This Christian-mocker will have to answer for herself.

Will she get something like scales on her eyes?

Like my Dad--a Methodist minister--taught me:

"I do not have to answer for others' actions--I only have to answer for mine."

Scales are not an excuse. I don't think I need to suggest that everyone review Romans Chapter One, but I will any how.

Regardless of others' ignorant views and misplaced compassion, God's viewpoint in that text and context is that He has given up people like Miley Cyrus on the basis of (eis in the foundational sense) moral uncleanness, vile affections, unnatural use of their bodies, same-gender arousal to gratify their reproductive apparatus, and reprobate minds, with not only doing those things, but having great pleasure in encouraging others to join them in reviling Christians and their commitment to the Lord.

If God has not saved them from their wickedness, then He has given them over to it, and Beloved John's mature spiritual counsel to immature disciples, according to what I read, is not to pray for such a one--don't waste your time. You might rather be spending the equivalent time praying for those who may yet be saved, and ministering to the saints who are being reviled and persecuted.

Plus, it is just as evil to commend religionists whose works-based plan of salvation is just as evil in its sincere and persistent desire to gain followers to their system as Cyrus does for her ways; I think we ought to pray for them, not with them.

More likely she will get arrested, go into Rehab and get religion.

2 Peter 3:9    King James Version (KJV)

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
