You believe Romans is considered the gospels

I believe the book of (Romans) is the Word of God. Do you?

(Romans 2) still concerns those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. This is not the believers in Christ, for the believers in Christ recognize themselves sinners and so have come to Christ.

(Rom. 2) concerns those who are 'good people' but not saved people. It concerns also the Jews who think they are not guilty of the sins of (Rom. 1) because they have the law. Both sets of people reject Jesus Christ.

It’s impossible to give mercy if you haven’t received it.

I believe the gospels are a record of God displaying the Truth, and the epistles are a record of God stating what his truth means for the born again believer.

Absolutely. Have you allowed what I said about masterbation to soak in?

Masterbation is not the subject. Homosexuality is.

That is a lie. The homosexuality is defined in (Rom. 1:26-27).

Your effort to equate the two is worthless.

I really do not care what the world does or accepts. I expect the world to behave this way. It is no surprise when the world behave ungodly, but when it begin to be embraced, accepted, and defended by the Christian community, then that is another matter entirely. For those who may not know any better, defending homosexuality is nothing more than a rationalization process by which people attempt to normalize deviant choices that cannot be justified through any legitimate psychological exercise. This is simply an attempt to placate a conscience that cannot harmonize the thing one desires and the moral limitations that prohibit the behavior. Homosexuality is not a biological issue. it is a sin issue. It is not socially acceptable behavior, it is a social and moral disgrace. Homosexuality is not an illness nor is it some type of genetic abnormality. Homosexuals are NOT born gay. That argument is nothing more than an attempt to appeal to the scientific community and call them as a witness against the word of God to defend this perverted behavior. Homosexuality is a learned behavior and a matter of choice, not a predilection. There is no "pride" in it, nor should it be afforded any measure of dignity. IT IS SIN, and in the end, it will destroy all who engage in it or stand in its defense. Attempting to explain it away scientifically is nothing more than an attempt to excuse the behavior and marginalize its shame. Yes, we are to love the sinner but, we are not permitted to accept the sinner on his or her own terms. Sin must be repented of and put aside. That is called repentance. Without that, there is no association with God no mater what the person may claim.

I saw this posted some time back on face book and it is absolutely true. It is a simple matter of facts.
(Roughly quoted from a post on “The Federalist Papers” website, May 28, 2018. Words in red were added by me.)
1. In a sexual species, there are only two sexes, male and female.
2. 99.93% of humans have either XX or XY sex chromosomes (the rest is mutation).
3. Being one sex but thinking you are another is not a biological issue, it is a psychological disorder.
4. Mandating a widespread enabling of a psychological disorder is a sociopathy.

I feel compassion for those who are caught up in the homosexual lifestyle. They are usually victims of childhood and early adolescent sexual abuse. Unfortunately, sexual perversion begets more sexual perversion. That is how Sodom was nearly universal in that way--the Bible makes that clear. Yet, the Bible condemns homosexual practice. God only recognizes one man, one woman, in marriage, as the basis for sexual expression--He forbids all the rest.

Pay attention. (Rom 1:26-27) is addressing homosexuality.

Look I’m not stating your a homosexual,I’m just trying to understand how you judge them and can’t be condemned under the same offense according to God’s word in Romans 2 that I quoted earlier?

You are completely missing the point friend. It is not we who are judging, it is the word of God. All we are doing is showing what scripture has to say about homosexuality, those who practice it, and those who stand in its defense. God has left no doubt about how he feels about homosexuality and the judgment he has pronounced upon it.

Your sin is none of my business. I am called to love you and model love - hopefully you will also love others and therefore lead a less sinful life - this is our sanctification

"Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted." Gal. 6:1. "
"Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning." 1 Tim. 5:20
This make my brother's sin my business and it makes my sin his business.
