The Child's "Why?" In Response To The Father's Command.

by
Dean Gotcher

"Why?" the child contentiously retorted against his father, i.e., his father's command (that he could not go out and play with his friends). It is in the child's "Why?" that the child's carnal nature, i.e., his carnal desires of the 'moment,' , i.e., his "self interests," i.e., "his lust of the flesh" ("sensuous needs," i.e., "I will just die if I can't go out."), "his lust of the eyes" ("sense perception," i.e., "There is nothing wrong with my friends."), and "his pride of life" ("sense experience," i.e., "I won't do anything wrong." i.e., "I know right from wrong." "You don't trust me." "You don't understand." "That's not fair." "You're being unreasonable.") are made manifest, not only in his verbal expression (tone of voice) but in his bodily expressions (body language) as well. This is not a "Why?" in response to a fact or truth being taught such as: "Birds fly." "Why?" "Because they have wings?" "Why?" "Because God created them that way." "Why?" etc., it is a "Why?" in response to a command or rule that is inhibiting or blocking, i.e., preventing the child from "enjoying" the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world ("the group," the situation, etc.,) is stimulating.

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1 John 2:16

The Father loves the child while hating it when he does wrong, chastening him that he might learn humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth. The child, on the other hand, loving the pleasures of the 'moment,' hates not only missing out on the carnal pleasure(s) of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, but the Father as well, for getting in his way. He can not separate the two.

By making "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., "human nature," i.e., the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's "self interest," i.e., the child's behavior a "science," i.e., academics it is 'justified,' negating the father's/Father's authority in the process. Science can only recognize that which is of the world, i.e., the child's carnal nature, i.e., the child's "lust" for the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' and the world that stimulates it.

"Sense experience must be the basis of all science." "Science is only genuine science when it proceeds from sense experience, in the two forms of sense perception and sensuous need, that is, only when it proceeds from Nature." (Karl Marx, MEGA I/3)

"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions [Gr, antithesis] of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith." 1 Timothy 6:20, 21

In so called "science" ("behavior science") it is the child's carnal nature, i.e., "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" that becomes the focus, i.e., the 'drive' and the 'purpose' of life (education, i.e., academics), making the father's/Father's authority the enemy, what needs to be negated (if the child is to become "normal," i.e., "of and for" his "self"), called "the negation of negation." Therefore, in this way of 'reasoning,' i.e., in dialectic 'reasoning,' i.e., 'reasoning' from and through dialogue, i.e., from and through your "feelings," being "rational," i.e., "reasonable," i.e., "understanding" resides in the child's carnal nature, i.e., in the child's love of pleasure, i.e., in the child's "self interest," i.e., in that which is "positive" (to the child) which is being stimulated by the world, not in the Father's authority, i.e., in that which is "negative" (to the child), preventing, i.e., inhibiting or blocking him from having "relationship" with that which engenders pleasure in him, i.e., in that which is of the world.

"To enjoy the present reconciles us to the actual." (Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy of Right')

"Self-actualization," i.e., enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates, without having a guilty conscience for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning (which the father's/Father's authority engenders) requires the negation of the Father's authority, i.e., the negation of that which is "negative" (to "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," i.e., to "human nature," i.e., to the child, i.e., to the child's carnal nature, i.e., to the child's "self interest"). "Self-actualization" requires the negation of that which prevents the child from becoming his "self," i.e., the negation of that which inhibits or blocks the child from becoming of the world only, i.e., the father's/Father's authority.

"It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jeremiah 10:23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21

"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." "For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." John 5:19, 30; 12:47-50

