Hey, religious fanatics: Learn the Bible BEFORE you make asses out of yourself , like the idiots following mayor Pete and heckling him.
"Remember Sodom and Gomorrah" they scream. Apparently they only read the parts that they want and not the whole story. It was destroyed, not because of "homosexuality" but because it was "evil". God destroyed every man, woman and child. Every animal. Every temple and church. Every politician, jail, Synagogues. Everything. Ministers, Priests, teachers, farmers, mothers and fathers, doctors and lawyers. EVERYONE, not "just homosexuals". Read your Bible. It was evil period. Lot couldn't find "one" good person in either city; not one. Not one "man of God", not one politician. Not one. He didn't destroy it for "being" Homosexual or for homosexuality. He destroyed it for being EVIL.
For Bestiality. For lawlessness. For Rape and murder. For screwing over the people and for them screwing over others too. He wasn't upset over homosexuality, but for the raping and brutality that wasn't restricted to Sex. They had leaders like Trump, who felt women were beneath them. That thought sex was okay anytime, anywhere, with anyone, regardless of sex, age or species.
I am sick of people quoting only the portions they deem "important" and ignoring the others as "irrelevant". It makes you look like the idiots you are. In Ezekiel 16:48–50, God compares Jerusalem to Sodom, saying "Sodom never did what you and your daughters have done." He explains that the sin of Sodom was that "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." Funny how he DIDNT mention "Homosexuality", isn't it?
Word origin of 'Gomorrah' is Hebrew. It means:
noun
1. Old Testament
one of two ancient cities near the Dead Sea, the other being Sodom, that were destroyed by God as a punishment for the wickedness of their inhabitants (Genesis 19:24)
2.
any place notorious for vice and depravity
Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers
Sodom means the same. As noun a Sodom A wicked or depraved place.
Funny how "homosexuality ISN'T mentioned in either definition, isn't it?
I am beginning to believe there should be some sort of "standardized testing" to become a minister or priest or preacher. To show some sort of basic knowledge of the Bible you pretend to understand and "teach" your offensive opinions about.
To the idiots following Mayor Pete: Go back to your churches and read the Book you pretend to know, before you scream about Sodom And Gomorrah. God wiped out people like you too for falsifying his word to justify your hate of others. You sound stupid. You look stupid. You sound Stupid. And your shear ignorance of the book you preach is the very reason religion is on the decline and failing to get people to follow. Shut up. Go Home and "read" the Bible as it is written, not how you choose to read or interpret it. Your failing miserably. I am getting tired of your piety and know it all attitudes, when you truly don't understand it at all.
