Page 417 … God’s wrath & Gomorrah
“Christ used the destruction of the cities of Sodom & Gomorrah as dramatic examples of God’s wrath … Throughout the Old Testament, prophets described these cities as being notorious for the practice of homosexuality.”
Well my Friend, your first sentence is indeed accurate, at least in the sense that Jesus did mention the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah in three of the four verses you cited nearby (Mark 6:11 has nothing to do with either Sodom or Gomorrah, and as such is incorrectly cited by you here), and yet never does Jesus claim that his heavenly Father was the one who rained down “fire and sulfur” on those towns … Indeed, seeing as how Jesus is supposedly the all-knowing Son of God (at least according to you & yours), then he would have had to have known that it was not God at all who destroyed those cities, but rather the Elohim (the fallen angels who so often posed as God in the book of Genesis) who did so. Indeed, a quick check of the ancient Greek used in the relevant texts shows this to be so …
Far more importantly, of course, your second statement is actually completely false, for Jesus never once claimed that Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed by the Elohim because of either homosexuality or homosexual lasciviousness (though that is something that the fallen angels – who wanted mankind to “be fruitful and multiply”; literally, to “swarm over and overfill the Earth” – would indeed have disliked). In fact, the book of Ezekiel doesn’t make this claim either. In fact, the “sin” that actually condemned Sodom & Gomorrah wasn’t even remotely related to homosexuality, but rather came about due to their inhabitants’ repeated refusal to care for the downtrodden in their midst – their repeated refusal to Care for those in need … But let’s not take my word for it – let’s let the Bible itself do the talking, shall we?
“This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.” ~ Ezekiel 16:49\
“Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed all of them.” ~ Jesus Christ (Luke 17:28-29)
So quite clearly, in the case of Ezekiel, Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed for not aiding the poor, and according to Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, they were destroyed during an obvious time of materialism & rampant gluttony. As such, homosexuality itself was quite clearly not the cause of Sodom & Gomorrah’s tragic fall – and indeed nothing negative whatsoever about homosexuality itself was mentioned in any of the verses you cited!
