In the specific context of Romans 1, no, if you took that statement and put it elsewhere, yes, it would apply to nearly all, if not all.
Admittedly I'm not surprised, but I wish you would display more brotherly/sisterly love. You talk down a lot, if ya' haven't noticed.
I don't pretend to be God. As far as judging goes, I suppose it depends on how you define judge. If by judging you mean, "pointing out what is true", then no, that is not what is happening in this thread.
Well, that would be pride, and it is an idol of many. Pride is something I must fight, however, I do not see where in this thread I have acted on such a basis. If you would quote the lines where such has happened, and point out how what is quoted is that, then I would greatly appreciate it.

Indeed.
On occasion I have. I don't think I have once in our discussion today said that you should hate homosexuals. All I have done thus far, as far as I can see, is point out the errors you are promoting. If you define that as hatred, then sign me up, but it would not be a biblical definition of hatred.

Nattmaran, you are young and I understand that. I was 15 once too 
. I just encourage you to keep reading the word of God an to submit to it....all of it. Every verse of every chapter is inspired and of God. Dont just pick and choose which parts you will accept and which parts you will dismiss.
Hang in there

It would be idolatry to create a God from my own desires. You know, like a giant vending machine in the sky that gives me what I want.
Also, Christ quoted the Old Testament when being tempted by the Devil in the desert.
I noticed, you seem to prefer your own ideas.
Matthew 19:26
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Secondarily, yes, anyone can quote a verse, not everyone understands the truth contained therein. That is why hermeneutics and exegesis is important.
If standing on the promises of God is hate, then I am glad to. I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of salvation.

Do you think slavery is okay for example... ?
I am just saying that you have to think for yourself... The bible is a book held in human hands through the history and possible the hands of the devil... So sure you can follow it blindly but God is not a book. To me the bible is the path to God... the story of how God has worked in this world and of Jesus that did come to save us.
But I do not think that the bible is created from Gods hand. If it was a book created by God himself it would be a book that when read clearly be of divine origin and not been debated and fought over for so long.
I am just scared of fanaticism... To me you miss the point of christianity.
