightest of unattainable want. It is not good to want anything in life, but since we all want something as depraved and decadent human beings, it is good to ask appropriately, and accept "no" for an answer. Entitlement is at the core of our sin nature, and want is at the core of our entitlement. We as fallen human beings have a depraved and decadent sin nature, and are deserving of absolutely nothing. If you want something that can lead to a temper tantrum upon hearing the word "no", don't want it, and avoid that want at all costs. Children are watching your every move as a parent, and thus parents should always impart a disciplined, non-entitled Christian example.

Christian attachment parenting is the component of a Christian parenting system that backs up a Christian example. Christian attachment parenting motivates the child to do the work to emulate the Christian example of their parents, by creating a safe place for children to do the work to be like their parents. Christian attachment parenting is based on the doctrine of mutual submission, with parents bearing the burden of proof in the relationship. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, with parent believers resting in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents were seen as extensions of Christ, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, with children following parents like goslings to a mother goose. The word "obey" in the King James Version, when translated into biblical Greek, refers to rest in parents due to secure attachment, not fear of punishment. 

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 the child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went naked in the family home, in order to serve both their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, where mother and child were fast asleep next to each other in the nude, with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact in bed with their mother. Children went naked for a reason - so that mothers could easily cuddle them up and snuggle them up when children were crying or upset. Fathers who stood by as the mother co-snuggled with her children also developed a secure attachment to their children. Usually, though, fathers who formed a secure attachment to a child - which was most fathers of the time - developed a parent attraction to the child of the opposite sex, meaning usually their daughter. Fathers were instructed by church leadership to follow the sexual thoughts to the end using masturbation. The sexual fantasy about the child brought the father closer to the child, but usually only the child of the opposite sex. Mothers saw children on a more objective level, and loved brothers and sisters of both sexes equally.

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

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior in children

All parents have had to deal with it at some point in their parenting journey. Children cry. Crying is a common reason for parents punishing their children. Most parents only tolerate crying in infants, and even then, some infants are shut out as well. The fact of the matter is that crying is not bad behavior. All children cry for the same reason an infant cries - they want love!

It says in Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers are to rest in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following them around like a gosling to a mother goose. Obedience, in the Bible, is synonymous with secure attachment, meaning parents must form a secure attachment with their child, and have them listen that way.

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, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy. Children in biblical times, when they cried or became upset, were co-snuggled with mothers, with children being placed on the bosom of mothers, with mothers being in mammary closeness to children. 

What can be done to replicate the abovementioned context? Mothers should, when their child is crying, disrobe to the level of at least underwear, or preferably fully naked. Mothers should then invite the child to throw off the clothes. You may find that, usually, children do not want to wear clothing when they are in the midst of crying or while upset. Then, hold them to the bosom area, soothing them with your embrace, empathizing with them in your words. Just do this once, and it should feel like what a mother should naturally do when their child is crying or upset. In public, this can be done by taking your child to the ladies' room and engaging in mammary closeness in a bathroom stall.

Crying is a means of communication for a child. Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and the greatest of these is attachment! So your child is crying out for attention? Then give them attention. Attention is, in fact, a child's greatest need, meaning all children need some loving attention every now and then. It just so happens that such a need, with mothers, can be met in skin-on-skin format, with children resting in the bare bosom of mothers, in mammary closeness. 

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

Original sin: Why child entitlement is the one entitlement to let go

Many parents punish their children. The core, main justification for punishing children is that children are born in original sin. Most parents think this Christian fact means that children are to have the sin "beaten out of them". Sin is entitlement, and entitlement is sin. Children are entitled people, with child entitlement existing at every level of a child's entitlement. But, they are entitled in a specific way that makes child entitlement the one entitlement to let go in a person.

Entitlement is the core of our sin nature, and want is at the core of our entitlement. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament, and cross-referencing the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, entitlement is defined as the slightest of unattainable want. Child entitlement is when a child cannot accept the word "no". However, this is because of the inborn nature of children, in a way a child both cannot help, and cannot be expected to know better concerning their behavior.

Children are born with clinical entitlement at every level of their entitlement. However, this state of being changes automatically as children get older. Children have a nature where they want what they want when they want it, and due to their immature nature, they cannot possibly control those wants at that given time in their development. Children, as the get older, however, get better at centering their development.

Why do children get better at centering their entitlement on their own? When children have a secure attachment to a parent, they want to be like that parent. So, in an attachment parenting home, they are then challenged, on their own, to do the work to be like their parents. Thus, if children in a securely attached home are given a good Judeo-Christian example, they will work towards those ideals on their own. There is no need to punish or control children.

Children, despite being entitled, are not responsible for their entitled behavior. This is because righteous judgment means judging others and the world just as the Early Christians judged then. The Early Church taught that children were sacrosanct, meaning children did no wrong in the eyes of the court, even if they did, and whomever brought a child to trial was the one convicted. The rationale was that children were still learning the Law, and were only to be held liable to the Law when their religious education was culminated, and they were baptized into the church as adults. Only adult believers had to answer for their entitlement, to the court and to God. Children could do no wrong, and that's how children were valued in the Early Church, even when they did do wrong.

Attachment parenting needs to be used in order to properly cultivate a child's sin nature and teach them good values. Christian attachment parenting is imparting a Christian example to children, and backing it up with a secure attachment with children. Secure attachment is cultivated by way of a setup of mutual submission, with the parent bearing the burden of proof in submitting to children. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, submitting to children as they would to God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following parents around like goslings follow their mother goose.

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 the child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by the child, coming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including any punishments or controlling demeanor towards children. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death by way of bloodletting, after punishing their children too many times. Parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child hostage merely for things they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a slave. Paul here was lifting up this legal context to 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.

Children, in biblical times, wore no clothing, at all, until they became adults. Women only wore clothing outside the home, and otherwise went in the nude, in order to serve their husbands and their children, separately. Mothers served their children by way of providing for them nourishment and sustenance, namely breastmilk (until age 3) and skin-to-skin closeness and intimacy, respectively. The core of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep next to each other, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact with mothers. Children went naked for a specific reason - so that mothers could cuddle them up and snuggle them up when they were crying or upset. By day, children ranged next to mothers, following her around like a gosling to a mother goose, sometimes clinging to her. When children cried or were upset, children were held to the bare bosom of mothers, resting in her loving arms in the nude. Secure attachment to mothers automatically translated onto fathers. However, fathers usually felt parent attraction towards their children when coming to the point of secure attachment on their end - usually the child of the opposite sex, meaning daughters - in which case they followed the thought to the end using masturbation (pro-social fantasy).

When children have a secure attachment with their parents, they are motivated to work on their entitled wants. If children also have a disciplined and non-entitled example, children will naturally want to work on their entitlement issues, and grow up to be as strong and disciplined as their Christian parents. When children have a secure attachment with YOU as the parent, they like you in a way that they want to be just like YOU, and see YOU on the level of a superhero. What child wouldn't want to be like their parents if their parents were nothing but nice and respectful to them? 

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