So, I want to address these scriptures. As a teen, I was familiar with these scriptures and honestly, they added to my fear, my dread, and ultimately, was used either by my own mind or by satan to bring a sense of CERTAIN HOPELESSNESS-- especially when my deliverance did not come after I did all that I knew to do.

The "God gave them up" phrase to me meant that God has simply given up on the people described in these verses. I NEVER, EVER wanted God to give up on me, but if I could talk to you about the utter hopelessness involved in all I went through...

How are some people supposed to not be hopeless when reading this scripture?

Is there a way to interpret this scripture in a way that does not minimize sin but does not take away all hope for the soul that is ensnared in the sins related to and detailed in the scriptures above.

dearest brother, I used that passage only because It was the only one I could think of on the subject. I take it to mean that when people reject God, he allows them to reap the consequences, but when people accept God's help he nurture's them as a loving Father.

The bible also says A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench (Is 42:3) meaning that he will not abandon us even when we are most feebly reaching for his help.

JD, God will never give up on you
