The God of the OT is the God of the NT, Jesus is not separate from God. If He were, then we do not worship God.
His will is not for us to take action against them, because we are as guilty as they are. But it they will not repent, they will die in their sins.

Well sodomy is a plague on mankind and especially upon any society that claims to be civilized. It is evident from scripture and history that sodomy leads to the down fall of kingdoms.
Sodom and Gomorrah are examples of how debased a place will become when sodomites are in charge. They wanted to defile angels from heaven before God blinded them. No amount of reasoning will persuade them to change their ways.
We often soothe our conscience with our feigned efforts to win them to Christ but again scripture pretty much tells us that they would rather die than change. Romans 1 if you want to see it.
Society sentences these people to eternal death by accepting their "lifestyle" and sealing their fate for eternity. Cry out against sin or be overcome by sin.

How could she (sorry) imply anything when the words used were, "His will is not for us to take action against them, because we are as guilty as they are."? What implication is there? All I saw implied was your intent to be snarky.

No you cant do that, its mean : p
The Gospel is that Jesus gave His life so that we may repent of our sins. Its sad how we live in a world that actually wants to remove the repenting of sins part of the Gospel.
Yup, many people will ignore God's warning, and they will fall into judgement. We continue to give people the warning in hopes that some will come to Him. Were already told that there will be many who turn away from Him into condemnation.
7 “Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. 8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand. 9 But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.
-Ezekiel 33

Gods word does not push people down they are already at the bottom. Gods word lifts people up and out of the miry clay. God stoops in mercy to reach down to us. We do not reach up toward God.

You might believe that but most sinners know there is a hell waiting for them. They just think they are good enough to get out of it or that they will be able to endure it. Many would not be happy in heaven because they have no appetite for pure and holy things.
