Why not to use Santa Claus as a behavioral motivator this Christmas season

It is Christmastime once more. Many children around the world are anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus. However, many children are also struggling with fears about their behavior. These children are probably wondering "will Santa bring me what I want, or will I get a bucket of coal". This Christmas season should not be used as a means to sculpt the perfect child that does not exist. No child is perfect, as every child makes mistakes. At the same time, they are at an age and developmental level where they are not responsible for their mistakes, no matter how big or small.

I personally am convicted, under my Christian faith, to shun Santa Claus altogether. Santa Claus is the exact replicate of the Norse god Odin. I respect if you feel otherwise about Santa Claus, as Santa-belief is not a mortal form of idolatry. However, I am personally convicted that it is idolatry. Also, Santa is often used as a behavioral motivator to scare children into being good beyond their years.

Child punishment, and punitive parenting of any kind, is dealt with explicitly in the Bible. It says in 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, coming 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 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 in biblical times was seen as holding your child hostage merely for doing the wrong thing. Paul here was lifting up this legal context in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishment into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child.

The abovementioned moral statute also applies to threatening children, in which case threatening children with Santa is a moral crime. Same with threatening to take gifts back when children are "ungrateful" for them. The Apostle Paul was the foremost child advocate of his time, speaking from his pulpit about the sins of the Greek and Roman pagans who spanked their daughters and whipped their sons with the cat o' nine tails.

Children are not perfect little angels all the time, nor do they have the capacity to be. Children have clinical entitlement, meaning entitlement that is not a moral or salvational issue. The Greek root word denoting entitlement in the New Testament is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to, officially speaking, want, to the point of imposition. Children are not liable to the court for this entitlement, as in biblical times, children were seen as sacrosanct in terms of righteous judgment. Children, unlike adults, cannot control their wants, and so we excuse them for not being able to control their wants. When children have a secure attachment and a good Christian example, they do the work to center their entitlement, and they do it automatically, without the need of punishments or controlling demeanor from parents. Child entitlement is a struggling entitlement, meaning children are naturally motivated to have a change of heart, if they have a good Christian example to work towards at home. All children need to work towards a good Christian example is a secure attachment to parents, where children have a safe place to work on their entitlement issues. Children absorb the Christian family values of their parents on their own, and don't need an elf on the shelf to motivate them, nor a belt on the shelf.

Most of the childish behaviors that annoy parents, and are seen as misbehavior by parents, are actually developmentally appropriate behaviors given the age and developmental level that they are at. Children naturally develop on their own, as their brain capacity grows. All a child needs to thrive is a good Christian example and a secure attachment. Once they have all that, the rest of the work will be done by them. Children naturally want to be independent, and thus all a parent needs to do is be self-reliant, disciplined, and non-entitled in their example, and their child will absorb those values automatically.

Gifts, from the vantage-point of the giver, come without strings attached. Giving a gift is the ultimate act of love to a child. True Christian love is denoted by the Greek root word αγαπαο (Latin: agapao) and refers to giving without receiving, meaning, in full, prioritizing children first, and yourself as a parent last, to the point of submission to children and their every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. If it is really a gift to your child, from you, you are to expect nothing in return from them. Children do not have to behave perfectly to get a gift. A gift is something you did nothing to receive. Children are grateful in their own way.

Even if the threat is an empty threat "just to motivate them", just as was the case with my abusive parents, it can cause fear and upset of the discomfiting type in children. Children then second guess their own natural behaviors. They count the ticks on themselves, and this leads to children engaging in behaviors such as staying up all night. My parents only gave me coal for Christmas when I asked for it (yes, I was a weird kid). My parents simply wanted to motivate me, but usually were motivating in a controlling and punitive way, in a warm and cold manner that simply bred anger in me. 

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 in to the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend in to 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: Roots of the prejudicial hysteria

The pro-pedophile push is growing in the United States. In 2012, the Virtuous Pedophiles forum was founded by two men with the pseudonyms Ethan Edwards and Nick Devin. Many people now support the rights of pedophiles. Sadly, many people have now come to oppose children's rights as a concept. The focus on pro-pedophile efforts has long focused on the rights of abusers and sex offenders. I don't support sex offenders unless they clearly have proven themselves as wanting help (but I think anyone can change if they are willing). However, the core population of pedophiles who are being kept down and persecuted are still children.

