I, for one, do believe he will be completely delivered-- and may already be. Time will tell.
BTW, he's not a "false prophet".
It is almost as if some folks on here simply believe that unless one is an Apostolic, they're going to hell, regardless.
Doesn't anyone see the folly in thinking that way-- the spiritual pride that sets you up for, when you think that way?
I have pity for the man who had the innocence of his boyhood stripped away!
It's not like it was his fault.
We should be more careful with our statements.

I think it's all about foundations. When they are built incorrectly, with improper materials, it is almost impossible to have a sound structure. Yes, the structure can be completely torn down, and the foundation rebuilt, but the process is extremely difficult.
I would think especially with the case of childhood sexual abuse. The foundation of their sexual identity is warped and distorted as it is first being built. Over the years, layers upon layers are built over it. They may get some help, remove a few layers and rebuild and think themselves "cured". Only to find that the behavior or "perversion" continues to manifest itself.
