But before I go any further, I DO NOT feel that same sense of hopelessness today concerning my past. There is no need to walk on eggshells, but it is never appropriate to be arrogant or rude either.

I have asked what I have asked in order to spur thought and dialogue on this subject.

Want to be a relevant Christian?

Have a word, based on the Word, that lifts up and encourages the broken WITHOUT minimizing sin.

So can we use the first chapter of Romans in a way that lifts up and encourages the broken WITHOUT minimizing sin?

Is Romans 1 an edict of utter hopelessness?

I think you have to take scripture in context, and also look at multiple scriptures for answers, later in Romans it says that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God Ro 3:23, but we can all be freely forgiven and justified. In Romans 1 Paul is building the case that we are ALL sinners.