What is pedophilia? Pedophilia is not a form of narcissism. It is a form of immature autism where the age-oriented sexual preferences of the individual with autism is a reflection of their arrested emotional development. Most of the time, pedophiles develop an autistic specialty that surrounds children, child care, and children's rights. Most of the time, they shield younger siblings and younger family members from all reprimand and blame from parents and other adults, with this behavior starting early in childhood. 

Where does the prejudicial hysteria come from? Most pedophiles are not sexual abusers, but victims/survivors of sexual shaming abuse. Most pedophiles were punished in the name of "God" and religion for engaging in masturbatory fantasy about much younger children. Parents just got a whiff of the pedophilia, and wanted to stomp out all fantasy of it, using lurching techniques and similar techniques to try and halt masturbation, knowing intuitively where their pedophilic children were going in their fantasies. Most parents know where their children look when checking out attraction figures.

A common Bible verse used against pedophiles is Matthrew 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 committed adultery already in his heart.

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, including sexual desire for children, but to adult sexual entitlement, meaning sexual want, to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child for sexual or flirtatious reasons. However, pedophilic children are constantly taught by their abusive religious parents that the slightest of sexually-motivated look on a child is a serious sin. That is a form of child abuse, even if the victim is a pedophile.

Pedophile hysteria, as a whole, is a form of religious child abuse where alleged Christian parents tout their false and abusive understanding of Scripture to their pedophilic children, ruining their children by alienating them away from the faith, abusing their pedophilic children in the name of faith.

I myself am one of the pedophiles spared from the hysteria, meaning I disclosed to my parents at age 16, when I knew I fit the diagnostic criteria for pedophilia. Nobody believed me at first, and that was because they wanted to know for sure, once I was an adult, whether it was pedophilia or just a phase. Now, everyone believes me, but they don't care. They, however, don't care in a way that they can't tell anyone about "my son with pedophilia" due to political correctness. Most people these days would sympathize, but you never know, and so you keep silent even about your own child with the disorder. I now have a lot of people to talk to about my disorder, and when that is the case, you don't hate the world for that reason. I never was punished by my parents for being a pedophile. I was punished for a whole host of other things more related to a co-morbid mood disorder, meaning I was instead punished just for being a child. I hate parental rights, not children's rights, for my trauma as a victim of law-abiding parents. Some children were punished just for being pedophiles, and so I have to respect their experiences.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who prey on pedophiles when they are still children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them BURN in torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Christmas shopping meltdowns: How to deal with in-store meltdowns this Christmas season

Many parents think that children throwing fits in the store is bad behavior. This is a common view on children amongst American parents. Most parents punish their children just for throwing a temper tantrum in the store. However, the fact of the matter is that a child does not need that sort of response from parents. A crying or upset child of any age needs what an infant needs when they are crying - 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 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, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents, with parents expecting absolutely nothing in return. Children are to rest securely in the presence of parents, following mothers especially around like a gosling to a mother goose. This word refers not to listening out of fear of punishment, but listening coming from a secure attachment to parents.

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. 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 often melt down in the store when parents are shopping for gifts for family members. These temper tantrums happen for various reasons. Sometimes, the child is tired. Sometimes, the child is hungry. Sometimes, the child wants something that just is too expensive. Most of the time, they just need attention, and so you give them loving attention. No matter what age the child is, treat the child crying as a baby crying, and if you are the mother, hold your child to your bosom to provide comfort and sustenance to them. Children age 6 and under should be wrapped to the bosom of mothers with swaddling blankets, with mothers preferably wearing a shirt, blouse, or dress with a low neckline in order to provide optimum skin-on-skin comfort. This reduces tantrums, and shortens the length of tantrums...This was roughly how it was done in the days of old, with some tweaking involved.

Also, avoid shopping for Christmas gifts when a younger child isn't around. Very young children up until age 6 are actually averse to surprises, meaning it startles them, but love to anticipate a known future event that will bring them joy. So, show them the gifts you are buying for them, as they are being bought, and even let them select to a certain degree. But, tell them that they can only have their gifts come Christmas morning. With school age children and teenagers, surprises shouldn't be a problem, unless they have a developmental disorder such as autism.

Christmas gifts should not be used as a token for behavioral modification. Most things our society considered "naughty" behavior is actually developmentally appropriate behavior given the stage of development that they are at. Children go through a phase where they cry and demand a lot. Then, they whine, which is developmentally more mature than crying, meaning if your children whine, they are becoming more mature. The idea is to allow these behaviors, but don't engage in any of them yourself. Children are clinically entitled, but, alongside a secure attachment, a good Christian example should ship-shape a child's entitled nature, with the child absorbing good Christian values and discipline at their own pace.

