Pastor: Kermit deserves ‘death penalty’ for taking ‘sodomy route’

[SlimJimmy]

53. I read your link and several others that say that inhospitaity was the reason for the

destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. In researching this, I also found this link. I guess the debate rages on. Personally, as an agnostic, I have no reason to believe or disbelieve either version.

Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me..." The Hebrew word translated "detestable" refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an "abomination." Similarly, Jude 7 declares, "...Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion." So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin in which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities.
