Maybe. But God will give people over to a reprobate mind. I'd say that the path back is difficult once that happens.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind

You don't have to look around very much these days to see people who have been given over to a reprobate mind.


The disciples asked Jesus why he spoke to Israel in parables. His answer is pretty shocking. So that hearing they will not understand or believe.

We also have the offensive account of God hardening hearts. Pharaoh being a prominent example.

God certainly does “give up” on people.
