You know, it always amazes me how someone can say they are something yet be so against who they are.

I'm not against who and what I am. I'm against the actions that pedophilia tempts me to do.

If pedophilia is so bad why don't you denounce it and walk away? Why are you here.

I'm not against pedophilia. I'm against child molestation. That is what I denounce. And I don't walk away because there needs to be people who stand up and say we are not slaves to our desires.

Just because we have desires does not mean that is who we are.

That's the first thing you've said I agree with.

You can change if you want.

You've got to be kidding. This statement comes from a pedophile? It sounds more like something an uninformed do-gooder would say. If I could change my attractions, I certainly would. Wouldn't you?

Jesus when he was in the Garden praying asked our Father(God) to let this cup pass but he put his desires aside and stated "not my will but your will be done".

That's exactly what I'm suggesting, putting our desires aside. You're suggesting we indulge them.

If pedophilia is wrong and you don't believe it ask God if it is his will for you to be this way and if it's not than ask him to take it away and believe by faith that it is gone.

Pedophilia may or may not be wrong. But child molestation IS wrong. I have asked numerous times that this be taken away. But God has chosen to allow my desires to remain, so I live with it in His strength.

We are all tempted but we can resist temptation and not fall into the trap.

That's exactly my point. I DO resist the temptation. But you seem to be suggesting we surrender to it and try to normalize it.

Don't on one hand denounce something and then in the same instance claim it's who you are.

Pedophilia is part of me but it certainly is not who I am. And yes, I denounce it most vigorously.

If it's who you are and our Father(God) says you are fearfully and wonderfully made then accept it and love who our Father created you to be.

God did not create me to have sex with kids. To think such is a cop out and an excuse to indulge in carnal desires. God may have given me a special love for boys, but He certainly never intended for me to sexualize them. Suggesting that because we are pedophiles must mean that God made us this way and we should embrace it is like saying those who are bi-polar should embrace their mental illness and not try to deal with it.

If you are not the way God made you then ask him to show you who you are and walk away from the person you are not and don't want to be.

Gee, why didn't I think of that. I hereby walk away from my pedophilia. Glory hallelujah, I'm changed!!!!! I'm no longer a pedophile!!!! Thanks so much. I never realized it was so simple.
