My favorite is the old I want them to be used to submitting to me so submitting to God is easier for them.
I totally get the desire behind that.
I do.
It gets a lot lost in applying it practically. You can't force someone to submit.
It's a voluntary action. If you make them do it, they're not submitting--they're being compelled. And what happens when you're forced to do something for ages and suddenly that force stops?
