Righteous servitude: Why parents are bondservants to their children

Many parents in America view parenting as a "God"-like experience. Modern-day parenting vests a lot of power to parents. Most American parents think that their children serve them. The fact of the matter is that righteous servitude is where parents are servants to child. In biblical times, parents were seen as bondservants, toiling and working for their children, awaiting that lump sum which is the independence of their child.

Righteous servitude is the parents' role in 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 the 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 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, after punishing their children one last time. Parents who punished their child 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 children into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child. The Early Christians shunned the Roman form of domestic corporal punishment known as the scourge of cords - the scourge of cords was used by the Greco-Romans, but not by the Christians among them.

Righteous servitude denotes the true place of parents in relation to their children. Parents were seen merely as bondservants, toiling and working for their children's every vulnerable need, hoping for a lump sum, which is when children are as independent as possible. Parents are to submit to their children fearfully and dutifully, putting children first, and themselves last.

Children were seen in biblical times as the salt and light of the world, sitting high atop a mounted hill, casting high judgment upon adult-kind, discerning the sheep and the goats in terms of how charitable parents and other adults were to children, with children bringing out the best and the worst of adults just by being themselves. Parents owe servitude to children, and while the children live in the family home, parents are under the divine authority of children. 

Children issued lawfully binding orders for parents to follow. During the early years of a child's life - before attaining the age of 6 - children's cries were seen as lawfully binding summonses for nourishment and sustenance from mothers. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mother and child are in the nude next to each other in the family home, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. Older children - aged 6 or older - were very willful, but in a way that shook off the constant closeness of mothers. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mother in skin-on-skin format, with children shaking off even nightly closeness come puberty. 

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 Hell of fire and torment, suffering God's Wrath forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Child punishment: Why punishing children is sin (and what to do instead)

Many parents believe that "God" commands that children be punished every once and a while. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents punish their children once catching them being bad. The fact of the matter is that the Bible teaches that punishing a child is sin.

The prohibition against punitive parenting, and what to do instead, are stated in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; for this is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live 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 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 submit to their 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 other 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 Christians in the parish at Ephesus 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. Contrary to popular belief, the scourge of cords was shunned by the Early Church.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to here, in this context, modeling Christian discipline to children. The Christian standard of discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore 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 children following in the footsteps of parents. Children in biblical times were caught being good, as opposed to being caught being bad. When children were caught emulating the Christian example of their parents, they were lavishly praised and encouraged to "keep headed down the straight path". Boys were given manly praise when caught being good, and girls were given hugs and snuggles when caught being good. Sometimes, children needed direct parental instruction. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the advice and counsel of parents, meaning parents then could only give advice, or else counsel a child when the child was upset. Otherwise, parents were under the divine authority of children until they left the home.

How were children motivated to learn discipline? Children were motivated to learn discipline by way of a secure attachment with parents. 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 were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children cried, mothers cooed while rushing in to pick up the child in skin-on-skin format, then holding the upset child close to her bosom in mammary closeness. When out and about in public, mothers swaddled their children next to her bosom in swaddling blankets. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with mothers breastfeeding their milk-dependent children to sleep. Co-sleeping ended at puberty, when children insisted on sleeping in their own bed. This sort of loving attention, during the formative years of a child's life, prepares children to follow the good example of parents.

Children, once they attained the age of 6, they were handed over to the providing custody of their fathers. Fathers left out a Bible for the child to find, and hopefully be engrossed in. When children were caught reading Scripture and studying it, they were praised lavishly for "reading the good book". Fathers formed a close bond to their children, and did so using righteous masturbation. Righteous masturbation centers the sexual desires of the father in one place, with the attraction then coming out in a male nurturing instinct. Mothers nurture up close, and fathers nurture from afar.

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 forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Respect: Why respect is earned in parenting

Many American parents want respect. Most American parents feel that they are entitled to respect from children. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents demand respect from their children. However, the fact of the matter is that respect is earned in all contexts of life, including the context of parenting.

The Fifth Commandment is repeated 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 submission 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 in between parents and children in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents 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 offensive touch or speech stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen 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.

Respect for parents was a concept for children growing up in the Early Church, but came in the form of closeness and intimacy. For the first 6 years of a child, 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, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children, mothers cooed before picking np the child in skin-on-skin format, and cradling the child next to her bosom in mammary closeness. When mothers were out and about in public, children were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets. Mothers breastfed wherever and whenever the child needed it. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with mothers breastfeeding their milk-dependent children to sleep. Older children who shook off the warmth of mothers played freely outside, after checking in with mom. Children continued to co-sleep next to mothers until the onset of puberty, when children insisted on their own place to sleep.

