The text doesn't even say that.
The only thing that is reprobate (depraved) is their mind. Even your survey question asks that. A "reprobate mind".
Repentance is a change of mind. Away from depravity toward God. Yet you seem to claim that God would be unforgiving and unmerciful toward them. Is that your claim? Who is this god you have created? A god that withholds mercy and forgiveness? Is that the God we worship? (nope)
Romans 1:28 NIV
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
Romans 1:28 KJV
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Forgive me but this sounds foolish ''The only thing that is reprobate (depraved) is their mind'' well once the mind is reprobate the person is shot through I would think.
And this rebellion against Gods will you are displaying is not very Christ like in my opinion. Saying things like ''A god that withholds mercy and forgiveness?'' or God doesn't predestine people to a reprobate to a reprobate mind etc. Well God does what he choices with his creation and I would ask who are you to challenge him?
The heathen asks questions just like that:''Why would a loving God create a hell? Why does God allow suffering?'' Well I expect a greater level of submission from Christians who don't challenge God but accept his authority without rebellion.
His says he gives them over to a reprobate mind and I believe he gives them over to a reprobate mind. I'll go even further than that,that yes they do deserve to be rejected because of the vile affections they choose,like being a sodomite.
