Righteous pampering: Why God wants you to pamper and baby your children

Many parents think that pampering children is the wrong way of parenting. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents are opposed to pampering and babying children. However, the fact of the matter is that, when using the context as a guidepost, that children should be pampered and babied, as opposed to making them learn hard lessons.

The acronym of righteous pampering is part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely on the 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. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46.

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 was 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. The 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 children 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 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Righteous pampering does not refer to any old way of pampering children, but a certain specific way of pampering and babying children, when using the context as a guidepost. For the first 6 years of childhood, children were in constant closeness with mothers, meaning that wherever mom went, so did her child. For the first 2 years of childhood, children were constantly held by mothers, either in her loving arms, or else on mom's back in a papoose bag when her hands were full. Between ages 2-6, children ranged next to mothers, following her around from room to room, not allowing mom out of their sight, morbidly fearing that mom would "go away and never come back". Whenever children cried, mom cooed before picking up the child, and then, from there, she diagnosed the need and then met it. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period. When mothers and children under age 6 were out and about, mom wrapped up her child next to her bosom in swaddling blankets, with the swaddling blankets - and the child with them - tucked underneath the loose-fitting, revealing dress worn by mothers that resembled an apron. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to mothers in skin-on-skin format, with this co-sleeping warmth happening every night, until the onset of puberty, which is when children usually wanted their own place to sleep. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the confines of the family home. This birth nudity setup helped facilitate easy skin-on-skin contact with mothers, with children getting skin-on-skin sustaining warmth even when being picked up. 

After turning age 6, children played freely outside, naked. Children explored the terrain, venturing farther and farther from home, playing high-risk games such as "marriage". However, children had to check in with mom, telling her where they were going. Come evening, children were called by name, one by one, and were fed a warm, homecooked meal on a porcelain plate. Then, children crashed into bed with mom, with children recharging for another day's play.

Children under age 6 were very much protected in biblical times, but in a sheltered way. Children under age 6 were incapable of appreciating the dangers of playing outside. The dangers that existed then included venomous snakes and scorpions, with there being no antivenom then. However, even today, there exist dangers outside, namely busy streets and child kidnappers. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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 punishment: Why punitive parenting is banned in the Bible

Many parents think that the Bible is a pro-spanking document. Most American parents use the Bible as an excuse for punishing children. However, the fact of the matter is that the Bible forbids parents from using punitive methods in parenting.

The Greek root word denoting parental entitlement is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and is defined as, officially speaking, wanting things from children, to the point of imposition. Unofficially speaking, parental entitlement is an adult being sorely disappointed when they don't get what they feel they deserve from children. Adults are deserving of absolutely nothing from children just for existing. All adult anger on the part of parents or other adults was counted as parental entitlement in adults. This sense of entitlement in adults, when perceived by a child as offensive or damaging, was deemed child abuse. See also Colossians 3:21 KJV:

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

The Greek root word translated "provoke...to anger" is ερεθιζο (Latin: erethizo) and refers to damages or offenses, namely the slightest of personal offense perceived by a child, including, but not limited to, the slightest of offensive touch or speech perceived by a child, stemming from entitlement. This commandment was intended by the Apostle Paul, and was understood in its original context, as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, 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. The 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 into the church. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon. 

Children in biblical times were not punished for anything. In fact, any anger towards a child was seen as coming from entitlement then. Adult anger was seen as akin to a viper striking out against a child. Child punishment was definitely seen as akin to viper striking out against an unsuspecting child. All forms of punitive parenting was banned in the Early Church,

The word "fathers" simply refers to the fact that fathers were the head of household in biblical times. However, most of the time, both parents were charged .Many times, the mother was a co-defendant before the council. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through puntive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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! Respect, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Child discipline: How to discipline your child the right way (meaning without punishment or force)

Many parents want children to have discipline. This is a common desire on the part of parents. Most American parents support the concept of child discipline. However, most parents think that punishment is appropriate discipline for a child. However, the fact of the matter is that proper discipline involves children being caught being good.

