Child nudity: Why child nudity should be encouraged in the family home

Child nudity is something that is often punished in Christian homes. This is a reason for punishment in many homes across America. Most parents insist on children wearing clothing except when bathing or changing. The fact of the matter, however, is that child nudity is necessary for proper Christian attachment parenting.

Secure attachment is commanded in the Bible. It says in Colossians 3:20 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in all things: as this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as extensions of God.

In the Early Church, children wore no clothing, at all, until they were adults. Mothers also were completely naked in the family home, only wearing clothing outside the home. Mothers wore a thin, revealing dress that only covered up the basics, in order to honor her husband. Children never wore clothing. 

The reason for children not wearing clothing was simple - so that children got optimal skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance when picked up or held by their mothers, who were also naked at the time. This skin-on-skin closeness formed a secure attachment between mothers and children. Fathers also formed a secure attachment in the form of a sexual attachment to his children, which a good father dealt with by way of masturbatory fantasy about his child.

Allowing for child nudity in the home is the quickest way to Christian attachment parenting. Child nudity was the centerpiece of Christian attachment parenting in the 1st Century, as the nude setup of the household facilitated the ability for skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. Unlike other parenting contexts in ancient history, the Early Christian parenting context stresses nudity in conjunction with skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. 

When you start to see your children naked all of the time as a parent, you start to revert to your natural instincts as a parent. You then start to revert to a state where you relate to your child at an equal level. Both mothers and fathers have parent attraction that can be re-channeled into nurturing children the appropriate way. Pedophilia and parent attraction is simply, evolutionarily speaking, connotations attached to children so they don't leave your line of sight. A non-offending pedophile is constantly aware of the children around them when in public, but that's where the attraction ends.

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 ever-burning Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's wrath forever and ever!

Change of heart: How to bring your child to a change of heart (without spanking or punishment)

Many parents want their children to have a change of heart. That is the number one reason why punitive parenting is defended the way it is today. Most parents who punish their children, including physically, are trying to bring their children to a change of heart. The fact of the matter is that it can be done without punitive parenting of any sort.

The concept of bringing a change of heart in a child is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission in parenting. See Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and 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 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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable exrensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργίζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including 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 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 them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the Ephesian church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers, in this context, to modeling Christian discipline to children. The standard of Christian discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore grateful for absolutely everything, leading to a chastened up example for children to follow. In biblical times, parents worked on their entitlement, with parents centering their entitlement, modeling Christian discipline and chastisement to children. Christian parents in biblical times caught their children being good, and then lavishly praised and encouraged self-improvement in children with phrases like "keep going down the right path". Parents caught children being good at the first sign that the child emulated their disciplined example. Parents sometimes had to give direct instructions to children. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to parental instruction. Parents could not issue lawful orders to their minor children, and so they requested things from children from the bottom of their heart, hoping their children would listen. When there was a secure attachment, which was the case most of the time, children listened automatically to parents, and also kept their disciplined example, especially later in childhood.

It is impossible to bring someone to a change of heart through punishment. The old idea is that children need to be broken down, usually by way of corporal punishment, until they are in tears, and then they can hear Christ's message of peace and forgiveness. The fact of the matter is that children do not learn through pain or being broken down, but by seeing their parents break themselves down and build themselves back up in self-improvement. 

Most children who have a secure attachment to parents want to be like their parents. Therefore, if they see their parents have a change of heart, they too will have a change of heart. Christian discipline, if experienced right, breaks you down, then builds you back up. Christian discipline takes everything you want away, then shows you what you already have. Children are capable of disciplining themselves in this way, especially as they get older. All you have to do is show them the way, and do so using your own example and encouragement.

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!

"Benign" deprivation: Why not to deprive your child of things they want

Many parents buy into authoritative parenting. Authoritative parenting is where children can petition parents for what they want, but parents ultimately are tbe ones deciding what children need, apart from the child's requests. Most authoritative parenting is practiced using time-out, and maybe the occasional disciplinary spanking. One aspect of authoritative parenting is "benign" deprivation, which is depriving children of wants and even needs. Authoritative parenting guru John Rosement states repeatedly that "children need most of what they need, and some of what they want". The fact of the matter is that children need ALL of what they need, with what they want generally being what they need. Children do NOT need to hear the word "no" except when "no" is the only answer to be given.

