Well yea. That's specifically why I followed "repentance" up there with "renouncement of the lifestyle." Others might put it something like, oh, I dunno, maybe "Go forth and sin no more."
God's patience is infinite (or certainly greater than our comprehension, so who's counting?). Your life is not. At some point you can't go forth and do anything anymore, and no one knows when their time is up, so you'd best be right with God at all times. But if you're not, there's still time to get right. Until there's not.
I'm honestly convinced jews are more hopeless than homos, but neither show much sign of redemption by and large (talking angels on the head of a pin as to which group is less redeemable). So idk maybe. God's Will be done.
Sure... when you die in sin. But while you're alive you have opportunity for repentance and redemption. God, of course, never gives up or He'd have been done with us after The Flood. So He never stops speaking anymore than the truth stops being true (for He is truth). But many stop listening, and some even forget how to hear. I mean that's essentially Hell - living apart from God, suffering for it, and not knowing why you're suffering because without a concept of God, you can't even know you're in Hell.
Not knowing your in Hell would be one of the more brilliant parts of the torture IMO. But then again, I suppose, for the "I don't deserve this!" types, I suppose knowing would be the greater form of torture.
