Just to shut this kid up:
AUE: FAQ excerpt: Biblical sense of "to know"
know in the biblical sense - definition of know in the biblical sense by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Now do you "know" any more than you did a minute ago? Of course not because you are always right. Now child, run back to your gay lover and leave me alone.
Rotfl! No wonder you were scared to post the link. I provided two scholarly resources and you ignored those to link some guy named Mark Israel? Who the hell is that and please explain how his COMMENTARY trumps the facts I provided from the two sources? This is just another example of you not being able to support your claim. How do you justify your outright dishonesty?
Hey numbnuts, there are no facts to religion, there is simply faith. You have yours and I have mine, and mine says you are wrong, and always will be. Now go away kid you bother me.
Listen you pansified pussy assed pissant with the intelligence of a flea, there are several things you're missing here.........
First, it's a HEBREW (say it with me kiddies), as well as JEWISH listing of THEIR (not your) history.
It also helps to have a JEWISH SCHOLAR teach you the backstory.
First, Abraham was talking to God about stuff, and God told Abraham that He was going to wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah.
Abraham then told Him that his brother Lot was living there. God told him that he still had to destroy it, so Abraham started to negotiate for the city. He started by asking God that if there were 50 righteous people in there, would He spare it? God said yes, and Abraham then started to negotiate it down.
The number ended up being 5.
God then told Abraham that He would send in 3 angels to guide Lot and his family out of the city before it would be destroyed. One of the angels was called away for something else.
The remaining 2 went over to the city, and Lot was sitting at the gates (he liked to greet travelers and offer them hospitality).
The people of the city saw them come in, and immediately knew they were angels. It's not so much about the homosexuality (as most angels don't really have a specific gender), as it is about the fact that the people of the city were wicked, and they did that to others whenever they happened by.
Think of it as going into a Hell's Angels clubhouse in California. If you're not one of them, they will use and abuse you as they see fit, up until you're in the hospital, morgue or pregnant, and, it doesn't really matter what your gender is.
It was then that the angels told Lot they had to boogie.
Like I said, it helps to go to the people who actually wrote the book for the understanding, rather than just cherry picking stuff so that you can beat others over the head with it.
By the way, the program where I learned that? It's on God's Learning Channel on cable, and the name of the program is "Hidden in the Hebrew with Uri Harel".
Good stuff.