Giving children everything that they need is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and 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 God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including 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 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 the Law in order to convict 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 in his writings.

Children have five basic categories of needs; food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment - and the greatest of these needs is attachment! Children do, in fact, know what they need, but may not advocate it directly or civilly. They usually advocate a vulnerable need by wanting things. Each want of a child is reflective of a need. For example, when a child asks for things in the store, know that those things come from YOU, meaning they really need attachment. In the child's eyes, getting them what they want in the store is a sign of your love. If you are of low-income and honestly can't afford what they want, show them affection when they ask for what they want, meaning, most of the time, skin-on-skin comfort. But, if you can afford it, why not splurge for them? They are only little once.

Children, in biblical times, had lawful authority over their parents, and had the right to give orders as to what they needed, with this called righteous ordering then. The every cry of children was interpreted as a lawful order from children, leading to mothers in particular responding to the every cry of a child. In biblical times, children had an infantilized conditioning, meaning they cried whenever they wanted something, knowing that they'd get what they wanted most of the time. Under Christian law, parents were only allowed to say "no" if the child was asking for something completely unworkable or immoral, in which case they could refuse the law of their children. Children in the Early Church got most of what they wanted, and everything they needed, despite the average Christian being dirt poor.

"Benign" deprivation is not a biblical practice in parenting. The goal in parenting is to give children most of what they want, and all of what they need. Children do need stuff, because that stuff comes from YOU, and because it comes from YOU, it is a sign of your love. Most of the time, children don't ask for much. Maybe a toy they really want, and they are counting on you to grant them their wish. Saying "no" just for the sake of "no" an act of separation, not attachment. On one level, children truly want what they say they want, but on another level, that want is connected to attachment needs. So, why not splurge on toys and candy? They are only little once, so they should be treated with whatever they want, as long as it is workable and moral. 

Children got most of what they wanted in biblical times. Christian mothers in the 1st Century, despite being impoverished, did a lot for their children. When children were taken out and about, they could take any food they wanted from market, and mom would cook it for them if she had to. Christian parents then were seen by the church as bondservants to their children, working for a lump sum which was independence.

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!

Time-in: Why time-in is better than time-out

Many parents today use time-out as a means to control the movements of their child. This is a common punishment that parents impose upon children, many times in conjunction with a disciplinary spanking. This is how authoritative parenting is implemented in America. The fact of the matter, however, is that time-in is more effective than time-out or spanking. However, there is a proper way to do time-in, and that is the biblical way.

Time-in takes place in the context of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, where parents are convicted into dutiful and fearful submission to children, with children resting in such submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and 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 to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibitng 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 and offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen as in biblical times holding your child hostage merely for things that they did wrong, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Time-in has a proper application, and that proper application is rooted in the biblical context, thereby coloring the meaning of the Christian commands on parenting. When a child cried in biblical times, mothers always responded, and usually gave the child skin-on-skin comfort, maybe allowing the child to suckle her teat if milk-hungry. In most cases, this skin-on-skin contact with the mother soothed the child and stopped crying instantly. Then, mothers asked the child what they needed, that is if the child was old enough to verbalize their needs. With babies, mothers intuitively knew what children wanted or needed, and fulfilled that need.

The every cry of a child was deemed law in the Early Church, meaning that if you did not respond to your child's cries with warmth and affection, you were guilty of theft under the Law, at the very least, depending on the nature of the offense perceived by the child, but maybe kidnapping if the offense involved servile treatment of any kind. Parents, in the Early Christian church communities, were under the lawful authority of their children, with children able to impose orders on parents, which was usually done through crying. Parents had to respond to the tears of children, or be deemed abusers.

The way the abovementioned context can be best applied today is to allow children to not wear clothing when simply walking around the house. Then, when you are the mother, and your child is crying, disrobe and hold the naked child to your bosom, reassuring the child with the word "this too will pass". The child's tears should turn silent before going away completely, and then you can work out with your child what they need. In public, mothers can take their children to the ladies' room and tuck the crying or upset child under their shirt.

