Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit, can set a person free from any type of sexual addiction. If you are a married man, and, in your heart you are sexually attracted to young boys or another man, you can be set free by Jesus Christ. If you are a single man, but in your heart you know that you are a whore, because, every other month you have a different woman, you can be set free by the Holy Spirit. If you are tired of being controlled by pornography, I have some good news for you, and, that is, you can be set free by the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ, can also set an individual free from, mastrubation, fornication, homosexuality, and, the list could go on. The question, that you must ask is, “do I want to be set free” ? If, the answer is yes, then call on him, out of a sincere heart, and, he will set you free. He did it for me, and, I believe He will do it for you.
The Bowtie Professor Speaks!
First, I would like you to know that I admire you so so much; for to me you really are a giant. Most, people wouldn’t and don’t talk about these subjects, because most are afraid to let others know that they have dealt with or they are dealing with such problems as the ones that you speak about. There are many men and women dealing with being sexually attracted to those of the same sex. But, we all know that this is truly wrong even those that are involved in same sex relationships. God did not create us to be with the same sex! You ask why? I’m glad that you asked God said be fruitful and mulitiply,this can’t happen with two men and this can’t happen with two women. This will only occur when there’s a Man and Woman!. Those that are attracted to children God help! This is truly a problem you must ask God to help you with this he is the only one who can truly set you free from yourself! Because this is a mind problem how could one ever think that it’s okay to sleep with a child. Most, of the time this is passed on from the persons childhood maybe someone did sexual acts on them and ,for some cause they believe that this is okay. Then it’s those that did it out of the need to be in total control, With children it’s easy to take the control! This is the type of person that is not very likely to be around many people. They don’t want to be with those they can’t control!
I believe that a lot of people struggle with this within the church walls,but are afraid to openly tell someone for the fear of being ridiculed or condemned. With all of the blatant dis respectfulness within our society against our God given sexualities, it does not amaze me that people struggle with being sexual attracted to children, especially if they were molested themselves. I am not just talking about just the physical part of being molested, but the molestation of our minds. It is so disgusting what the movies put out , especially now they have a sit com on T.V about teenagers having orgies. Come on, the society as a whole is sick. Not just the people, but the ones who are trying to tell people that it is ok to have sex with a 10 year old, if you are 40, and let us not forget the Roman culture for a man to be a man he had to have another man put his penis in his anus, and that was his introduction to manhood. In India children as young as six are sold by their parents, well the girls are sold by their parents into prostitution to pay off their debts. Now right now I am taking sociology and I am told to respect other people cultures, to me that is not culture that is rape, to the fullness extent. I don’t believe that people would be attracted to kids if society had more respect for our sexuality at large, but no the mainstream want to say we are animals, so let us get in touch with our animal nature, and now we have men raping little six years old and killing themselves afterward, because they know that it is wrong.
It is sad the way we are being molested by the media into believing that perversion is the right path, but to some people having sex with little children is ok, because the movies or the sociologist say so. I am in a sociology class right now, and I am told to respect other people cultures, well I can not have respect for the culture of Indian who allow their six year old daughters to be sold for sex, just to pay off their debts. The little girls are chained to a cage as if they are animals, it is too discussing for me to even mention the details. I only know this information because of church missionary trips there. There is a perversion norm that is dismantling on the sex age appropriateness. The Romans would have the little boys have anus sex with the older men, just to introduce the young boys, at the age nine to manhood. Now, I know a lot of people will love to say, “come on Illa this is not true, but it is. I could never understand why someone could be attracted to a child, but who can understand the mind of a sick person especially when the person refuse to admit that they have a problem. I agree that being sexually attracted to children is a generational curse, and it can only be broken by the blood of Jesus and nothing else, however if a person is engaged in porn, a person can open up themselves to another spirit of perversion. That is the reason I believe that the rape of children have gone up because when someone is into porn, they look at all nastiness and then they get so screwed up in the mind, that they will take it out on anybody just to satisfy their sinful nature. My mother use to tell me”T.T. a man who is screwed up in his head will have sex with a snake”. Now, that is some serious bondage”. Rest in Peace Mommy.
I believe that everyone in this world are siners. That does not exclude me. we cannot judge anyone for their sexual preferences or for how they live with their sexual lives. I believe evryone lives their sexual life in a way they prefer to. Sometimes these ways might be wrong but only the lord can judge. What goes around comes around, no one can escape from that. Everything that one does in this life and is wrong or bad will come back to us multiplied.
