The Bible calls sodomites sinners and says they are going to Hell.
True story........
In Biblical stories, Sodom was a city. Sodomites are residents of the city. God destroyed the city because the residents were cruel to strangers, to the poor, and to the sick. Their sin was their arrogant lack of concern for their fellow man. Who are the true sodomites?
I think you're a little confused
Well then, enlighten me. Didn't Jesus tell his "believers" to love thy neighbor? to give alms to the poor? to tend to the sick? Where in the Bible did Jesus ask tell his "believers" to engage in hateful oppression and to justify it by using his name?
Please, lift that alleged veil of confusion that prevents me from seeing the truth about the haters among us.
No Debra, you got it right.
“As I live, saith the LORD GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,
- abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,
- [Inhospitality] neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were
- haughty, and
- committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.” -Ezekiel 16:48-50
Let's break down the story of Lot and Sodom.
Sodom was doing all those things listed above, idol worship, inhospitality, being shitty to the poor, etc. God sent his angels down to the town and Lot gave the hospitality of his home.
“for therefore [for hospitality] came they
under the shadow of my roof” -Gen 19:8
When a mob came to his house to essentially rape the angels (like you could really rape a 10 foot being of light)...and let me remind the cheap seats that rape is not about consenting adult relationships, love or even sex...it's about power...our hero, Lot says "no, don't rape these angels that can't even be raped anyway, rape my virgin daughters instead.
Angry mobs being what they are, angry mobs wanted nothing to do with that so the angels say "nope, no hope here...these fuckers still want to rape us. Lot, get you, the little woman and the virgins the hell outta dodge, we're burning this sucker down!"
So...Lot and the family grab the cat carrier and the good china and head for the hills. Wifey screws up, 'cause that's what chicks do in the bible, and gets turned into a pillar of salt. What does Lot do? Gets drunk and ***** his daughters.
Somebody please explain out of this whole story about rape, inhospitality idol worship and
incest, consenting adult gay relationships end up with the bad rap? Anyone?
