Let's talk about Sodom and Gomorrha.

That being stated, your intepretation of this issue of homosexuality not being evil is a very incorrect one -- and again, I sincerely hope that some of what I've posted has assisted you in understanding how dangerous such a position can be.

To assert that the last recorded acts of a group of Sodomites is proof that Sodom and Gomorra were destroyed for homosexuality is equivocal to asserting that a condemned man cursing his guards on the way to his execution is being executed for cursing the guards; Sodom and Gomorra were planned for destruction long before the mob converged on the home of Lot and demanded to rape his guests.

Homosexuality is not cited anywhere in Genesis 19 as a cause of the destruction of the two cities. In fact, the reason God destroys Sodom and Gomorra is stated clearly in Ezekiel 16:49-50:

"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

Thus they were haughty before Me and I removed them when I saw it."

Furthermore, the sex of the angels is irrelevant; Had the angels been female, it would not suddenly be acceptable to rape them.

Problem being you're all still wrong about this somehow justifying homosexuality as not being an evil-sinful attraction...😉

Your guard analogy is also a poor one, because it insinuates that "cursing" at authority is not an evil behavior, simply because someone is being punished for something else. If anything, such addtional evil behavior only further helps demonstrate why Sodom was condemned over other nations. The pride that they had when commiting their sins, was comparable to that of the condemned man cursing at the guards.

So you and Feceman are only partially correct with this interpretation.
Sodom and Gommorah was not solely destroyed for the sin of homosexuality. Rather, they were destroyed for being extremely prideful and unrepentant for all of the sins they had commited.

My apologies Feceman - the second quote was actually Adam Poe's not yours.

But I love you...😮 Well, maybe not love, but respect.

Well, a thread about Sodom and Gomorrah isn't really relevant to the New Testament.

But I'm sure I love you too.