I know God is great and forgives all but to anyone who would ever touch any kid in any sexual way can go straight to HELL. He/She shouldn’t be forgiven. People who do things like that are very sick people and they can give thousands excuses and ask for forgiveness in a million ways and i will still want them to go HELL. I am not a saint of any kind but I have two children of my own that I would give my whole world for and if anyone where to ever touch them in that way they wouldn’t live to see tomorrow. So maybe that is when they should pray to GOD to take them with HIM because if HE doesn’t I sure will where I go.
What a topic to discuss in a small paragraph? I believe God can forgive people who are sinners, but there is a limit, and responsibility in ones actions too. People who molest or abuse children are sick and need proffessional help. If one believe in God they should stick with what Bible says not only when they are doing bad things, it is a daily life requirment. Jesus died for us the sinners, that is not an excuse to molest or abuse people and ask forgiveness, yes He will forgive the person no matter what. Cheating on your wife, same sex marriage, child moleatation, phonography and the sin goes on……. It is wrong, people need to think straight and get help. I respect all cultures but not the sick people. Yes Jesus Christ through Holy Spirit can set anyone free but these sick sinners should get help and get a life through Jesus Christ.
Yes…Jesus Christ can set anybody free if they ask him to; I do believe this. However, in order for a person to be set free he/or she has to be willing to change the problem. You have to meet God half way, meaning that when God delivers you, you have to have the will power to go through what you are asking for. Its just like losing weight; it is not easy but if you ask God to give you the strength, he will do it. Once you believe that the Holy Spirit has empowered you, you cannot continue to commit the same sin and expect different results. Its like working out to lose weight one day and then eating a Big Mac from McDonald’s da next day; you are defeating the purpose.
Yes…. he can set you free. As Hope said, you must meet him half way. Admit to your problems and move forward ask for forgiveness and live your life correctly. God Doesn’t put things in your path for fun. He is simply showing you the way, can you over come what he has in store for you?
Most people in this world have sined before once in there life time. But I to believe if one would like to be set free God can set you free, it’s the individuals responsibility to call for him.
This is a true statement! My Lord and Saviour can do the impossoble! Without the will to change though, it will be hard. This also brings up another good point, even though you see people living the good life on the outside, it doesnt necessarily mean all is well. There can be a lot of problems going on behind closed doors. Be thankful for what you have because the person who you are envying because they have a lot of “Stuff” can be envying you because you can just go to bed at night without any worries.
I concur.
Through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit each person mentioned in the article can be set free of his/her addiction. As you stated the question is “Is do they want to be set free.” In my opinion some people will be set free because that is the choice they make, but unfortunately some will not be. Some people will refuse to listen to what the power of Christ can do for one. They will never experience this because they do not believe or they feel that they have gone too far and that Christ would never forgive them. I think they feel this way because of the media. The media is extremely harsh on these types of people. For example, the television show How to Catch a Predator caused a man to commit suicide because of the child pornography found on his computer. Will he be set free? Probably not. This man choose to live this life and died by the life he lived. He never gave his self the opportunity to ask for forgiveness, to know Jesus Christ. On the other hand, Tiger Woods has openly admitted he has a sexual addiction and has checked into a rehab for it. I feel that he wants to be set free, and he will. Both of the incidents were very popular in the media drawing much negative attention to both men. Each person handles each situation differently, so I think the answer, “Can I be set free?” is up to the person and how well they can handle the situation they have gotten theirselves in.

I like this one a lot. It not only informs, but for some of your readers you are a helper. I wouldn’t even doubt it if you have saved mariages and assure people that Jesus can set them free. I have a family member who is going through her husband cheating on her. It is a nasty and vicious thing to go through, but I think everyone needs to be reminded that there is an up. There are amazing things in life that you have yet to expierence. Jesus can truly help and set anyone free.
I really believe this is why there are so many priests in the Catholic Church that are pedophlies.
It is my opinion that the young men who go into the priesthood come from very closed minded, religious families.
These young men have been battling an inner demon of a sexual nature all thier life.
Maybe they have discovered they are attracted to other boys/men, or maybe they are attracted to younger children.
This causes inner termoil because of their tight religious upbringng.
They certainly cannot go to their parents for support.
They turn to God.
They reason that, if they become a priest they will be able to quelch these feelings through the “holy spirit”.
Then they find out that these feelings do not go away no matter how hard they pray.
What happens then is that hundreds of boys/youngchildren are preyed upon by the priests they are taught to revere.
This is just my own interpretation and opinion, and is not meant to offend anyone.
Yes they can be set free if they want to be free but first they must believe and then admit they have a problem but not until then will they be set free. Amen.