"For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." Matthew 12:50

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

Psychology defends the child's "Why?" (in response to the father's command or rule), demanding the father suspend, as upon a cross, his authority—his 1) preaching of commands and rules to be obeyed as given, his teaching of facts and truth to be accepted as is, by faith, his discussing any question the child might have regarding his commands, rules, facts, and truth, at his discretion, providing he deems it necessary, he has time, the child is capable of understanding, and is not questioning, challenging, defying, disregarding his authority, his 2) rewarding the child who obeys in order to encourage them to continue to obey, his 3) chastening the child who disobeys that he might learn to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline his "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do right and not wrong according to established commands, rules, facts, and truth, accepting his authority, and his 4) casting out (expelling) any child who questions, challenges, defies, disregards, attacks his authority—in order (as in "new" world order) to respond to the child's "Why?"—through dialogue negating his authority, i.e., his God given right to say "Because I said so," i.e., "It is written." It is not that you do not, as a parent, dialogue with your children, you do when it comes to informal things (their and your likes and dislikes). But when it comes to doing right and not wrong (formal things), any question(s) they might have must come through discussion, retaining your authority as their parent. Any effort on their part to get you into dialogue (regarding a command or rule, i.e., doing right and not wrong according to established commands or rules) with their insistent "Why?" (there is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, only the child's carnal desires), you must respond with "Because I said so," i.e., "It is written" or you abdicate your authority to the carnal nature of the child, i.e., to that which is of the world only.

"Prior to therapy the person is prone to ask himself, 'What would my parents want me to do?' During the process of therapy the individual come to ask himself, 'What does it mean to me?'" (Carl Rogers, on becoming a person: A Therapist View of Psychotherapy)

Psychology is antithetical to the Father's authority—making the Father's commands, rules, facts, and truth subject to the child's/man's "feelings," i.e., opinion. The first psychologist hung his "shingle" out in the garden in Eden. Rejecting the truth, i.e., the authority of God "the Father," "helping" two "children" in the garden 'discover' the 'truth' through their "sensuous needs," "sense perception," and "sense experience," i.e., "the lust of the flesh," "the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" instead, he made their opinion the means to knowing the 'truth' (which is subjective, i.e., subject to their carnal nature and the world that stimulates it). He became their "savior" in their eyes. Even today he remains a "savior" to psychiatrists, 'redeeming' their "self" (and all who follow them) from the Father's authority (negating accountability before God in their thoughts and actions), 'reconciling' themselves (and all who follow them) to their "self" and the world only (even doing so in the name of the Lord). Even though psychiatrists (as the serpent) have no legs to stand on, they continue to be the "professional" (the expert seducer, deceiver, and manipulator) who men turn to (even in the "church"), to 'justify' their carnal nature, i.e., their carnal desires of the 'moment,' i.e., their "lust of the flesh," their "lust of the eyes," and their "pride of life."  Psychology has been the curse of the nation. Question the praxis of psychology, even in the "church" and you will quickly learn just how intoxicated with, addicted to, and possessed by it people ("Christians") have become, defending it at all cost, "rending" you if you question it, i.e., if you get in their way. 'Justifying' their "self," i.e., their "lust of the flesh," "lust of the eyes," and "pride of life" they have rejected the Father's authority, negating the guilty conscience (which the father's/Father's authority engenders) in the process, so they can do wrong, disobey, sin with impunity.

"And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15

"The heart is deceitful above all things [thinking pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the father's/Father's will, i.e., having to set aside your carnal desires of the 'moment,' i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's/Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according the father's/Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth], and desperately wicked [hating the father's/Father's authority that "gets in the way," i.e. that prevents, i.e., inhibits or blocks you from enjoying the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' that the world stimulates]: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 You can not see your "self interest," which includes your hate of restraint, as being evil, i.e., "wicked" ("desperately wicked") because your love of pleasure ("self interest"), getting in the way, blinds you to it. Like a drug, pleasure (dopamine emancipation), i.e., "self interest" which the world stimulates blinds you to your hatred toward restraint, i.e., blinds you to your "wickedness" which is being expressed toward those who are preventing (or trying to prevent) you from having access to the drug, i.e., to pleasure (dopamine emancipation) when you are doing wrong, disobeying, sinning—making you not just wicked but "desperately wicked" in your effort to attain it, keep it, or get it back.

"Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." Jeremiah 17:5

Apply psychology in the classroom (even in the "church," i.e., the "youth group") and it has the same affect upon the children, 'liberating' them from their parent's authority.

"There are many stories of the conflict and tension that these new practices are producing between parents and children." (David Krathwohl, Benjamin S. Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives Book 2: Affective Domain) All teachers are certified and schools are accredited today based upon their use of what are called "Bloom's Taxonomies" (as their curriculum) in the classroom ("a psychological classification system"), 'liberating' children from their parent's (the father's/Father's) authority (system), calling the "group grade" classroom "education" aka "academics."