The concept of proper child discipline is spelled out in 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 to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and submission of parents. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to their children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46.

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 as a moral statute prohibiting all forms of punitive parenting, including, but not limited to, any punishment, 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. The 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 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers here to gently melding the countenance of a child. In light of stanza 1 of Eph. 6:4, this melding of the countenance can only mean one thing - lavishly praising and encouraging children when caught in the act of good behavior. Whenever children were caught in the act of being good, they were praised and encouraged with statements such as "keep headed down the straight path". Children ultimately learned good traits through the Christian example of parents. However, this good example was backed up by praise and encouragement, not punishment and force. Children also need religious instruction, as religion is a human need for children and adults alike. The Greek root word translated "admonition" is νουθεσία (Latin: nouthesia) and refers here to self-directed religious instruction. This religious instruction, in biblical times, started out with fathers leaving out a Bible for children to discover and explore. When children were caught in the act of studying the Bible, they were lavishly praised and encouraged with statements such as "that book is good for you". From there, religious instruction came in question and answer format. Children were eager to learn the facts of life, with fathers being quick to give pointers on the context. Today, children also have the Internet to lean on for religious learning. This religious instruction, and the lavish praise and encouragement that came with it, centered the countenance of children, with this centered countenance being the ultimate goal of Judeo-Christian parenting.

Children were only disciplined in Bible when caught in the act of being good, meaning usually self-controlled. Most of the time, when children were caught being "naughty", parents laughed it off. When parents were hurt by the actions of their children, they cried alongside their children. Most childhood behaviors are developmentally appropriate given the age and development of a child, with parents in biblical times knowing this intuitively.

Children, for the first 6 years of childhood, were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever mom went, so did her child. For the latter half of childhood, children ran around and played freely, exploring the terrain, venturing farther and farther from home, playing high-risk games such as "marriage". Children up until the age of majority went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the confines of the family home. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to wrath through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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!

Children self-protect, adults abstain: Individual responsibility for adults attracted to children

Many parents think that pedophiles are a risk to children. This is a common belief amongst American parents. Most adults claim innocence in relation to children, and blame their political opponents for being "pedophiles". However, the fact of the matter is that every single adult is guilty in relationship to children merely for existing. Children have the right to protect themselves from sexual abuse, with all adults having the individual responsibility to abstain from child sexual abuse.

Most adults are more at-risk for sexually abusing a child than pedophiles. Most child sexual abuse comes from a secondary attraction to children that the abuser denies. Most sexual abusers deny their sex drive towards children by refusing to masturbate to sexual thoughts of children.

Sexual abuse comes from a criss-cross sexual dynamic in the family home. Fathers usually are attracted to their daughters, in a mutually unrequited fashion. Most boys are attracted to their mother, but usually as a dead end. Most child sexual abuse follows this primal pattern of rape that is a mainstay of out peacekeeping past.

The Greek root word denoting lust in the Bible is έπιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, but instead sexual entitlement. Sexual entitlement is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of sexually motivated approach. It is okay to look the look, and then think the think later. But, there is a big difference between thinking the think and doing the deed. At minimum, the deed to be avoided is flirting or propositioning a minor child. However, any touching anywhere on a child's body for sexual reasons is also doing the deed. 

Children have the right to protect themselves from child sexual abuse, like only they can. Children, in most cases, refuse to go with an adult who poses a threat to children. When a child does want to go with the adult in question, think pedophile, but the right kind. Children almost always want to go with the pedophile, so that excuses that group of adults.

Most child sexual abuse happens not to young children, but to teenage girls. Being a pubescent child is a sensitive time in a child's lifetime, and it is sexually threatening to most adults. This alone is a recipe for disaster. The only way out is in - meaning the righteous masturbation about children. The idea is to go as low as you can in terms of age of fantasies, and then spend it away until it is all spent out. Then, the responsible choice would be to tend to that fantasy on occasion.

