The Loving Treatment of Children

Apparently there is a law coming down Bill S-206.  It is a law governing the spanking of children.  A friend asked me to promote the passing of this bill when in fact I am opposed to it.  Here is my response to her.

One should not spank their children. This is barbaric and unnecessary. The problems of today’s liberal youth is not that they were not spanked but that they were not loved. They had no priority in their selfish parents lives. We are given the privilege of caring for Gods children for a time when they are developing physical self sufficiency. They are Gods children and if they were treated that way, if the parents lived in Gods instruction, there would be no need for any form of physical violence. At conception the soul incarnates and is perfect. The soul is then damaged by the parents sin, gestated in the parents sin and then the child is treated unlovingly because of the parents sin. Sin-missing the mark of love. This compounds the sin. Yes the bible says, “spare the rod and spoil the child,” but it also says I can have slaves, sell my sister and beat my wife, values we somehow ignore when it comes to hitting defenceless children because we have not followed God and lost control of our family.  Spanking does not guide the child into any other place than that it is ok to use physical violence under certain circumstances as we falsely believe God has and does. This is the basis of all war. Physical dominance because we as I said falsely believe God is violent against sin.

If one feels they needed to be punished they have already accepted that they are bad. This is their earthly parents sin. Our heavenly parent has no sin and did not spank Adam and Eve. I have communicated with Adam about this. Adam lives in the celestial heavens, one of the places that Marc Brisboise referred to  and Jesus referred to when he said, “In my fathers house there are many mansions”. I had been contemplating fear for a few months. One morning Adam came to me and helped me feel the world that they first knew, a world without fear. It was amazing. Then he led me back to our current level of fear. He said God did not punish them for becoming self aware but their exercise of free will introduced the possibility that they could choose unloving action with painful consequences and they were afraid of that. When God came to help them understand they hid because His presence magnified their fear and shame was born. God did not create us to be obedient in the way animals are obedient. He accepts we will error but the pain of error should be sufficient enough to lead us back to love. When we punish a child with physical violence we pass the fear and shame to the child. Instead of repenting for our sin we pass it to the child and blame is born. We have lost touch with how God guides us because our parents spanked us. Often in anger and violence. God has never been violent towards his children. All references to the contrary are the result not understanding Gods joy at our exercise of his greatest gift, the gift that other non soul based creatures have, the gift of free will.
