I am very knowledgeable of the false theory that you teach. You will never grasp how wonderful God's grace and mercy is, unless you first understand how depraved and filthy you are when you are walking (committing sin) in the flesh, in which every one of God's born again children do every now and then (1 John I:8-10).(Rom 7:19-25).
Does the sovereignty of God nullify the grace of God?

"A" is not even an option. God gave all mankind the freedom to choose how they want to live their lives as they dwell on earth, and none of them would seek him, no, not one (Psalms 53:2-3).
Some things are apparent and clarification isn't desired for understanding, but for sake of argument. Grace and peace.
If what I write is false, how come you are the only one trying to say Christians can be homosexual, which is an abomination unto God (His words through Paul) and no one else is calling me wrong?
To anyone who reads every post. Can a Christian also be an abomination unto God? Can a Follower of God be homosexual who lives a lifestyle of same sex in marriage, activity, choices, intimacy?
You will never understand the grace of God, until you understand how filthy that you are, when you are walking in the flesh.
You act like what God calls an abomination can also be a Christian. That's literally impossible. A true conversion in Christ would not also be doing something that God defines as an abomination. There are no "true Christians" that daily practice homosexuality. Those are not people saved at all. Those are people who reject God and going to Hell. The fact You call them Christians shows You don't believe what God calls as an abomination. I personally go with what God says.
So do I go by what God says. He says that when you are walking in the flesh, your righteousness is as filthy rags. Do you believe what God calls filth rags?
Some people prefer to speak obscurely, so they can speak their own incoherent opinions while convincing themselves that the reason people disagree with them is because they are too stupid to understand correctly what they are saying.
If someone is away from home and are anaesthetised by a vapour I release in their room so they cannot leave, have I kidnapped them by force?
If you think a person can live all his life as a homosexual without changing to become more like Christ, that God calls specifically an abomination to Himself, then have the audacity to classify them as a Christian, you are serving the wrong (g)od.
I think that we both are serving the same God, as well as most on this forum. The fact that you claim to be in agreement with most on this forum, as interpreting Romans one correctly, should open your eyes to the fact that the scriptures teach that very few have been given the knowledge of the doctrine of Christ (Matt 7:14 - life in this scripture is not eternal, but a life hereon earth of peace, and no fear) (Matt 20:16 - The few chosen are the remnant who has been revealed the knowledge of Christ's doctrine and the rest were blinded - Zeph 3:11-13) (Luke 10:2) Luke 12:32)
A practicing daily living homosexual and lifestyle can "never" be a Christian. Someone who has met God would "quit" being homosexual immediately.
When you have been brought up from the teaching of a false doctrine it becomes very hard to forsake it I was not revealed the knowledge of Christ's doctrine until I was 62 years old and am now 89. All I am asking is for you to consider all other scriptures that pertaining to the subject of the natural man's limitations. I believe that all scriptures must harmonize before we can understand the doctrine that Christ taught.
do you not believe that, If you are a teacher of the truth of God's word, you should be teaching the lost sheep of the house of Israel to repent and come unto a knowledge of the truth? Instead of condemning him to hell.
We were all born into this world by natural birth children of wrath, even as others, and had no trust in spiritual things, until we were born spiritually (Eph 2:1-5) Trusting in spiritual things is a product of being born again by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
You only condemn others by not being honest with them. If you are "truly saved and found salvation in God," you won't keep doing what you used to do. If someone keeps on being a murderer after claiming to be saved, they were "never saved" in the first place. Saved people stop doing the things that God hates like homosexuality, murder, adultery, lying, witchcraft, having idols.
I am trying to understand how you think, so, could you answer me this question? Are you one of those that believes once they have been born again they do not commit any sins?
