Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ...
God sees the heart. God knows exactly what the person is doing. God certainly sees things about the human that we do not see.
Most humans try to look "good" to others. So by their outward appearance and even the things they say in public, they try to present themselves as being "good" people.
God knows what they really are and sometimes God will "turn them over to a reprobate mind to do those things that are not convenient." (Romans 1:28)

God knows what they really are and sometimes God will "turn them over to a reprobate mind to do those things that are not convenient." (Romans 1:28)
God knows that which is really in the heart of the individual and God knows that which the person is doing in private.
Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 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;

On October 13, 2021, God brought to my attention the fact that what they were doing was such an offense to God, that HE "gave them up to vile affections". God judged what they were doing.
So if I continue to think well of them, I am saying, "God's judgment against them was questionable for they are really nice persons."
I saw I must not judge them as good when God has judged them as doing evil and turned them over to a reprobate mind to do those things that are not convenient.
I must not set myself against the judgment God has rendered which they by their acts make visible to all.
When I saw this, I repented and turned from that good that I had been thinking about those who have been turned by God into "vile affections" and to accept the fact that God has judged them as doing evil and therefore turned them over to a reprobate mind and to vile affections.
I must accept that God is always right in HIS judgment. God sees all and knows all and knows their private acts and their private thoughts.
I Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
So in the future, I have purposed to recognize, when I see a homosexual or lesbian or a person who has a reprobate mind, to think on this: That individual did something which caused God to turn him over to vile affections or a reprobate mind.
God's judgment is always correct ... so I set myself to agree with God's judgments rather than overturning the judgment of God by my own thinking.