I myself am one of the more high-risk type of pedophile. Some abusers are pedophiles, bucking the trend, and I am one of them. I myself am an obvious abuser, meaning I made my crushes obvious to the child victim. It is good to identify as a pedophile, but it is not good to make your crushes obvious. I myself was fixated on a specific child, meaning one at a time, like train cars - and everyone around me hoped for the caboose. However, only 1 out of 4 pedophiles sexually abuse children. But, if you want to know which pedophiles are at risk, think mainly the little kind that is impulsive around children. Some pedophiles are in total denial of their pedophilia, in which case they make up a small minority of pedophiles. All abuser pedophiles such as me have the moral obligation to atone for the sin list that we have in relation to children. 

Most pedophiles are the last adults to sexually abuse a child. A pedophile is always aware of their desires towards children. Most sexually entitled adults are instead unaware of their sexual drive for children until it comes out sideways onto the child, like a ton of bricks. However, child sexual abuse is ultimately a lifestyle choice, as all an adult needs to do is masturbate to sexual thoughts of children. If you can be honest about those desires without jinxing yourself, you are not a threat to anyone. If you only have wet dreams about children, you might be a rapist, especially if your child's nudity threatens you. 

All adults have something to atone for in relation to children. Even if your atonement is simply being at-risk for sexually abusing children, you have something to atone for. Most adults have a sin list a mile long in relation to children, yet they blame their neighbor over themselves. Usually, adults are guilty of punishment of a child in some form, which can come in sexual format. I myself didn't ever punish a child, but I do hold onto blame for being called "creep" by a child. I might be earning my keep, gauging by how children want to go with me, but I don't say for sure. Most children are not afraid of me, but that is because of work I have done on myself. I still hold onto my sin list in relation to children, as a reminder of what not to do in relation to children. I was not always mister nice guy around children. I have a long track record of wronging and abusing children. 

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 prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!

Time-in: Why mammary closeness is the biblical way of doing time-in

Many parents these days are switching to time-out over spanking or other forms of punishment. Most parents oppose time-in as a means of dealing with a crying or upset child. There are many ways to do time-in. However, the fact of the matter is that there is one biblical way of doing time-in, when using the context as a guidepost.

Time-in is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:34-40, 25:31-46.

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 was 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. The parents who punished their children were charged with kidnapping, with "kidnapping" being defined under the Law as the slightest of 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 their children one last time. Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any and all punishment of a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

There are many ways to do time-in. However, only one method is biblical - mammary closeness. Whenever children cried, mothers cooed before picking up the child. From there, mom diagnosed the need, then meeting that need. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period.

Mothers usually gave skin-on-skin comfort to children when they cried. This skin-on-skin mammary closeness usually came in the form of birth nudity between mother and child. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers going naked in the confines of the family home. Children, when they were tired, they were co-snuggled next to mom in skin-on-skin format, in skin-on-skin mammary closeness.

A big part of mammary closeness is breastfeeding. Whenever children were milk-hungry, they cried out loud for mothers to attend to them. Most of the time, breastfeeding ended at age 2, which was when the child rejected the teat of the mother. However, some of the time, breastfeeding didn't end until age 6 or even later. Christian mothers in the Early Church were allowed to breastfeed anywhere when called to do so, including in public. 

Most men sexualize the bosom of women. However, the bosom of mothers was not intended primarily as something to sexualize, but instead is a way for mothers to nurture children. Skin-on-skin mammary closeness is a short way into attachment parenting. Once you as a mother snuggle up next to your child in skin-on-skin format, you will regret doing it sooner. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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!

Mutual respect: Why respect is earned in parenting

Many parents feel entitled to respect in the context of parenting. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents insist on some level of respect from their children. However, the fact of the matter is that parents need to earn the respect they want from their children.

The concept of mutual respect is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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. This word ultimately refers to 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 just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46.

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 was 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. The 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 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. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as a deacon.