Fathers can also reassure their children, albeit more from afar than the mother can. They can reassure the child with the words "this too will pass", perhaps with gentle physical affection. Fathers can learn how to be gentle with their children through righteous masturbation, meaning indulging in masturbatory fantasy about their child in order to encapsulate their sexual drive towards their own child, which all fathers have, usually towards daughters.

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!

Control from beneath: Why children controlled parents from beneath in biblical times

Many parents think that they are in charge of their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents think that their children have to answer to them, and when children refuse to answer to parents. The fact of the matter is that the Bible states it in the reverse - parents have to answer to their children.

Parents are to submit to their children dutifully and fearfully, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as extensions of God. Children are then to rest securely, in mutual submission with 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 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, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including 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 that they did wrong, thereby treating them as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing their children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Parents, in biblical times, were under the lawful authority of their children. Children had every right to issue lawful orders and decrees to their parents, and parents were to obey and submit to the lawful authority of their children. Parents dutifully and fearfully submitted to children, from beneath yet from above, struck with reverent terror by the cries of the child, feeling compelled to respond to the every cry of a child.

In the Early Church, parenting manuals stated that the every cry of a child is law. Thus, refusing to respond to a child's cries in a timely fashion was seen as the same as refusing to give God what He needs from mankind. Children cast a dominion over their parents that never ended until the child left the house. Parents had no lawful authority over their minor children, and could simply make requests from the bottom of their heart, hoping that children trusted them enough to listen to their requests. 

Christian mothers in the 1st Century responded to the every cry of their children, even if they only wanted attention, following their instincts, motivated by the fear of God, with God represented in their children. Mothers usually gave children loving attention in skin-on-skin fashion, reassuring children that "this too will pass" with the child in skin-on-skin contact with their bosom, perhaps suckling her teat if milk-hungry. Even older children, who were more mobile than children under age 6, wanted sustaining warmth and closeness with mothers from time to time, usually at night when co-sleeping next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. The every cry of a child was seen as law, meaning it was a violation of Christian law to not respond to your child's cries. Not responding to the cries of children was deemed to be a provocation to anger against a child.

Children had much lobbying power with their parents. Children in biblical times usually got what they wanted, and always got what they needed. Instead of parents unilaterally deciding what a child needed, children decided what they needed, and lobbied their parents as to their every vulnerable need, as well as benign wants. Parents could only say "no" if the orders from their children were immoral or unworkable. Christian law put parents in a position where they could easily be manipulated by their children, and then parents had no legal recourse if backed into doing something wrong.

All of the abovementioned context is binding on America today just as it was binding on the Early Christians that received God's Word. God intended for ALL of the Bible to be understood in context, meaning the Hebraic context. God cast a dominion over all of mankind, yet only a few will heed the warning. America is a Christian nation, founded upon Judeo-Christian family values. The Bible is a founding document of this country, above even the Constitution itself.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke children to anger through punitive parents 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 tbe 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!

Righteous masturbation: How to prevent child sexual abuse

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Most adults think child sexual abuse is an inevitable moral crime to be committed against children. It is a common attitude amongst American attitude that we can't do anything about child sexual abuse being so common. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. 

Every single adult is guilty in relation to children, and is deserving of DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. All adults are capable of the worst of child abuse, including child sexual abuse, under the right/wrong conditions. That doesn't mean every adult will sexually abuse a child, but a fair amount will, once alone with a child. There are things YOU can do to mitigate your risk to children as an adult.

A common excuse for child sexual abuse, on the surface, is a false and abusive religious teaching that is endorsed on a societal level. See 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, but to sexual entitlement. Adult sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want for children, to the point of sexually motivated approach. Righteous masturbation was a way to re-channel sexual desire away from sexual sin in the Early Church, and that included the rape and sexual assault of children. Rape and sexual assault of children was considered fornication in every case in the Early Church, and was grounds for excommunication. Fornication was seen as blasphemy, thus worse than murder. Child sexual abuse was rare next to non-existent in biblical context.

