Are you suggesting that they don’t have free will, and that they cannot come to Christ because God has blinded them?

Does God give one chance, two, three....or how many...until He blinds people?

Or is everyone blind, and only those whose hearts are opened does He grant the power to receive the truth?

GOD knows a repentful heart, a sinful heart a sincere heart and a un-willing heart.

I believe GOD knows who is *Un-willing* and for those, yes he will blind them.....

If Gays were in the church asking for forgiveness with a sincere heart..GOD hears and forgives, but you cannot be in Church and say:
I am a practicing homosexual who believes in the *Gospel* and expect GOD to hear you, let alone forgive you.

Amen, X. That seems to be the only reasonable, faithful answer which not coincidentally, gives all the glory to God alone.
