How low can we as the people of earth go? Now they are creating sex dolls in the image of little children. They say the reason behind this is because it is supposed to help curb the urge or appetite of the pedophiles. Instead of abusing children, they can just abuse these dolls instead. I don't know about you but to me, this is sickening! Listen! As long as the pedophile is acting on his or her own fantasies, with real children or no, it is only going to strengthen that urge not curb it. I don't care what today's psychologists say. This kind of behavior is not natural. Just think of all the lives of those children who have been subjected to or will be subjected to this type of activity. As far as I am concerned, the pedophile cannot be rehabilitated. I believe the following scripture tells us why: Romans 1:25-26 reads,
"…They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones." You see, it's not merely a matter of experimentation. It's not something you just get involved with over a dare or a bet. But it's a matter of choice, exchanging natural relations for unnatural ones. Another translation says it this way in verse 26... "Therefore God handed them over to "disgraceful diseases", and their females changed their natural need and became accustomed to that which is unnatural." Listen, there is no cure for this kind of disease short of one giving his or her heart and life to God. And the only reason I say that is because that's what salvation through Christ is all about, changing one's desires or affections for godly desires by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I didn't automatically become perfect but I wanted to be because the Holy Spirit began to change my less than honorable desires for good and honorable desires. In other words, he changed "my want to". I did a lot of things earlier in my life that I'm not really proud of and I could still do them today if I wanted to, but you see? I don't want to do those things anymore because my desires have changed. I have been made a new creation, old things are passed away and all things are become new. The Apostle Paul said it this way in Colossians, chapter 3:1-3, "If you are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
Jesus told a Samaritan woman who had five husbands and the one she was living with was not her husband (found in John, chapter four), "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Jesus is talking about changing our want tos. We need to let God change our "want tos" and begin to drink from the water of life that only he can give, and that comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He said in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me."
So this subject begs the question, "Can individuals like pedophiles change their ways? Can they be rehabilitated? Can they return to what the Bible refers to as "natural" affection?" Only God knows that answer for sure. But Jesus said this in Matthew 19 and verse 26, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Maybe you know someone who is struggling with pedophilia, or maybe it's drugs or some other form of addiction, Be a friend and tell them to give their life to Jesus Christ and let the Holy Spirit make them a new creation. Another place says, a "new species". After all, that's why God sent His only Son to earth. He sent him to earth to set the captives free and whoever the Son sets free, he is surely free indeed.
