[quote:Anonymous Coward 13950159:MV8yMDg3MTMyXzM1MTQxNDMyX0VEOUQ1QkI1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7254491:MV8yMDg3MTMyXzM1MTQxMzI4XzExMUM5NTZG] According to God, engaging in homosexuality is vile (Rom. 1:27), unholy and profane (1 Tim. 1:10), and those who do so will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9). What was your point again OP? [/quote] Yes, even if homosexuality isn't directly and specifically mentioned regarding Sodom and Gommorah. We must read all the Bible, to find out how God views homosexuality. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. [/quote]
Original Message
They were destroyed for a couple of other reasons:
-They weren't charitable to the poor. The people were haughty and decadent and didn't look after the lowest among them.
-They weren't hospitable to strangers. In fact, they were downright xenophobic and violent toward strangers.
-Their sexual crime was that of rampant
rape
, not consenting gay sex. It wasn't so much whether or not they were having homosexual relations; they were punished because they were sexually violent.
Seriously. Go look it up. Sodom and Gomorrah are not good examples to use if you're trying to argue against homosexuality from a Biblical standpoint.
