Birth nudity: Why birth nudity is a Christian tradition

Most American parents think that children should wear clothing. This is a common attitude in American homes. The fact of the matter is, however, is that children didn't wear any clothing at all, until they became adults and while being baptized. Birth nudity was a Christian tradition in biblical times, lifted up by the Christian doctrine of mutual submission.

Birth nudity is the best way you can understand the Christian doctrine of mutual submission in the family home. Children surrender into the loving arms of mothers, as mothers provide sustaining warmth. 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 submission of parents. Children are to rest in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

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, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, 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 your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings.

Birth nudity is a Christian tradition, dating all the way back to the Early Church. During the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went in biblical times, so did the child. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mothers and children were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When out and about in public, mothers swaddled their young children to their bosom in swaddling blankets, then tucking the child underneath her shirt. Mothers in biblical times felt free to breastfeed whenever necessary, including when she had the child with her in public. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. This skin-on-skin co-sleeping lasted until puberty, when the child wanted a place for him/herself to sleep on their own.

Women in biblical times went naked in the family home, in order to serve both their children and their husbands, separately. When mothers went out and about, they wore a loose-fitting, revealing dress that resembled an apron. Children went naked wherever they went, and this setup was to make skin-on-skin comfort more accessible to children. In this birth nudity context, whenever a child was mere picked up, there was skin-on-skin closeness.

Birth nudity, in its modern practice, is allowing children to go completely naked, all the way up until they choose to wear clothing on their terms. Until then, mothers were also in the nude for purposes of sustaining warmth, remaining home constantly, tending to her babies. This tradition is an old Christian tradition, dating back to the Early Church, and even before then in Ancient Israel.

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

 

Why to catch children being good (as opposed to being bad)

Many parents think that discipline means to catch a child in the act of doing something wrong, then punish them for the infraction. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents see discipline in parenting. The fact of the matter, however, is that actual Christian discipline of children involves catching children being good, in the context of a secure attachment.

Catching children being good, in the context of secure attachment, is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission. 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 on the earth. And, ye father, provoke not your children to wrath: bur 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 submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

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, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, 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, thereby treating your child as a quartered slave. Paul, here, was lifting up the Law in order to convict Greek Christian parents in the parish at Ephesus of bringing their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to here, in this context, to modeling Christian discipline to children. The Christian standard of discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, thereby grateful for absolutely everything, coming from a sinful nature, leading to a chastened up example for children to follow. Christian parents in the Early Church centered their entitlement in view of their children, with their children following in their footsteps. Children in biblical times were caught being good by fathers, instead of caught being bad. When children followed the disciplined example of parents, and were caught doing so, they were rewarded with lavish praise and encouragement to "keep headed down the straight path". Boys were given manly praise when caught being good, and girls were given snuggles from aside when fathers caught them being good. Sometimes, children need direct advice and counsel. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the advice and counsel of parents, meaning parents could only give advice to children, and counsel children when they are upset. Parents did not have any lawfully binding authority over children, with children being the ones calling the shots.

What motivated a child to learn right from wrong? Parents sought a secure attachment from children. For the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went, so did the child. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mother and child are in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. Whenever children cried, mothers responded with sustaining warmth, picking up the child in skin-on-skin format, then holding the child close to her bosom in mammary closeness. When out and about in public, mothers swaddled their young children - under age 6 - in swaddling blankets made of velvet. When a child was swaddled to the bosom of their mothers, and cried, they were held closer to the bosom of mothers. Most children who were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers cried quietly, with mothers responding immediately. 

This abovementioned sustaining warmth during the child's formative years conditioned children to accept discipline on their own accord from fathers. Fathers were a secondary attraction figure for children, based off of the primary attachment of a child to his/her mother. Righteous masturbation was used by fathers to center their sexual drive towards a child in a certain place. This masturbation ultimately kindled a bond between father and child, and especially father and daughter.

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

Strictness in Christian homes: Why parents should not impose strictness (and why children can learn to be strict with themselves)

Many parents want to be strict with their children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents favor strictness when dealing with children. However, the Bible teaches that strictness comes from within a child's heart, not without.

The Christian doctrine of mutual submission holds that parents, namely fathers, lovingly encourage children to be strict with themselves. 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 on 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 "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the advice and counsel of parents, meaning all that parents were allowed to do was give advice to children as well as counsel them when they were upset. While the child still lived with parents, only the child could issue lawfully binding orders on parents.

What motivates a child to follow the disciplined example of parents? Christian attachment parenting made children want and strive to follow the disciplined example of parents. For the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went, do did the child. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, with mother and child being in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children cried, mothers picked up the child in skin-on-skin format, then holding the dear child close to their bosom in mammary closeness. When mothers were out and about in public, children were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers, in swaddling blankets made of velvet. When a swaddled child cried, they were held close to the bosom of mothers. Children who were swaddled, in most cases, cried quietly. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. Skin-on-skin co-sleeping lasted until the child shook that comfort off after the onset of puberty, with the pubescent child wanting a place of their own to sleep. This sustaining warmth in the formative years of childhood motivated children to follow their parents' example. When a child is given nourishment and sustenance, they grow to be ready to learn how to be disciplined on their own.