Respect for parents was a concept in biblical times. However, this respect came in the form of closeness to parents, not fear of parents. For the first 6 years of childhood, children were in constant closeness to mothers, meaning that wherever mom went, so did her child. For the first 2 years of childhood, children were constantly held by mothers, either in her loving arms, or else on mom's back in a papoose bag when her hands were full. Between ages 2-6, children ranged next to mothers, following mom around from room to room, not allowing mom out of their line of sight, morbidly fearing that mom would "go away and never come back". Whenever children cried, mothers cooed at their children, putting children at ease before picking them up, and then from there, she diagnosed the need and then met it. Maybe the child was tired. Maybe the child was hungry. Maybe the child needed mom's milk. Maybe the child needed mom, period. When children under age 6 were out and about with mothers, mom wrapped them up in swaddling blankets, with the swaddling blankets - and the child with them - being tucked underneath the loose-fitting, revealing dress that resembled an apron. Come nightfall, children co-slept next to their parents in skin-on-skin format, with this co-sleeping happening every night, until the onset of puberty, which is when children wanted their own place to sleep. Children went naked wherever they went, with mothers also going naked within the confines of the family home. This birth nudity helped facilitate skin-on-skin contact, with these rays of skin-on-skin warmth happening even when children were being picked up.

Respect for parents might happen in an attachment parenting home in a way you might be surprised by. Most children who have a secure attachment with parents cry and tantrum a lot for the first 6 years. After age 6, children were in constant closeness to mothers, in a cooperative way. Most attachment parented children are compliant in an affectionate way after age 6. The first 6 years are the most challenging, and then the rest is easy from there. 

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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 co-sleeping: Why God wants parents to sleep next to their children

Many parents think that co-sleeping is the wrong thing to do. This is a common attitude amongst American parents. Most American parents insist that children sleep in their own bed. However, righteous co-sleeping is a time-honored method of gelling a bond with your child. Co-sleeping also has the potential to prevent child sexual abuse.

The doctrine of righteous co-sleeping is a part of the Christian doctrine of mutual submission, with the burden of proof falling squarely onto 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. This word ultimately refers to a secure attachment between parent and child in the family home. This secure attachment comes from parent submission, where parents are to submit to children just as they would to God, from beneath yet from above, expecting absolutely nothing in return. See also Matt. 22:35-40, 25:31-46.

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 was 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.

Paul, contrary to popular legend, was anti-spanking, and opposed any punishment towards a child in his secular writings. Paul may not have gotten along with the women of the church, but he sure loved children, and even took in a few orphaned children during his time as deacon.

It is common knowledge that children under age 6 often refuse to go to bed on their own. Bedtime is a common excuse for punishing children, with children left to cry it out. However, the fact of the matter is that children under age 6 are not ready to sleep on their own. Children under age 6 have primal fears of being isolated in a room all by themselves, with the child being morbidly afraid of being devoured by predators. Parents may think that there are no predators in the household. They would be wrong. The most common form of child sexual abuse is a bedtime ritual, where the parent sneaks into the child's bed and rapes the child. However, in a co-sleeping setup, nothing can happen, because mom is right there. In the Early Church, mothers lay down in between father and child, perhaps using herself as a human shield if the father wanted to rape the children.

The most common excuse not to co-sleep next to your child comes from fearmongering on the part of pediatricians and mental health professionals serving children with terms such as "sleep dependence". The fact of the matter is that co-sleeping in biblical times in most cases ended at the onset of puberty, which is when children usually wanted their own place to sleep. Even when children co-sleep past puberty, co-sleeping always has an end to it. I co-slept next to my mother until I turned 16, which is when I decided to sleep on my own, wanting to prove my independence. First, mom slept beside me on the floor, and then the next night she slept in her own bed, and me on my own bed.

Co-sleeping is the ultimate way to gel a bond with your child. Co-sleeping is the centerpiece of the mutual submission relationship between parent and child. The family bed in biblical times was completely nude in terms of makeup, with children being breastfed until age 2 in most cases, but sometimes not until age 6 or beyond.

The depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger through punitive parenting will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them be cast forever 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!
