I had already figured this out and did not need popes or bishops to clarify it. On the other hand, when God sees that someone has so embraced their sin that they defy correction (think: Homosexuals), Paul says that God “gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Rom 1:27) so Jesus doesn’t lead us into temptation but God can give them over to depravity if they turn their backs long enough.

he leaves us to deal with our decisions as a good Father would..His way is not ours, His vision is forever..When we turn from him we live in our darkness and are tempted through an increasingly depraved mind, not centered on the way of God..like the world today

Think again.


 

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