Children rarely want to undermine your position as a parent, and if they do, they have a serious mental illness that punishment is even more counterproductive and harmful. Children are clinically entitled, but it is a struggling form of entitlement. They are doing the work, naturally, to be just like YOU. Punishing a child makes them not want to be like you, and then they grow older and idolize some movie star. Children should instead idolize their parents, and do hard work to be disciplined and non-entitled like their parents. 

The Ancient Israelites, and the Early Christians, saw children as wrathful, but in a way where you kept the fire at bay by pleasing and appeasing children. Children were seen as extensions of God, meaning they were sacrosanct and could do no wrong, even when they clearly did do wrong. Parents were struck with reverent fear and terror by their children's upsets, prompting parents to submit to their children's every cry and whim, more or less bowing down to and venerating the deity of the child in the process. Adults didn't get angry when a child cried. They simply were concerned, and swift to their feet in correcting the problem being reported by the children. Parents were informed by the religious authorities that children were reporting to God on the every move of parents, and that one iota of needs neglected could land the parents in Hell...This context applies today just as it did in the days of old - this is how a child should be dealt with.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be forever cast in to the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Let them descend in to 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!

Gratitude: How to be grateful for your child this Christmas season

It is the Christmas season once more. This season is all about gratitude, meaning being glad and happy for receiving something you don't deserve. Most parents think they are grateful for their child. However, very few parents are truly grateful for their child. Children were valued in biblical times, but today, they are taken for granted and are the butt of complaints and abuse from adults. Most parents in America hate their children, and most adults who aren't parents hate children, period.

How were children valued in biblical times? Children were not seen as sweet and innocent in biblical times. They were either seen as convicting figures due to their vulnerable place in society, or else were seen as forbidden attraction figures (by adult men mostly). Children were seen in biblical times as extensions of God, meaning convicting deities of their own, with children being referred to in endearing format as "my little god" or "my little goddess". Fathers, of course, took "goddess" another way, but even then, that was only in masturbatory fantasy. That fantasy simply made father and daughter best companions. Children's cries and upsets convicted 1st Century Christian parents, striking reverent fear and terror into parents, prompting them to submit to the cries of their children and provide nourishment and sustenance. Ancient Israel and the Early Church were child worshipping societies, not child sacrificing societies, in the ancient world.

Gratitude does not come in a vacuum. Gratitude is a fruit of Christian love, with Christian love being 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 and their every vulnerable need, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but from fearful conviction, where parents heed the warning that they are a depraved and decadent sinner who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else. This prompts the sinner/parent to pay due penance by serving their children's every vulnerable need.

"Expecting absolutely nothing in return" implies expecting nothing, period, which is what leads to gratitude. This includes gratitude towards children. Parents are deserving of absolutely nothing from children, and are undeserving of their child him/herself, as a parent is a depraved and decadent sinner who is get down on their knees and thank God for all the joy that their child brings them - because God could just roll it all back at any time, and he surely does for some parents. Sadly, only then are most parents grateful for their children - when they lose a child, due to premature death or kidnapping. 

When you take the attitude that you are deserving of absolutely nothing from your child, and are undeserving of even having a child, you start to count your blessings and be grateful for everything your child brings you, expecting absolutely nothing in return for serving your child's every vulnerable need. Thus, it is good to take an undeserving attitude towards your child, because then, you don't ask too much of your child.

I myself am a depraved and decadent sinner/adult who is deserving of absolutely nothing from children, and is undeserving of a child in my life. I am a sinful wretch who is deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing as an adult in relation to children. I am grateful for the trust and forgiveness that I receive from children in relation to my existence as an adult, as I deserve absolutely none of it. I deserve absolutely nothing, period, and deserve everything that is coming to me, as I am a depraved and decadent adult abuser of children. We all have abused children, as depraved and decadent adults, in some way, in some form, and thus we deserve everything coming to us for our entitlement in relation to children.

The parent entitled parents who provoke children to anger 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!

Policing attachment: Why parents must submit to being policed by their children

Many parents believe in policing children. More modern parents don't use the exact word "policing" to describe their parenting, but that is how most parents are in America. Most parents are "keep down" abusers in this country. The fact of the matter is that children in the Bible were demanding, and parents reverently feared them, allowing children to police them.