Most child sexual abuse today is repressed in terms of the entitlement involved. Most adults who sexually abuse a child are repressing their sex drive towards children. When you repress anything, it comes out sideways...and that's how sexual abuse happens. The adult fornicator represses sexual desires towards a child, usually their own child, and fights it back in their head, and keeps fighting it back, until they can fight it back no more. Then, it spills out onto the child, leading to a tragedy that could have easily been prevented with proper sexual hygiene.  

Most child sexual abuse has more to do with the electra complex than pedophilia. Most child sexual abuse is committed by a father or father figure, usually when the sexual desire towards his daughter is repressed. Sexual abuse occurs when this sexual desire is so repressed that it comes out sideways as sexual entitlement. Righteous masturbation will re-channel those sexual desires inward, thus encapsulating them so the adult has total control over their sexual drive for children.

Preventing child sexual abuse is a matter of personal responsibility. Simply find a fantasy about children that you are repressing, and masturbate to it, and keep masturbating until you feel comfortable with the thought of sex with children. It is guaranteed to remain a thought, however, as you will have better self-control around children, no matter what they are wearing or not wearing. It is something that doesn't have to happen, but does because adults lack personal responsibility towards themselves and the children they come in contact with.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who sexually abuse children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of Hell-fire! Repent!

Providing custody: The contents of custody under Christian law

Many parents think that they own their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most parents take ownership over their children, thinking that they own them as property or chattel. The fact of the matter is that the Bible gives children individual rights, even over their parents. Providing custody is the empowered rest of children in the love and submission of their parents. 

Providing custody is the child's lot in the Christian doctrine for mutual submission. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Chrst. Parents are to be extensions of Christ in the family home, dutifully and selflessly submitting to children as they would to God, expecting absolutely nothing in return, with children resting safely and securely in the submission of parents. Parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, revering and fearing children as vulnerable extensions of God.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including 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 the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child. 

The Greek root word υπακουο ultimately refers to providing custody. Providing custody is where children are in a state of secure rest in relation to the dutiful and fearful submission of their parents, with parents fearfully submitting to children from beneath yet from above. To better understand providing custody, one must understand that children have lawful authority over their parents, able to issue lawful orders to get what they need and want from parents. Parents could only refuse the law of their children if, given the circumstances, the Law contradicts the child's orders, or else the child's orders are completely unworkable. Usually, parents had to scramble and find a way to obey their child, or else face the penalty that is their wrath.

The way this legal framework worked in practice is that children cried, and mothers responded to the every cry of their child. The every cry of a child is law in the Hebraic understanding of the Bible. Mothers provided food, water, shelter, transportation, and attachment based on the cries of their children, with the most important need being attachment. Even if the child cried out for attention, the mother immediately and instinctively responded by giving the child loving attention. 

Parenting manuals in biblical times issued the decree that the every cry of a child was law, and that ignoring the cries of children was akin to ignoring the Law that God has instituted as a dominion cast on all mankind, for mankind to obey fearfully and dutifully. Simply ignoring one cry of a child was seen as a self-condemnation to Hell in the Early Church, unless the mother repented and got on the straight and narrow. Parents were seen as servants by their children, of the comforting variety. 

Even fathers nurtured. Mothers nurtured up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. Fathers mainly nurtured in terms of praising self-improvement in children. Fathers also were playmates to children from time to time, of the silly and playful type, relating to children at their level. Fathers helped out mothers when she got tired of responding to crying, and did so by taking over for her duties.

Parents dutifully and fearfully submitted to children from beneath yet from above. Children were seen as menacing for their small size and stature, and parents felt compelled to obey the orders of their children. Parents were seen by children then as objects of comfort and pleasure, usually starting with mothers breastfeeding their children until age 3 in most cases, or in some cases all the way until age 6 or older. Parents feared their children, in a guilt-ridden way, and every time their child cried, they immediately responded, out of instinct. Ancient Israel and the Early Church were child worshipping societies, with children being seen as vulnerable extensions of God called to judge righteously the charity and good will of adults, and then report to God their findings.

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!
