[“Our Kingdom Come”?
Yeah, that may seem to happen, for about 7 years while the wrath of heaven explodes around them while they aren’t repenting because they will think that their tolerance and licence is right and good, but it ends in death, judgment and finally condemnation to the lake of fire.]
Correct. That phrase caught my eye, too. Satan’s kingdom come. Hope they’re ready for what shall come. As we know, they aren’t. But they are reprobate.
Here I need to take a bit of issue: being turned over to a reprobate mind seems more of a danger that someone who has known the Gospel and something about righteousness BUT who has in reality refused to repent (their outward appearance of religion aside) will face.
Now in this country we have been awash in the Gospel and as a nation we are without excuse; but, as Satan and his demons have labored to keep real awareness of it at bay in as many people as they can, notably by erecting strawman after strawman for people being deceived to reject, they have created circumstances where those who seem farthest from the Gospel may not be while those who outwardly seem near, though they are in fact in a Romans 1:18-32 condition, are actually the farthest.
There is likely much more hope for some outrageous poofter and back door bandit who has not in fact yet rejected the real Gospel to receive that actual Gospel, to realize the truth and to actually repent, than there is for any seemingly to the world temperate and pious pew warmer who is nevertheless cheering the homosexuals on and trying to get the Church to repent of righteousness rather than repent of the sins of the world themselves.
The former may be just a sinner where the latter is actively trampling underfoot the Son of God being the basis for this line of reasoning,
Now, that doesn’t meant there aren’t homosexuals who have had real knowledge about the Gospel and about righteousness — in their intellect only — who are boldly unrepentant ... I’m not saying they have hope ... just that a homosexual who has YET to really reject the Gospel has more hope than they do.
Or at least there may still be some hope for them to repent at all. I say that given the real possibility that being turned over to a reprobate mind, when it actually happens, may mean that Christ has stopped knocking and it’s already factually too late ... as opposed to it meaning being turned over to become as bad as bad can be where that judgment may still have room for repentance.
