"It speaks to those that know the scriptures"

I don't believe that is correct.

The earlier verses of Romans 1 clearly outline that all of humanity is accountable to obey God because of the evidence that creation itself provides.

No person is excused from the knowledge of God. However, Christ has provided a path to salvation through his blood, (if we choose that path**,) because we are incapable of keeping God's law.

That is why I believe that Christians only duty is to spread the truth, (both in word and deed,) about salvation through Jesus Christ. We can do what we want in the political arena but I believe the evidence proves that we are beyond a political solution.

"The Fix is In" and the enemy's time is short...

**It's really God that does the choosing although He lets us have our part... ;-)

I’m not saying that all people aren’t accountable, I’m saying that those who know the scripture are being singled out by Paul in this verse. This is a direct message to those in the Roman church who know what scripture says, claim to be adherents to the faith, and yet either participate in the debauchery around them or approve of the debauchery around them.

Often I run into Christians who think that homosexuality is fine to support because they are not homosexual but they don’t want to judge those who are. This verse makes it clear that by supporting and encouraging the lifestyle, those believers are just as guilty as those trapped in the lifestyle of homosexuality.