Karl Marx, as did Sigmund Freud, knew that before you could have "worldly peace and socialist harmony" the father's authority in the home had to be negated.

"Once the earthly family [with children having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order (as in "old" world order) to do the father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according to the father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth] is discovered to be the secret of the Holy family [with the Son humbling, denying, dying to, controlling, disciplining his "self" in order to do the Father's will, i.e., in order to do right and not wrong according to the Father's established commands, rules, facts, and truth], the former [the earthly father's authority, i.e., the system itself with children having to trust in (have faith in) and obey the father (their parents), their teacher, the laws of the land, etc.,] must then itself be destroyed [vernichtet, i.e., annihilated, i.e., negated] in theory and in practice [in the children's thoughts as well as in their actions—resulting in children no longer "fellowshipping" with one another based upon the father's/Father's (their parents/God's) commands, rules, facts, and truth but, through dialogue, "building relationship" with one another based upon their carnal nature, i.e., their carnal desires, i.e., their "self interests," i.e., their "lusts" of the 'moment,' 'creating' a "new" world order where the child's carnal nature rules without parental restraint]." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis #4)

"'It is not really a decisive matter whether one has killed one's father or abstained from the deed,' if the function of the conflict and its consequences are the same [the father no longer exercises his authority or has authority over his children in the home, forcing them to do right and not wrong according to his established commands, rules, facts, and truth that go against their nature, i.e., their carnal desires of the 'moment,' that the world stimulates]." Sigmund Freud's history is of civilization (what he based psychology on) is that of children who, loving the pleasures of the 'moment,' what he called "incest," hating the father's/Father's authority (restraint), what he called a "barrier to incest," not only "killed" the father but ate ("devoured") him as well. "... the hatred against patriarchal suppression—a 'barrier to incest,' ... the desire (for the sons) to return to the mother culminates in the rebellion of the exiled sons, the collective killing and devouring of the father." (Sigmund Freud in Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization: a psychological inquiry into Freud) According to Sigmund Freud, children, having been cast out by the father for their carnal behavior ("incest"), united as one—in consensus "killing and devouring" the father/Father, negating the father's/Father's authority from the face of the earth—so they could be their "self," i.e., "of and for self" and the world only. There is no father's/Father's authority in dialogue, in the langue of psychology (focus on the "family," with its "estates and distinctions" is antithetical to the father's/Father's authority—with the father, through dialogue becoming "equal" with the children, abdicating his authority regarding right and wrong behavior). While discussion, i.e., the language of the father/Father is either-or, right-wrong, absolute ("Because I said so," "It is written"), inhibiting or blocking 'change,' dialogue, i.e., the child's "Why?" (in response to the father's/Father's command), i.e., the language of the child is situational, relative ("I think," "I feel"), i.e., is readily adaptable to 'change' according to the child's carnal desires of the 'moment' that the world (situation) stimulates. There is only the carnal nature, i.e., desires and dissatisfactions of the child, i.e., a spectrum from "most 'liked' to least 'liked'" (loved-hated), i.e., opinion, i.e., subjective 'truth,' which the world stimulates in communication/language today, 'liberating' the child/man from the language of the father/Father, .i.e., established commands, rules, facts, and truth, i.e., objective truth, i.e., doing right and not wrong which the child hates when it gets in his way (blocking or cutting off his language of dialogue, i.e., the language of "self" 'justification').

"Third-Force psychology is also epi-Marxian in these senses, i.e., including the most basic scheme as true-good social conditions [an environment void of the father's/Father's authority where children can "actualize" their "self" without fear of judgment or condemnation] are necessary for personal growth, bad social conditions [where children have to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline their "self" in order to do the father's/Father's aka their parents will] stunt human nature,... This is to say, one could reinterpret Marx into a self-actualization-fostering Third- and Fourth-Force psychology-philosophy. And my impression is anyway that this is the direction in which they are going now." "The whole discussion becomes species-wide, One World." "This is a realistic combination of the Marxian version & the Humanistic. (Better add to definition of "humanistic" that it also means one species, One World.)" (Maslow, Journals)

"To experience Freud is to partake a second time of the forbidden fruit;" (Brown, Life Against Death)

