Reread the later verses of Romans 1. Jenner sounds much more like he’s been turned over to his own degenerate heart after he already has been given providence and turned it down.
All I can do, when I see his lost and confused face, is to pray for him, as I pray for all of us.
His misery is obvious to us, but our own misery could be hidden from ourselves, as we search for a sense of superiority, in an misguided effort to hide from our own failures and flaws.
We are all lost in this messed up world, and because we are blind to our own faults, so we choose instead to focus on his. None of us gets brownie points in heaven for being a bit better in our sense of the “sin scale” than Bruce Jenner, in our worldly conditioning.
Jesus went willingly to the cross for all of our sins, no matter how big or small. Our silly delusions that we are a bit better that some other miscreant poor misled sinner, and therefore we are more deserving isn’t how I think it works
Our shared human hubris is a sin in itself. We have all fallen short, each of us in our own idiosyncratic ways.
That doesn’t mean to say we do not excuse those who try to justify sin, or that we shouldn’t notice the ways our fellow humans have been led astray. We should be sad for their failures, and we should pray for their salvation, as we pray for our own flaws and failures.
We all need to turn away from the illusions, corruption, and nonsense of this world, but we should be kind, as Jesus was, to those among us who are deluded, lost, and stuck. We can pray for them as we pray for our own sins and errors.
Worldly success is no protection from ultimate failure in His eye.