Strictness is a must in parenting, and that is not up for debate. However, children need to learn to be strict with themselves, and not reliant on an adult to be strict with them. In Christian homes in the Early Church, both sons and daughters studied a Bible that was left out for the discovery of children. When fathers saw his children exploring the Bible, he praised his children in their religious vocation. That self-study of the Bible helped children grow up to be strict with themselves, alongside the disciplined example of parents.

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

Righteous ordering: Why children call the shots in Christian parenting

Many parents think that they call the shots. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most parents think they are the one in charge, and cite the Bible as "proof" to their punitive parenting. The fact of the matter is that the Bible, when understood in context, commands that children be in charge of their parents, and righteously demand their every need.

Righteous ordering is part of the Christian doctrine of original sin. 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. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

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, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, 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 your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings.

Children, in the Early Church, held divine authority over their parents, with parents being subject to the lawfully binding orders of children. When parents took their children to court, the church elders sided with the child every time, and the parents were ordered by the council to apologize for the undue accusation. Children sometimes took the parents to court for provocations to anger, and if parents were found guilty by the council, they were excommunicated and shunned by the entire Christian community. The only hope that entitled parents had was if they could apologize to their child in court.

For the first 6 years of a child's life, children cried frequently, and usually cried because they needed something. Cries from children were understood as lawfully binding orders by mothers, and thus mothers responded to the every cry of children, guided by her intuition in diagnosing the need, and then providing for a child's every need.

Children aged 6 and up started directly issuing righteous demands on their parents, ordering their parents around. In the Early Church, children called the shots. Parents gave up any fight they had with their children, and gave in to the righteous demands of their children.

Righteous ordering holds that children give the orders to parents, and parents follow. Under Christian law in the Early Church, parents were lawfully required to say "yes" to the every righteous demand of children, with few exceptions. Those exceptions were if the child's orders were either unlawful and/or unworkable. Unless the child was issuing unlawful or unworkable orders, merely saying "no" to a child brought the parents before the council, where they would be excommunicated and shunned by the entire Early Christian community.

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

Hebrews 12:5-8: Why this is not a spanking passage

Many parents punish their children. Most American parents support punishing a child. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents use the Bible as an excuse for punitive parenting. The passage that holds the pro-spanking argument together is Hebrews 12:5-8. However, this passage is not a command to punish or reprimand a child.

It says in Hebrews 12:5-8 KJV:

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as sons, for what son is he who the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

The Greek root word translated "scourgeth" is μαστιγόω (Latin: mastigoó) and is a reference to the 40 minus 1 lashes imposed on young adults in the Old Testament by fathers when the young adult was convicted of a criminal offense, with the whipping taking place within a courtroom - the rod verses, when literally understood in context, speak of judicial corporal punishment, not domestic corporal punishment. The Early Christians did not carry on the legal tradition of the 40 minus 1 lashes. The mention here of God whipping His children is a metaphor for trials and tribulations. In the Hebraic languages, instead of saying "I had a hard day at work" you would say "God whipped me hard today". This passage was specifically intended by the Apostle Paul to comfort the Hebrew Christians in their persecution by the Romans.

God whips His children, like only He can. God only whips His children when there it doesn't harm children. Earthly parents only whip their children when it does harm them. Earthly parents instead should use natural parenting, meaning attachment parenting, in bringing up children. The passage in Heb. 12:5-8 is not a spanking passage, but instead comfort for a long day at work. There are passages in the Bible that deal with proper Christian 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 on 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 here to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home.

Children in the Early Church were caught being good, instead of caught being bad. Whenever a child emulated the Christian example of parents, they were given lavish praise and encouragement to "keep headed down the straight path". Boys were rewarded with manly praise when caught being good, and girls were given hugs and snuggles when caught being good. Sometimes, children needed direct advice from parents. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the advice and counsel of parents, meaning parents could only either give advice to their children or counsel them. Parents of dependent children were prohibited from issuing lawfully binding orders to children, with parents being under the divine authority of children.

For the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went, so did the child. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, with mother and child in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children cried, mothers cooed while picking them up, then holding the upset child to her bosom in mammary closeness. When out and about in public, mothers swaddled their children next to their bosom in swaddling blankets. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to the child in skin-on-skin comfort and sustenance. Children continued to sleep next to their children until the onset of puberty, when they wanted a place of their own to sleep.

For the last 7 years of childhood, children were turned over to the providing custody of their fathers, for religious instruction. Fathers left out a Bible for a child to find, and hopefully, take interest in. When children were caught reading Scripture, they were lavishly praised and encouraged in their religious vocation. Fathers bonded with children by way of following any sexual thoughts about them to the end by way of masturbatory fantasy. Righteous masturbation centered the parent attraction of fathers in a certain place, away from the child. This led to the parent attraction coming out as a male nurturing instinct. It is a myth that fathers corrected sexually - any sexual relations between adults and children was considered a capital offense on the part of the adult (see Lev. 18:17; 20:13).

