Pedophilia

if you love someone enough you could never do anything to hurt them, look deeper than the flesh, it may be an angel underneath, think that whenever you get any thoughts you cant control, is this an angel wearing human flesh...,

[h=1]Hebrews 13:2[/h]
Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

I agree with many above. Help, counseling, and prayer is needed. I pray for him and that NO, NO, NO more will be affected

Andrew,I don't know what to tell you,this is awful,I hope that you get the help that you need to get to beat this.

Brothers and sisters, God doesn't make half measures. Andrews being here is evidence that God is working in him. We must not respond with fear. The answer is love. He is nothing less than a brother seeking help. He will get it, trust that and keep him as well as all of us in your prayers. Without a doubt there are those among us who struggle with issues we know nothing about who are too embarrassed or ashamed to come forward. Let Andrew be beacon of hope for those people. They can come forward, they won't be judged and we will do everything in our power to assist the recovery of any and all of God's children.

Amen brother, and never doubt Gods power to change our hearts, He's the only way we can.

Amen, without Him there would be none of us who seek Him. It's only through His grace any of us were called.

If you do hurt a child. Also remember. You will go to prison. Inmates do not like sex offenders.
In Prison you will be passed around through out the gangs as all these men use you as a sex slave.

After a while you may seek protection from so many convicts beating and violating you every day for there enjoyment.
For protection, You may end up submitting to being owned by one convict, and being just his girl. I met an ex con back in the 70's.
His owner used his mouth as a toilet and thought that was a very funny thing to do.

Think of the consequences of your actions before you do them.

Well that's a gallon of expresso.

This is good but the rest of your post isn't helping.

Someone reminding someone of some practical consequences of being a sexual offender isn't helping? Your posts are almost as disturbing as someone who struggles with feelings of pedophilia. Pedophiles do the most damage when they have someone enabling them.

You know, when I first read Trailblazer's post, I instinctively thought the same way as Tintin. However upon reading and rereading the post, I realize that it's actually good for Andrew to know. The reality of the situation is that really COULD be his life and he should be warned. With that being said, I have both faith in God's work in Andrew and I have faith in my brother to allow God to defeat the enemy that dwells within. I hope all of you are keeping Andrew in your prayers. Not once, but daily.

I think it has to be said that Andrew has been incredibly brave to out himself in this way - especially on a public forum. Everyone here has been very understanding because the topic is very serious but the love shown by all here has been outstanding. Andrew himself recognises the seriousness of this but he must act on his fears and seek help without delay. How much longer can he go on bottling up these feelings? I know because of the age involved it is different but I kind of liken it to having this urge with a woman who isn't interested. Rape is rape and you cannot act out these desires - even if the person involved is an adult. For a child though it is worse and there are so many reasons why.

I have been thinking about this some today and I have also prayed about it. God help you and bless you Andrew.

Andrew is seeking help without delay sister. Trust that. It's the reason he came here in the first place.

I know we keep saying it over and over and over again but it is SOOO important. We need prayer warriors folks.

Father in heaven, glorious is your name. We ask you to bring Your Light into Andrews life Lord, cleanse him, purify him. Cast any darkness that is in him as far as the East is from the West. Be with him, cast protection around him Lord, in Jesus glorious name we pray, amen."

Amen, and Andrew I will be praying He pulls you to Him and helps bring you the peace, understanding, love, fear, and healing it takes to help that only He can bring you. You are doing the right thing by reaching out to us fellow believers, and also make sure you stay on your knees asking Him to please heal you as well. Are you ready to submit to His will 100% and give yourself totally to Him to do with as He wills? Just keep asking Him to save you, to come into you and change your heart, and believe the perfect sacrifice of His Son, mans Savior, Jesus Christ shedding His blood and taking Gods full righteous wrath as payment for our sins, then He will come into you and help guide you away from these sins. That is our only hope to change for good. We can't do it by our own will, but by the Holy Spirit man can change his sinful nature. I will be praying for you too brother that God breaks the chains of these repressive sins that blind you. Keep going to God to the very end brother, and if there is anything I can do with the "over online" limitations please let me know.

That was/is my intent.... Very bad consequences if he acts on his temptation. This is very serious. I felt the responses on CC may have been a little light hearted for what is at stake here.

If Andrew looses out to his temptations, and gives in to them. Satan has one. He and his victims all lose with struggles in life for many years.
I normally like to put a spiritual take on things, instead of worldly wisdom.

Satan the Tempter. Out to destroy all that God created as good. Satan and his fallen angels tempt people to do the opposite of what God created as good for all mankind.
Jesus himself fasted and prayed for forty days before going before Satan to be tempted. So who are we going up against some of these forces?

I pray that whatever forces or temptations are causing Andrew to be having the unclean thoughts and feelings that Andrew is having. That Jesus cleans Andrews souls and spirit of the horrible temptation that he is having.
I ask this in Jesus name. AMEN!

I'm not enabling him but I'm sorry for coming across that way.

Check out post#37. Questions for you Tintin.
Do you know Andrews heart? The facts in my post does not look to you as a deterrent in any way for Andrew?
If I did not post what the consequences of his actions might be. What consequences would he have to think about before committing his deed on young little girls??

Do you think that if people did not think of prison as being!... "Not such a bad place" More like just a place to get some free room and board for awhile. Maybe many criminals would stop committing there crimes against society?

Please read my above post. I apologised. I do not want to enable anyone to do anything.
