ANYONE who can believe on Christ can be saved, no matter what they have done.John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
Can they still have forgiveness of sins...and if so, wouldn’t that make them valuable despite their horrible sins?
However, I think pedophiles are reprobates....the walking dead, who cannot believe, like The Hebrews 6 person who has rejected God for so long & so sincerely, that God has actually given HIS final rejection back.
The Bible describes what a reprobate is:
“Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.”.....Jeremiah 6:30 KJB
I believe it is too late for a p***phile because they actually HATE God, and don’t even want to think about Him.
How did the person become damned to the point they are no longer capable of being saved??
According to the Bible:
Romans 1(KJB):
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
p***philia is NOT a temptation that is common to man. I think we can ALL agree on that. In fact, the very thought of it makes ordinary people—saved AND unsaved—wince in disgust, and sickens us to where we don’t even want to think about it; the idea is repulsive. Same with homosexuality.
Something dramatic occurs in the heart of these individuals that would allow them to gravitate toward acts of such a vile nature....their conscience is completely seared and they are not only capable of the unthinkable, but as verse 32 above states: they actually have PLEASURE in those who do them.
