"Do you think God could transform a sex offender?"

If God "transformed" a sex-offender, He would be breaking one of His own Laws ~ that of free-agency. Remember that a sexual predator is a sexual predator because that is what he CHOOSES to be.

You are very wrong in those words.

When one truly allows God in, all problems can be dealt with.

People can change and that change is much more possible through God. The past may not be made different, but the future can be.

That's right. God doesn't make us do anything He gave us a choice.

We all - you and me too - choose to sin. It is only by the grace of God that we can choose otherwise. Can you choose to accept this grace? Is God's grace withheld from all sex offenders?

Could a sex offender choose to accept God's grace, repent and be forgiven?

Quite apparently you must equate this to the unforgivable sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
