Re: It's Your Fault People Are Homosexual
It appears there is a pattern in 1:18-32 -- a tumble downhill once a person rejects God.
They reject God and refuse to accept His salvation.
He gives them up to their lusts.
They exchange the truth of God for a lie (more rejection of God) and begin practicing idolatry.
"For this cause" God gives them up (again?) to vile passions
And continuing ... "even after they refused to have God in their knowledge" (again, more rejection of God) "God gave them up to a reprobate mind."
There is a way to see hope in these verses: all of the "God gave them up" are preceded by people actively rejecting God. As long as you've got a fight left in you; as long as you don't reject God, He will never give up on you.