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:3, 4

"The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." Psalms 36:1-4

It is in the child's "Why?" in response to the father's command or rule that 'change,' i.e., negation of the father's/Father's authority is initiated. Discussion or "Because I said so," i.e., "It is written" (in response) sustains the father's/Father's authority. Dialogue negates it.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverb. 3: 5-6

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:1, 6

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians. 2:8, 9

"For we walk by faith, not by sight:" II Corinthians 5:7

If you continue to dialogue with your "self," i.e., continue to be "proud in heart" ("uncircumcised in heart"), 'justifying' your "self" before your "self," and before others (with them supporting i.e., affirming you, which includes psychiatrists, facilitators of 'change,' etc.,) after the father's/Father's "Because I said so." i.e., "It is written" then you are no different than the children of Israel murmuring against God in the wilderness, facing judgment.

"Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil." Proverbs 16:5-6

Facilitators of 'change,' i.e., psychologists, i.e., behavioral "scientists," i.e., "group psychotherapists," i.e., Marxists (Transformational Marxists)—all being the same in method or formula—are using the dialoguing of opinions to a consensus (affirmation) process, i.e., dialectic 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings" of the 'moment,' i.e., from/through their "lust" for pleasure and their hate of restraint, in the "light" of their desire for group approval, i.e., affirmation and fear of group rejection) in the "group grade," "safe zone/space/place," "Don't be negative, be positive," soviet style, brainwashing (washing the father's/Father's authority from the children's thoughts and actions, i.e., "theory and practice," negating their having a guilty conscience, which the father's/father's authority engenders, for doing wrong, disobeying, sinning in the process—called "the negation of negation" since the father's/Father's authority and the guilty conscience, being negative to the child's carnal nature, is negated in dialogue—in dialogue, opinion, and the consensus process there is no father's/Father's authority), inductive 'reasoning' ('reasoning' from/through the students "feelings," i.e., their natural inclination to "lust" after the carnal pleasures of the 'moment'—dopamine emancipation—which the world stimulates, i.e., their "self interest," i.e., their "sense experience," selecting "appropriate information"—excluding, ignoring, or resisting, i.e., rejecting any "inappropriate" information, i.e., established command, rule, fact, or truth that gets in the way of their desired outcome, i.e., pleasure—in determining right from wrong behavior), "Bloom's Taxonomy," "affective domain," French Revolution (Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité) classroom "environment" in order (as in "new" world order) to 'liberate' children from parental authority, i.e., from the father's/Father's authority system (the Patriarchal Paradigm)—seducing, deceiving, and manipulating them as chickens, rats, and dogs, i.e., treating them as natural resource ("human resource") in order to convert them into 'liberals,' socialists, globalists, so they, 'justifying' their "self" before one another, can do wrong, disobey, sin, i.e., "lust" with impunity.

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken." Jeremiah 6:16, 17

Home schooling material, co-ops, conferences, etc., are joining in the same praxis, fulfilling Immanuel Kant's as well as Georg Hegel's, Karl Marx's, and Sigmund Freud's agenda of using the pattern or method of Genesis 3:1-6, i.e., "self" 'justification,' i.e., dialectic (dialogue) 'reasoning," i.e., 'reasoning' from/through your "feelings," i.e., your carnal desires of the 'moment' which are being stimulated by the world (including your desire for approval from others, with them affirming your carnal nature) in order to negate Hebrews 12:5-11, i.e., the father's/Father's authority, i.e., having to humble, deny, die to, control, discipline your "self" in order to do the father's/Father's will, negating Romans 7:14-25, i.e., your having a guilty conscience when you do wrong, disobey, sin, thereby negating your having to repent before the father/Father for your doing wrong, disobedience, sins—which is the real agenda.

"And for this cause [because men, as "children of disobedience," 'justify' their "self," i.e., 'justify' their love of "self" and the world, i.e., their love of the carnal pleasures of the 'moment' (dopamine emancipation) which the world stimulates over and therefore against the Father's authority] God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie [that pleasure is the standard for "good" instead of doing the Father's will]: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth [in the Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ], but had pleasure in unrighteousness [in their "self" and the pleasures of the 'moment,' which the world stimulates]." 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 12