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

The age of consent: Why it should be raised to 18 in Pennsylvania

Many adults are avoidant of the biblical context on parenting because of the age of consent being different in biblical times. In the Early Church, the age of consent was at 13, meaning at the age of majority under Roman law. Most Christians avoid the Hebraic context of the Bible to avoid "being led down the wrong path". The fact of the matter is that the Bible commands a high age of consent. 

Among ancient cultures, Early Christian culture would have been seen as a purity culture, as only legal adults were allowed to have sex, and only with someone close to their age. Children were prohibited under the Law from even having sexual relations with each other. Marriages weren't approved by the state unless there was some major degree of equality in the marriage.

It says in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 KJV:

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and refers here to anything outside of proper channels, as understood in the biblical context. Sex in the Early Church could only happen two ways - solo masturbation or sexual relations within a marriage between one adult man and one adult woman. This word lifts up all of the sex crime statutes in the Law of Moses, and applies those same laws to today.

The age of consent/marriage should be wherever the age of majority is set, without exception. Children should not be having sex at all. In the biblical context, children were forbidden from having sexual relations with others until they got a license to get married. Marriage in the Early Church was only allowed if there was some significant equality between the two marriage applicants. 

The age of majority can be lowered in a future context. But, I don't advocate for lowering the age of majority for my own purposes, as I am a pedophile, and thus my own judgment is clouded by my sexual desires for children. So, in the mean time, I support raising the age of consent to 18. Once attachment parenting is normalized in American society, we can talk about lowering the age of majority - for them, and not for us adults. Most children raised in attachment parenting homes are ready for the world by the time they are 13. All that tells me is that punitive parenting stunts the growth of children. Whatever happens will be, wherever the ages go. Due to my entitlement in the matter, I leave it to other advocates to advocate a lower age of majority.

I find that the current law on the rape and sexual assault of children to be permissive, at best. Rape and sexual assault towards a child should be a perceived offense. As soon as the child uses the word "creep" in relation to an adult, said adult should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for child sexual abuse. Childhood sexual assault is offensive or procuring behavior by an adult towards a child ranging from leering to rape. I have committed sexual assault against children, in the form of sexual harassment. I deserve prison for the antisocial "flirting" that I did to various child victims, and that means the law needs to change so that sex offenders like I was go to prison. 

I also am opposed to the police allowing for "search party affairs". Any parent who develops parent attraction can simply follow their sexual thoughts for their child to the end using masturbatory fantasy as an alternative outlet. Any sexual relations with a child by an adult over age 18 is child sexual abuse in my book, even if the police allow it.

Fornication comes in three main tiers of severity - rape/sexual assault, fraudulent marriage, and obscenity/pornography. All child sexual abuse is rape or sexual assault of a child. Under Christian law, as soon as a child calls me a "creep" as a pedophile, I am guilty of sexually assaulting a child through sexual harassment. The law should conform to these Christian standards, as we are a Christian nation founded on Judeo-Christian values. 

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

Independence: Why the goal of every parent is independence (not blind obedience)

Many parents want their children to obey them. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents want their children to blindly obey them. However, the fact of the matter is that the Bible prescribes that the main goal of parenting be independence and self-reliance. With that said, the key to healthy independence in children is healthy dependence.

Healthy dependence is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, where children rest securely in the loving arms 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 submission of parents. Children are to rest securely in the sacrifice of parents, just as parent believers rest securely in the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul to lift up the customary law that commands a secure attachment between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to their children as their enemy, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return.

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, but not limited to, any punishments, reprimands, or controlling demeanor towards children. 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 your child as a quartered slave. Paul here was lifting up the Law in order to convict a group of Greek Christian parents who brought their pagan custom of spanking and punishing children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his writings.

Christian parents in the Early Church wanted their children to grow up to be as independent as possible. But, in order for children to embrace healthy independence, they need to embrace healthy dependence. For the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning wherever the mother went, so did her child. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mothers and children were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children cried, mothers picked up the child in skin-on-skin format, then holding the child close to her bosom in mammary closeness. Come nightfall, children retreated to the sustaining warmth of mothers in the form of skin-on-skin co-sleeping. This co-sleeping next to mothers ended for the child once the child reached the onset of puberty, when children wanted a place to sleep on their own. For some reason, sustaining warmth during the first 6 years breeds resiliency in children, so that they may become tough and self-reliant as adults.

In most cases, when children turned age 6, children started to shake off the sustaining warmth of mothers by insisting on doing everything by themselves. Older children played freely, venturing farther and farther from home. Children, in this stage of childhood, ordered parents around, with their parents being in full and dutiful submission to their children. Children continued to retreat to their mothers come nightfall, until they shook off their parents entirely at puberty. Co-sleeping was the last thing a child gave up. Independence, from there, was bittersweet for mothers, and exciting for fathers. Mothers nurtured children up close, and fathers nurtured from afar. Fathers honed in on their nurturing insticts by indulging in masturbatory fantasy about their growing daughters, which centered the parent attraction, with the parent attraction coming out as a male nurturing instinct.

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