Douglas, let me make this as clear as I can for you. That is a false accusation, which I just stated is false, and I illustrated why it was false. So, at this point, your comments have gone beyond flaming and have now become harassment. Stop, and leave me alone. Let me reiterate: Being...

Pedophilia is not a desire to harm children. That is a myth. I was sexually abused, I would not wish that pain on anyone, let alone a group of people I tend to care about. I also have pedophilia, which I manage just fine without hurting children. And yes, I got professional help with my...

Pray the pedophilia away is not something that works. To be specific, I know at least six other Christians that I know prayed for their minor attraction to go away. Years later, it is still there. So, again, there are several options: - God is ignoring people (highly unlikely) - God is waiting...

Good one. Tell me another joke!

I am not convinced that any of what you wrote is correct. To reject something as sexual because it does not involve females or adults is to deny the reality that there are people who feel sexually about males or children. That reality exists. Therefore, it is your assertion that seems...

Exodus Ministries used to think that same way. Today, every credible mental health organization in the world views therapies to change sexual attraction as extremely harmful. One source even calls it sexual abuse. Can God do anything? Absolutely. However, I prayed for many years for God to...

Pedophilia is defined as the sexual attraction to children, and prepubescent ones, not just any minor. Conflating sexual harm with sexual attraction is not going to win that argument, Dave. They are two separate ideas. One is a feeling, the other is a behavior. I made it very clear in my OP...

Well, when you have objective evidence and are willing to discuss protecting children in that other thread - without accusing people of being defective perverts - let me know. Until then, you have a good Christmas, and look up 1 John 2.1-14. That might give you a few clues about how we are to...

I think you have made it quite clear what you think we should do. Because... ...you just called us defective. So, thank you for that. A cheery Merry Christmas to you too... Very glad you think I am mixed up and defective. Very glad I am quite secure in my faith and knowing who I am and who I am...

I am quite familiar with it. So tell me something, then: Who do you think knows more about how pedophilia operates? Someone who has it, or someone who calls it a perversion? Why Pedophilia And Pedophiles Are Not A Risk To Children You and others seem to have this idea that because a sexual...

Do you know what special pleading is?

You quoted them earlier. Do you not care to answer them?

Do you care to answer my questions, Douglas?

What is good for the person is typically what is best for children. I disagree. Are you heterosexual, I would presume? Is every woman you come across a temptation for you? Are you automatically a risk for raping every woman you see? Does seeing women automatically lead to a fantasy about that...

Then we can agree to disagree, Tom. The Bible was formed on principles, one of which being not to add to a list of sins based on nothing more than weighing people down. If it is not directly referenced in the Bible, or covered as a principle, I fail to see why we should consider something a sin...