Children being pampered throughout childhood led to adult children bowing down to parents, and surrendering to the lawful authority of their parents. Most children then had good parents to praise and surrender to with reverent respect. Sometimes, a child was provoked to anger through child abuse, and then, in most cases the young adults shunned their parents, and/or brought their parents before the council, with entitled and abusive parents being excommunicated from the church if they didn't apologize to their child and turn away from their punitive parenting ways. Today, a mother who pampered their children during their formative years can expect obedience and surrender come the teenage years. 

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!

Child crushes: How to deal with crushes on children (and prevent child sexual abuse before it happens)

Child sexual abuse is a real issue facing adults as a whole. 1 in 10 children will be raped or sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday. Most adults blame pedophiles - and pedophiles only - for the rape and sexual assault of children. The rape and sexual assault of children comes from a crush on a child, which all adults are capable of forming under the right/wrong conditions. What should you, as an adult, so when you find yourself attracted to a child.

How does most child sexual abuse occur? Most at-risk adults for raping or sexually assaulting children start out noticing an attraction to children, and then fight it back. They keep fighting back their sexual desires for children until they can no longer. The repressed sexual desires for children then comes out sideways onto the child. The only abusers that divert from this trend are obvious abusers, who sexually harass children on the surface level by approaching then with sexually motivated intent.

Having a crush on a child is not a sin or moral crime. One verse that is commonly misunderstood in the realm of adult attraction to children is Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

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

The Greek root word translated "lust" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, or even sexual desire towards children, but instead to sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. When you are so much in lust with a child that you find yourself taking the first steps to approach them, you have already committed the moral crime of fornication with the child in your heart. When the child perceives your approach, and is either offended or procured by it, you are guilty of the moral crime of adult fornication.

If you don't want to become the next sex offender on the evening news, it is best that you masturbate to all of your sexual thoughts, including your sexual thoughts of children. If you refuse to acknowledge any of your sexual desires through masturbation, it becomes a narcissist. Once you get to the point where you only feel sexually about children in your dreams, you are officially a rapist. It may not come out as rape, but it is sure to come out somehow. Unless you turn away from sexual entitlement and masturbate, you are predestined to become a sexual offender.

Child sexual abuse is a form of abuse that neatly fits into the two categories of rape or sexual assault. Rape/sexual assault is the most severe form of fornication, and is defined as sexually offensive actions ranging from leering to rape. "Sexually offensive" can mean a child either being offended by, or procured by, the sexually motivated approach of adults.

I myself am a pedophilic adult who is deserving of nothing but DEATH and PUNISHMENT merely for existing in relation to children. I was an obvious abuser. I actually believed that a sleepover with a young girl was a possibility, where I could hug and snuggle with her for romantic reasons. I am currently under investigation for antisocial "rough-play" with a female cousin of mine. I am grateful for my child victims forgiving me, as I deserve none of it.

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

Christian attachment parenting: Upholding the Christian tradition of attachment parenting

Many parents think that attachment parenting is banned in the Bible. This is a common attitude towards children by American parents. Most support for punitive parenting is based off of false context about the Bible. The fact of the matter, however, is that the Early Christian context is an attachment parenting context, as well as the Ancient Jewish context as a whole.

Christian attachment parenting is attachment parenting based off of the Early Christian context. The main teaching behind Christian attachment parenting is 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 fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition.

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 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 as the slightest of damages or offenses stemming from hostage-taking - child punishment was seen in biblical times as holding your child 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 in his secular writings. The Early Christians, in fact, shunned the scourge of cords used by broader Greco-Roman society, as well as the 40 minus 1 lashes under the Old Testament law.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers to here, in this context, modeling Christian discipline to children. The Christian standard of discipline is deserving of absolutely nothing, therefore 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. Children in biblical times were caught being good, instead of caught being bad. When children were caught emulating the disciplined example of parents, they were given 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 when caught being good. Sometimes, children needed to hear direct parental instruction. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers to the advice and counsel of parents, meaning that parents could only offer children advice when needed, or else counsel them when upset. Otherwise, parents were under the divine authority of their children, with children issuing lawfully binding orders to parents, with parents being steadfast in their obedience to their children.

What motivates children absorbing the disciplined example of parents? Children are motivated to follow the Christian example of parents by way of a secure attachment. For the first 6 years of a child's life, children were in constant closeness with mothers, meaning that wherever the mother went, the child went also. The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mother and child were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children cried, mothers cooed before picking up the child, then holding the child to her bosom in mammary closeness. When mothers were out and about in public, they swaddled their young children - under age 6 - next to their bosom in swaddling blankets. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, every single night until children reached the onset of puberty, when they wanted their own place to sleep. 

