If Jesus exists, then the entire point of salvation is transformation — not giving a free pass to people who do harm. “Saving” someone isn’t the same as approving what they’ve done. In fact, the worst offenders are the ones who need the deepest, most complete overhaul of their mind, heart, and will.

If you say “everyone except pedophiles,” then you’re not talking about salvation anymore — you’re talking about writing off human beings as permanently broken. That’s understandable emotionally, but it’s not moral clarity. It’s despair.

If justice means leaving people in the state that produced their crimes, then justice doesn’t heal anything — it just abandons the possibility of change.

Saving someone like that wouldn’t mean protecting the part of them that harms. It would mean destroying that part completely and restoring whatever remains of the person underneath. If that’s impossible for you to imagine, fine — but the whole idea of “Jesus saves” is precisely about doing the impossible.

Either salvation is stronger than evil, or it’s not salvation.