Policing attachment was the type of secure attachment most common in biblical times. This was part of a mutual submission relationship between parent and child. 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, 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 in the presence of parents, following mothers especially around like a gosling to a mother goose. This word refers not to listening out of fear of punishment, but listening due to a secure attachment with parents.

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 punitive parenting, including punishments and 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 a child as a quartered 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 were seen very differently among the Early Christians. Children were seen as mighty and powerful, like God's Holy Fire. Punishing or harshly reprimanding a child was seen as poking at that Fire with a wooden stick. Children were seen as wrathful in this way, and in order to deal with children's wrath appropriately, parents were to taper down the fire that was their children, selflessly keeping the fire at bay by providing for children's every vulnerable need.

Children in biblical times were very demanding. Children made righteous demands on parents. This was seen as the wrath of children. In order to keep the wrath of children at bay, parents pleased and appeased children. Children bossed around their parents, issuing lawful and binding orders and decrees to their parents, with parents being forced to meet their children's every need and benign want. Parenting manuals from Early Church leadership spelled out what children would need, in list format, and at the end of the list, the manual threatened that even one iota of needs neglected by the parent could land the parent in Hell for eternity. Children were valued to that degree in biblical times.

Secure attachment is a necessity for a stable childhood. Secure attachment is where a child trusts you in everything, with their every emotion, and with their every secret. Policing attachment is where the child feels so comfortable with parents that they order parents around, and demand their every need, not even asking politely. Today, this is most common with children with autism in relation to their parents. But, in biblical times, every child was treated to this type of attachment. Policing attachment is an adversarial form of secure attachment where parents regard themselves as the enemy of their children, seeking to win favor with them, just as mankind is the enemy of God and is to win favor with Him. How children relate to parents is generally how they will relate to teachers, peers, or the police. Children with policing attachment don't try to police the police, but simply tell the police everything they need to know.

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 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, respectively. Children in biblical times could tell their parents, and parents listened and validated. Usually, children cried when confiding into parents vulnerable needs. Sometimes, all children needed was attention, and parents were sure to give children the attention that they needed. Children were listened to through skin-on-skin co-snuggling and co-mingling. When children were in the home, mothers snuggled and cuddled with children in the nude in order to reassure their needs and demands. When children were outside of the home with their mother, they were wrapped in swaddling blankets and held to the bosom of mothers with those blankets, namely younger children up until age 6, but sometimes children older than that. Children cried a lot during their formative years, and then started issuing demands in the later years of childhood.

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!

Fear your child: Why to be reverently afraid of your child

Many parents believe that their children should fear them. This is a common American view of children. Even with Santa Claus this season, like every season, children are pigeon-holed into a role where they have to please their adults in order to win over their loving care, including Christmas presents. The fact of the matter is that children are to be feared. That was the Ancient Jewish view of children, including in the Early Church.

Love is submission, and submission is love. The Greek root word denoting Christian love is αγαπαο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to, in the context of parenting, prioritizing children first, and yourself as a parent last, to the point of dutiful and selfless submission to the every vulnerable need of children, expecting absolutely nothing in return, valuing children as extensions of God. True Love does not come from pride or desire, but instead comes from fearful conviction, where the parents are convicted out of fear of being the depraved and decadent sinner that they are, who is deserving of absolutely nothing, from children or anyone else. This leads to the parent/sinner paying due penance for their sinful nature, serving their children as they would their nature. Children were seen in biblical times as your neighbor, in a way where children convicted parents and other adults with their vulnerability.

Parents are to submit to children as they would God, with children resting safely and securely in the wake of the submission 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 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 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 mothers especially around like goslings to a mother goose. This word refers, in short, to secure attachment.

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. 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 children.

Reverent fear is denoted in the New Testament by the Greek root word ψοβός (Latin: phobos). This word denotes righteous anxiety and terror, which applies, in the context of parenting, to how seriously parents should take their child's needs. Children in biblical times were seen as wrathful, with parents being their enemy from day one. In order to win over their children, they had to provide nourishment and sustenance, and treat their children with reverent respect, pampering and spoiling their children with love and attention. Parenting manuals were handed out to every new parent by Early Church leadership, and parents were given a list of instructions as to how to care for their children, and were told that if they neglected one iota of those instructions, they could face eternity in Hell. Parents were struck with reverent fear and terror for their child, seeing their child as a menace to please and appease, with parents seeking to both keep children happy and stay on the good side of their children. When children were angry at parents, parents cried, wondering what they were doing wrong. But, nonetheless, on another level, it was viewed that children could do no wrong, even if they literally did, meaning they were sacrosanct. Children, under the Law, could not be judged for anything. Anger in biblical times was only allowed in righteous judgment, and since children were sacrosanct in terms of righteous judgment, mere anger at children was seen as unlawful. Lashing out at children was seen as poking at a fire with a wooden stick.