After children attained the age of 6, they were turned over to their father for a religious education. Fathers left out a Bible for the child to find, and get engrossed in. When children were caught reading the family Bible, they were lavishly praised and encouraged in their religious vocation. Fathers formed a bond with the children he was educating, with fathers asking children questions about what they just read. This bond with a child was a sensitive bond, driven by secondary sexual attraction to the child. Fathers indulged in righteous masturbation about their children, which centered the parent attraction and depressed the parental sexual instinct,  with that attraction coming out as a male nurturing instinct. Unlike in surrounding cultures, rape in order to correct erratic behavior in children was banned, meaning fathers were only allowed to masturbate to sexual thoughts about their children, Fathers were a secondary attachment for children, meaning that if children had a secure attachment to their mother, they would develop a secondary secure attachment with their father. Mothers nurture their children up close, and fathers nurture from afar.

Christian attachment parenting is attachment parenting using the Early Christian context as a guide. The Bible is America's book, and tells us as a society how we are supposed to live. The Bible never legitimately commands that parents use any level of force on a child. The rod verses in Proverbs and Hebrews refer to the 40 minus 1 lashes, in figurative tense. The Bible commands parents to have a secure attachment with children, and not to offend or damage children.

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 forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Crying: Why crying is not bad behavior (and what to do about such behavior)

Many parents believe that crying in children, at least past a certain age, is bad behavior. This is a common attitude of American parents towards children. Most American parents punish crying in children, at least some of the time. The fact of the matter, however, is that this sort of parenting is alien to the Bible and its context.

Reassuring crying is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with children surrendering into the loving arms of mothers, with mothers providing nourishment and sustenance to children. See Colossians 3:20-21 KJV: 

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

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and 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. In the Old Testament, punitive parents were put to death 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. The Early Christian church communities prohibited and shunned the scourge of cords used in Roman and Greek homes.

Crying is a normal behavior in children, and is a way that they communicate needs. Mothers in biblical times intuitively knew this, and pampered children when they were upset. Mothers responded to the every cry of their child, and did so by cooing before picking up the child in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy, then holding the child close to her bosom in mammary closeness, so that the child could hear her heartbeat. When mothers were out and about in public, mothers swaddled their young children - under age 6 - in swaddling blankets next to their bosom. When children cried in public, they usually did so softly, and then mothers responded usually by holding the young child closer to her bosom. Children in biblical times were breastfed, including even in public if the mother was called to by the summonses of her child. 

Older children sometimes cried in public. In which case, the mother picked up the child and held the child close to the mother's bosom, with the child tucked into the mother's dress. The idea of skin-on-skin mammary closeness was for children to hear the heartbeat of mothers. This, for some reason known only to God and nature, soothes children when they are upset. With older children, you can have a conversation with them about why they were crying. 

The Early Christians practiced birth nudity, where mother and child were in the nude next to each to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. Children were naked wherever they went. Mothers were naked in the family home as well, in order to serve both her child and her husband, separately. When out and about in public, mothers wore a loose-fitting, revealing dress similar to an apron. Young children under age 6 were wrapped up next to the bosom with the swaddling blankets tied to the left breast, then across the dot to the right leg, or vice versa, or both in the case of twins. Older children were temporarily placed under the dress of mothers. The Early Christian form of birth nudity was a gravy train that never ended for children in the Bible.

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 forever and ever! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Righteous pampering: Why God wants parents to pamper their children

Many parents think it is the irresponsible choice to pamper children. Most American parents do, in fact, pamper their children, but only "once and a while" once "children earned it". Most parents in America want to be seen as strict with their children. The fact of the matter, however, is that this sort of punitive parenting to the Bible and its context. In order to bring up a child that respects you, you need to respect them by pampering them throughout their childhood.

Righteous pampering is a form 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 child 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. 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.

The acronym of righteous pampering means pampering children, not just some of the time, but all of the time. The Bible, when understood in context, calls for a specific type of pampering, done when children are under age 6, and to a certain degree when children were over age 6. During 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 were in the nude next to each other, in skin-on-skin closeness and intimacy. When children were crying or upset, mothers responded to the cries by cooing towards the child, and then holding the child close to her bosom in mammary closeness. When mothers were about and about, children were swaddled next to the bosom of mothers in swaddling blankets. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format. Co-sleeping was always in skin-on-skin format. This skin-on-skin co-sleeping lasted until the child reached the onset of puberty, which was when children wanted a place of their own to sleep.

Pampering children early in life leads to children growing up to reverently respect their parents. After a whole childhood of being pampered by parents, children bowed down to their parents when baptized. Respect for parents is a place children come to once they are young adults, and is a form of thanksgiving for all of the fond memories of being pampered by parents. Sometimes, children were offended or abused by their parents, in which they shunned their parents, or in some cases, even got the parents excommunicated from the church. However, most children in the Early Church had a good childhood, and so they bowed down in gratitude and thanksgiving for the sustaining warmth shown to them throughout childhood.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke 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 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!
