Anyone remember "sin of Sodom and Gomorrah"?

[Moonglow]

What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?

n light of the passage, the most common response to the question "What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?" is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term "sodomy" came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men).

Uncovering Gay History in San Francisco

When one thinks of gay San Francisco, this isn’t usually what comes to mind. But the National Park Service has started a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history initiative, mapping out dozens of hidden gems like Osento in San Francisco and other places with unacknowledged ties to gay culture.

Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed by a great fire, could we be seeing the next great city meet the wrath of God with San Fransicko of Californication?

“You reap what you sow” means that there is an effect for everything people do or say, and that the effort a person puts into something will be rewarded appropriately in this life or the next. People use this phrase as a reminder to be kind and work hard.

perhaps you can 'splain why later in the story that lot had sex with his daughters & still justify that whole
S & G thingy as a biblical god sanctioned no no?

To be fair, Lot's daughters got him so drunk that he wasn't aware of what they were doing.

His Daughters, wrongfully, believed the world had been destroyed and fearful they would never have children, chose to use the only man they believed left in the world, their Father.

I'll have loved to see the look on their faces when they found out the world was still there.

oh c'mon.... i do not care how much booze flowed down one's gullet to not realize that your daughters are seducing you is unconceivable.

Drunkenness is a sin also. It must be remembered that Lot's daughters thought that everyone else was destroyed... What they did was wrong, however, their sin and Lot's were all influenced by the cities of sin. So homosexuality does influence society and its morality deeper than most liberals are willing to admit...

lot's daughters & their daddy had free will. just like when moses went up the mountain & most of those down on earth went all pagan.

Yup..I love it when folks cherry-pick the bible to support their own views. Lot offered his daughters to the crowd...touting them as virgins--then, later, he had sex with them--of course, the book blames the daughters..saying that they "plied him with wine".

There is cursory reading of the Bible...and there is studying the Bible. Some read, think they understand, and then accuse those who have studied as "cherry picking." Study the question of why any man would offer his daughters. The answer is that hospitality was so prized that rather than let anything happen to their guests, the family would stand between them and harm first.

Try studying the Old Testament with someone of the Jewish faith.

Sodom and Gomorrah greater sin was their lack of hospitality.

Exactly, something the gay bashers want to deny.

So fudge packing = good
Being a bad host = evil

So hospitality is more important than getting your fudge packed?

In scripture, there is only a single biblical injunction against homosexuality, specifically male homosexuality.

In the same scripture, there are three separate prohibitions of the mixing dairy products with meat at the same meal.

So, on the face of it, going to Burger King is three times as wrong, scripturally speaking, as man-on-man sex.

Well also in the Bible, it definately said that man on man sex was a great sin, and was in the 10 commandments..

Tha'll shalt not covet your neighbors ass.

What do you make of this history?

why? Unless they are orthodox, then JW's will do when it comes to following the good book right down to the letters.

King James letters? Seen through the lens of modern culture, and read/heard in English? Those letters are quite different than those written in Hebrew, and looked at through a perspective thousands of years old.

There has been so many "alterations" to the politically correct version of King James, because the church(full of gay men) dont want to offend precious little snowflakes.

Not why Angels were sent

It appears the first alteration by modern man is that Sodom and Gomorrah was only about homosexuality.

 

[Meriweather]

Not why Angels were sent

They were sent to destroy the cities because of their wickedness. Sexual behavior was only one aspect of that, not the aspect.

You do know that the term Sodomy (to penetrate the place when shit comes out of) was named after that famous city? I mean Sodomy could of meant, "a place where you pick up SOD" for your yard, but that just didnt happen....

How did the town treat Lot's visitors? Were they welcomed? Treated with respect?
