There should always be prohibitions or constraints on pedophiles for these reasons.

For each of the reasons you site, there are arguments put forth by folks like Nambla to contradict them. Who is to say that having nonconsenusual sex is harmful if it was done in a more inclusive and accepting society ? Who is to say it isn't our ancient prohibitions that harm the child and not the act itself ? Who is to say that having young sex handled lovingly by a person who feels love for the child could not be a positive and affirming experience ?

You have concluded that nonconsensual sex at a young age is harmful without acknowledging that the harm may be from the guilt we make the child feel. Much like the guilt we make a homosexual feel. There is no telling how a child would be affected in a society that looked at this differently.

You're right. There is no telling. However, I'm not prepared to risk the emotional well-being of children to find out -- just so people can indulge their perversions.

I wouldn't equate the emotional experience of an adult with a child. Developmentally, there is a significant difference in their capacity to handle their emotions. Adult homosexuals have the capacity to identify guilt they believe to be legitimate (and learn from it) versus the kind serves no useful purpose (perhaps for things that weren't their fault). Young children can't make this separation as readily.

Subject not currently updated,
Is he still working in St. John's on Elgin St. in Ottawa? Google gave me most current update being this one of 2004. If he's leading up a church's music, that's a high calling. But what is the message that is supposed to flow from the music, and the churches themselves, who claim to worship Jesus?

(The message- that we are supposed to be understanding in "churches" where for the most part, man-made religion replaces relationship- is the "message of the CROSS- the whole point of why Jesus had to come to this fallen world. And he says the message is SIMPLE - so simple a child can grasp it. We as children trust our Father God who loves us with true agape love.)

"It would be better to tie a millstone around your neck and throw yourself into the sea than to harm one of these little ones" (If yo lead one of these little ones astray, just know: Judgement is coming, Repent while there is time. Repentance means turning around.)

"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such as these belongs the Kingdom of Heaven" You must be born again and you must become as a little child to enter in to the rest that He has prepared for his children.

Jesus died for you. Will you die for him? (die to your "SELF", your carnal nature, Be born in spirit. The Holy Spirit annoints music that glorifies God.
As a musician/worship leader, it is not your greatness. You are a mere vessel, hopefully one that is used of God. But how can sweet and bitter waters flow from the same fountain?

Sin is sin. But if we grieve the Holy Spirit, it is unpardonable. So many damaged, lost young souls in this man's wake. I could not enter into worship of my Lord Jesus, with this man leading. Lucifer, the highest and most beautiful arch-angel was thrust from this honoured position as the "head of music" and from the heights of Heaven to the very depths of Hell. His minions also AWAIT an eternal fate: "eternity separated from God!)
May you experience the agape love of God today and turn back and not trust your own heart even (for it is evil and full of wickedness); He said: "..sin no more."
When did you stop?
