How come God never protects children but in the Bible tells us he loves them?How come when a child cries out for mercy at the fateful hour,God never saves him/her?

There are all kinds of evil acts performed by all kinds of people. That does not mean anything about God's character. Quite often the mentally ill and troubled seek help in Christianity. Since Pedophilia is an almost incurable syndrome, It would be natural that some are going to be Christians.

There is no paedophile Christians. That's the devil trying to destroy the church and deter people from Christ. God does protect. God proves a way out of every situation its up to us to listen to him and do as he says. Man's free will tells him no I think this will work. God is not going to physically change the situation, we need to help God help us. He doesn't work for us, we work for him. If you get in a situation where you need protection call on God and he will give an exit. Children can speak to and listen to God as well.

That assumes several things that aren't necessarily true. It assumes that the bible is the word of god and that god is good.
The bible is a compilation of several documents from various religions and for god to truly be the 'end all be all' he has to be everything good AND evil.
Of course you can always just cop out of the difficult questions and say that life is a test and that interfering would negate all the work.
The most popular cop out has always been that
the person who did it isn't really part of the religion. It allows the religious group avoid blame and responsibility for it's members.

It is terribly unfortunate that these things happen but let us be clear on God. God is Spirit and so are we. We are not our bodies. The horror that happens to children is a reaction to evil which does not come from God. God acts upon evil by being available for you and children to feel love. God is love. And Love casts out fear and evil.

Can you tell me the comparative ratios of paedophile Christians to the number of Christians in the world, and the number of paedophiles in the secular world against the rest of the worlds population.
When you present us with the facts, then we will be able to answer your question.
You wouldn't understand the answer to your second question, based upon what I've seen of your question, so I won't waste any more time

this is pretty basic but christianity is different from most religions as freedom of choice is at it's very heart - you get to choose to be a priest, then you get to choose to become a paedophile, or not - if you really are interested in what christians believe and would like to understand the theology and philosophy of it better than the majority of christians read "Mere Christianity" by C.S.Lewis - the book is brilliant and does not ask you to believe in anything you do not feel.

God is here,...just as real as you and me,.....you mixed up between God and human. Phedophile christians is a sick person,...it doesnt mean christian as religion is sick,..or other christians are sick.
God protects children and mature people in HIS own ways,..Most of times Not for human to realize.
Your parents can protect you when you are minor ONLY while they wake up,...and on Limited protection,...WHO DO YOU THINK PROTECT YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP...??..when you are kid.
The EVIDENCE,....is in your self,...you still alive today.You just dont know,...or realize HOW God do His work.
I hope this , will add more awareness.
I have experience,...that He protect me..and He let me KNOW.

Ever heard of sin's of the father and the flip side to GOD is SATAN. Just be assured that whatever we as humans have to go thru, GOD is there to see us thru. Yes you can continue to have faith even in the face of a terrifing, painful, and degrading experience! Sound like you have been thru something and need the support of your minister and brother and sisters. May GOD put enlightenment in your heart!

We all have free will and can choose disobedience. His rules are set down and well known in the Bible. Frankly, though, I'm not sure even God foresaw that some men would be mentally warped as to desire children. I mean, he put the survival instinct in all of us to desire to mate with a full grown member of the opposite sex, one who could help create new beings of the species. Who knew it would be suppressed in some? These men do not see grown women as beautiful, for some reason, but prefer children. In some cases, it's a power thing, like with rape. In giving us free will, God created psychology and, thus, psychological disorders. God loves the children and we are all his children, regardless of age. And it is not true that God never saves the children, but we are all saved in some way when we put our faith in Him. That doesn't mean He will jump in and physically save us from the trials of life, abuse being one of them, but that we must learn from these experiences, and sometimes even die from them. God, I think, sometimes intends it exactly that way. We think of death as untimely, but I doubt seriously that God sees it that way. He likely thinks, "yes, this child of mine is arriving in Heaven right on schedule." Life is death. Dying brings us to life. Think about that. Still, we are here to learn and grow, so we must allow things to go as they are until God takes us in some way, not by our own design. I believe God accepts that, but is disappointed that we did not choose to go through this life in it's entirety and learn all we could. Back to the pedophile thing, though. There have always been those who are deviant and we must not hate them but help them to grow and be whole. They, oddly, need saving, too. We always think of the children, and that of course is the first concern, but remember that those who hurt others are somehow hurt themselves and are in need of healing. Do good Christians look past a leper and not try to offer aid? This is a leporosy of the mind. Regardless of how disgusting it may be, we are servants of God and that makes us servants of man. We must be willing to offer our aid as much as we can. We must aid the children, but also those whose minds are in need of fixing. Realize that most of these people who abuse were abused themselves. Give this serious thought before deciding who you hate and who needs protecting. We are all children, despite whatever age we may have gained.
