Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

So you see, my Friend, in Romans 1:26-32 Paul is not condemning homosexuals at all,
but is rather quoting a common condemnation thereof made by conservative Jews of his day.
And what Romans 2:1-11 then shows us immediately thereafter is that Paul actually condemns
their condemnation! He does so openly in Romans 2, and he continues to do so consistently
all the way to the end of this letter! (see Romans 3:21-23, Romans 5:18, Romans 7:6, Romans
8:14, Romans 8:28-30, Romans 9:23-26, Romans 10:12-13, Romans 12:3, Romans 12:16-18,
Romans 14:4, Romans14:10-14 & Romans 15:2)
―We know that all things work together for good for those who love God; those who are
called according to His purpose … As indeed He says in Hosea: ‗Those who were not my people
I will call my people, and she who was not beloved I will call beloved.‘ … Let us therefore no
longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block in the
way of another.‖ ~ Romans 8:28 + Romans 9:25 + Romans 14:13
In short then, the passage from Romans that you cite here is actually part of a rhetorical
refrain (that should have been placed in quotation marks, had punctuation marks been used by the
ancient writers in their day), with the condemnations mentioned therein being blatantly & overtly
rejected by Paul immediately thereafter in Romans 2:1-11; a passage in which he essentially
stated that we are all to a degree idolaters … that we are all to a degree fornicators … that we are
all to a degree of ―depraved mind‖ (and that a significant few of us even engage in homosexual
sex) … and that that we are all therefore to humble ourselves before God …
… and that we are all therefore to STOP JUDGING ONE ANOTHER!
