He has payed a great price to redeem them and yet unless they change their hearts their future is surely a bleak thing. If I coddle such a person and I deny God's Word to appease them it is akin to causing them great harm.

That is exactly right my son . We cannot coddle these persons. Especially if we know that these persons do know the way but are going their own way. I see it in my own family. My gay neice,her mother keeps feeling sorry for her and her relationships as they go amiss. Oh she says she must be really feeling the pain and hurt when the two girls broke up. Sorry , that does not cut it. We have to take a different approach. When this girl told me( because she knows the way) she is going to Hell and she knows it and I tried to talk to her and she rejected me., I said to myself, I must pray for this girl and that is the only way she is going to see the truth and sorry but if she died today she would not have another chance.
