Christian parenting

Good evening Zig Forums

My God given purpose is to become a father, embody the father figure to the best of my human abilities for my own children as well as to others, be the best possible father in acts and deeds, and as such have as many children as possible. This is a fate which was given to me by God himself, and this is the deepest secret and meaning to my life which due to it's nature I never share, likely will not again for a long time after I've posted this. I'm a very young man and I still have a lot of time to arrange for these things, but I realize the dangers as well as the rewards regarding such a clear cut purpose and ideal. Much can still go wrong, naturally, but I am a human with a goal for which I would destroy my own body. I hope all of you may find the same some day.

Now, among you I know are shitposters and memelords but I know also there's a lot of smart goys and goirls who would, as far as literature, psychology, even basic theology know a lot more than myself, and Yes, of course, I've embarked on finding more out myself but I simply want to start on this corner of the internet as well, seeing as this is such a humongous issue in today's world, and probably affects every single one of us to some extent. I would like to find as many possible resources as possible on the issue of parenting and fatherhood in particular, though obviously not exclusively. My question for you is do you have ANY book or article or tale or anecdote or advice AT ALL regarding the subject, ANY book relevant to it which would fit our common Chistian and relatively conservative sense of justice, ANY book at all, whether it be one entirely devoted to parenting or a work of fiction which you just so happen to know carries weight or an interesting perspective. The former would be the jackpot, of course, to add to my list but anything will do. I sincerely apologize for the long post but I believe it may help all of us and isn't given enough attention, even here, to offset the attention this issue deserves in regards to the world around us. Also, I know many of you believe you never will have a wife and family of your own due to your status or your posting on Zig Forums or whatever, but I hope I need not remind you what an insanely useful tool, no matter how dark it may get, this thing of instant global information spreading in which you are educated is. And that no matter what ANYONE tells you, the old "modern" world's system of class is dying, the old way of thinking about people in groups applies less and less, and that many people who are browsing this site are not at all whom you expect to be. Many of them are, yes, but many of them aren't. You must remember that anything denouncing something as simple as this is not part of the current reality, that the legacy system of people who fit entirely in such groups is on the way out, as the world unravels more and more, becomes less and less cohesive, societal judgement becomes less than meaningless, and only you become the one who is trusted with how you spend your time and mental energy. To despair and believe otherwise is simply not Christian.

That, and that whether you are an "incel" or a "chad" you are still a human being with your own life in your own ever responsible hands. Think about it logistically. What are you going to do instead, not the best you can? We all have a job to do, this is mine. Maybe it's yours too, think about it. Sorry for the tangent but I really hope to relieve any damaging preconcieved notions so as not to have any blackpilled stuff create noise in the communication of something like this.

i don't think i could ever have a family the way the country is now. i'd love to just buy a piece of land, build a house, get some farm animals and have 10 kids, but they don't allow this anymore. they'll come and take your kids away by force if you try, there is no such thing as religious liberty anymore. so yeah, i'll probably end up trying to overthrow the government.

Well, I have 6 children ranging in ages from 18 months to 20 years. Did you have any specific questions?

how did the government not take them away?

Lesson one: learn brevity
Here's how you should have started your thread:
"What's the best way to be a Christian father?"


Defeatist loser
Not even accurate

You are absolutely allowed to do just that in the US

maybe if you jump through a million government loops, you can. also there's the fact that the government is pure evil and i can't justify giving them any money to fund mass baby genocide. it needs to be stopped

Go outside dude
Maybe you just live in a nanny state like California instead of Idaho or Texas

Why would the government take them away?

Uh, no they won't. Where are you getting your information?

A million government loopholes it is.

I suppose how did you come to the majority of your abilities as a father today and what would you leave a younger version of yourself with?

You'd be surprised at how much of it just comes naturally. It's best to not overthink things.
I guess I'd tell myself to calm down and don't sweat the small stuff. Your kids will mess up from time to time, but you want them to be able to come to you in times of error. If they're afraid of you or afraid of communicating with you, then no problems will ever get solved. We're here to teach them, not to force them to hide from you and teach themselves. Jesus forgives all transgressions just for the asking and we are commanded to do the same. Imagine being too afraid to ask Jesus for forgiveness.

How would I sleep at night knowing that my greatgrandchildren are almost certain to be apostates?
Can someone explain to me why I'm wrong? I know with my Heart I am, but I can't put it into words.

my dad gave me a copy of this book when i was about 16 to explain what being a man was all about (funny really, would have been nice if he could have told me directly but whatever). I can't remember much of it except that the author wasn't a fan of the tie as a symbol of modern conformity and what it represents being constricting for healthy masculinity, and that girls need to feel chased. Would like to read it again all these years later, although clearly not too big an impression was made by reading it due to succummbing to stanard modern ways of chasing porn drugs sex parties etc. as a young adult and am still a sorry failure of a man with a lot of room for improvement as someone nearing 30 smh.

Boomer

I'll probably won't get children but you never know but anyway. Anyone know aby good conservative parenting book on how to raise children? Sadly i don't know how to because i am from a liberal secular family myself. Also how you raise your children conservative without them hating you or going rebellious in their teens?

No, my parents are Boomers. I'm Gen X.

From what ive seen, firmly tell them right from wrong, but don't be a totalitarian dick about it.

You'll end up with a sheltered, neurotic kid.

Which part exactly?

My girlfriend and I don’t want kids for many reasons (can’t afford, don’t want to send another soul to hell, don’t want to pass on mental illnesses, ultimately think the world is too corrupted)

Last night I told my pastor this during confession, and he said “that’s unfortunate, because it sounds like you’re saying ‘the corrupted world has won.’ Having a child would be a defiance, a victory over Satan and the world.”

Is he right? Am I wrong to have never wanted kids? Does Matthew 19:12 not apply to this?

Yes, he is.

Yes you are not a boomer despite your whitehair and wrinkled skin.

I'm only 45. No white hair, no wrinkles. A "boomer" is from a very specific generation and most of them are in their 70s-80s. You don't get to just make up definitions for established words.

Your giving up on this is like a prayer to the devil in whispering form.

I assume we're all on board with smackin your discepline as per proverbs?

smackin your kids for discepline
To add, not in the form of wanton violence, obviously, but for their own correction in calm, controlled manner, on the butt, ensuring they know why they're getting it and that as a parent you're not enjoying seeing them writhe or cry from the sting but that you're doing it because you love them and they need to endure the consequences of their actions.

Who else here was smacked or not growing up?

I was not smacked growing up and I do not smack my children.

why not (to the latter part of your response - not asking you to justify your parents actions)? Are you familiar with proverbs 23: 13 - 14? or 13:24 for that matter.

for

Because it is unnecessary.
Those are not commandments and, thus, are not obligatory. While sometimes useful, the Proverbs are basically King Solomon's fortune cookies.

Reminder that physically abusing your children is sinful and that the image of you using your power to hit your defenceless child will be ingrained in his mind forever which will cause him to love you less than he would've if it weren't and it will remain a traumatic dark experience of his life whether in the future he pretends that "it isn't a big deal" or not.

May God have mercy on your soul if you're the abuser and believe "it isn't a big deal".
