Once again, your words are a comfort. Thank you.

But what about some kid who neglects some scriptures and elevates the wrong priorities?

He believes in Jesus — his parents don’t take him to church though. And he gets so mixed up that he kills people for the sake of animal rights?

But he honestly thinks he is doing what God wants.

I remember when I was in high school I did not see why homosexuals should go to hell. To me they weren’t hurting anybody. Minding their own business, etc. I was/am straight, but I didn’t want them to burn — still don’t to be honest.

The kid has to pay his debt to society, but he can still be forgiven by God and washed in the blood, as long as he repents, and believes in and accepts Jesus sacrificial, subsitionary death on the cross for his sin.

If he does not believe he has sinned, then his heart is beyond any human reach. But praise the Lord! God can still reach him with His preserved word.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart

Perhaps God will provide a way for the kid to sit down and really get into His word.

God does not want sodomites to burn in hell either, so much so He sent His only begotten Son to die for them on a cross. Remember hell was not prepared for any human regardless of who they are:

Matthew 5:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

But unless one turns to Biblical Christianity that is where they end up, but God does not want them there.
