Authoritarian parenting always reveals underlying theology.

Note that sin management/behavioral control is the priority. 🧵1/4
This is not how God interacts with us. His antidote for sin is not shaming or punishing us into performance.

Note also the parental narcissism: the problem is the parent has been defied & embarrassed. 2/4
There is no concept of the child’s well being. In fact, children, the ppl Jesus said we are to welcome in His name, are referred to as “tin pot tyrants” that “terrorize”.