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 her husband and her 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, respectively. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, where mother and child slept next to each other in the nude, with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Children went in the nude for one specific reason - in order to snuggle up and cuddle up children when they were crying or upset, soothing them and reassuring them that all is well. Fathers stood by and guarded the mother and child, wielding a rod and staff to whip intruders (meaning NOT children) with. Fathers also formed a secure attachment to children, usually after witnessing children bond securely with mothers. Usually, however, that attachment was a sexual attachment, at the connotational level, and usually to daughters. Church leadership in the Early Church instructed fathers to follow the sexual thoughts about their children to the end through masturbatory fantasy. Daughters were also attracted to their fathers, creating a mutually unrequited sexual dynamic between father and daughter, which was a sign of sexual purity in a family home. Sexual abuse was rare in biblical times, but when it happened, it was seen as deserving of death.

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!

Pro-social deification, pro-social child worship: Why children were worshipped in biblical times

Many American parents believe that biblical times were hard on children. This is a common view amongst American parents. Most parents believe that children were whipped by their fathers, and put to work at a young age. However, these assumptions are a form of false context on the part of the parents who assume these things about the Bible. The fact of the matter is that children in the Bible were worshipped and venerated as extensions of God on earth, not treated as slaves or bondservants.

It says in Matthew 25:45-46 KJV:

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

This passage, in the context of parenting, refers to pro-social child worship. Children in biblical times were not regarded as "to be seen and not heard". Children in biblical times were regarded as extensions of God, meaning installments of God called to convict parents and other adults of their charitable role, then judging all adult-kind of how charitable they actually were. Parenting manuals warned parents, in a searing and convicting manner, that parents were to value children as extensions of God, and to know that children are reporting to God as to how good of a job parents are doing. Children are installments of God, called to be monitors of how charitable parents and other adults are to them. Parents were struck with reverent fear and terror, feeling convicted and compelled to serve their child's needs thoroughly, as the parenting manuals warned that neglecting even the slightest of needs of children could land a parent into Hell. Children in biblical times, in terms of righteous judgment, were sacrosanct, meaning children could do not wrong then, even if they did.

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 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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Children are to rest safely and securely in the presence of parents, following mothers especially around like goslings to a mother goose. The Greek root word for "obey" refers chiefly 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 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 then 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.

Attachment parenting was the established norm in biblical times. The Early Christians, as well as their Jewish predecessors, practiced a specific, distinct form of attachment parenting that deified children. Children then were regarded as extensions of God, meaning installments of God called to convict parents of their charitable role, and then monitor parents to see how charitable they actually are, reporting to God in everything regarding the charity of parents. The topic of children was a sobering, convicting topic among the Early Christians, and among the Ancient Jews preceding them. Children issued lawful and binding orders as a Godhead casting a dominion over parents. Children could even take their parents to court, in which case, the case was already decided - the church elders always ruled in favor of the children when in mediation sessions. Children in biblical times were seen as wrathful, in a way that you heeded to such wrath, pleasing and appeasing children, staying on their good side, keeping them happy. Parents were literally afraid of their children, meaning they didn't want to make them mad.

Children, in biblical times, wore absolutely no clothing, at all, until they were 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. The core aspect of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century was skin-on-skin co-sleeping, with mother and child fast asleep in the nude, and with children soaking up the rays of skin-to-skin contact. Children went naked then for a specific reason - so that mothers could snuggle them up and cuddle them up in their arms, in order to reassure them when they are crying and upset, giving children time in, in skin-on-skin format. Fathers stood guard to protect the mother and child, wielding a rod and staff to whip intruders (meaning NOT children) who trespassed onto the premises. Fathers also developed a secure attachment to their children, after witnessing bonding between mother and child. Usually, secure attachment for fathers came in the form of a sexual attachment to children, usually the child of the opposite sex, meaning usually daughters. Church elders and deacons instructed fathers to follow those sexual thoughts to the end using masturbatory fantasy (pro-social fantasy). Daughters were also attracted to fathers, creating a mutually unrequited sexual dynamic between father and daughter, which was a sign of sexual purity in the home. Sexual abuse was rare in biblical times, but when it happened, it was seen as deserving of death.

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!
