None of the biblical references to Sodom mention sexual sins but view Sodom as an example of injustice, lack of hospitality to strangers, idolatry and as a symbol for desolation and destruction. Would you like to see the related Bible verses..?
Tom, for someone who claims to know the Bible, you and Cletus, and this board are the last remnants of the people in the world to still believe that this parable has anything to do with homosexuality.. The story of Sodom clearly teaches that evil and violent people who attack aliens and strangers whom they do not know or understand receive God's quick and terrible punishment.
Since you will filter out everything in this post, please address this point, S&G was condemned to be destroyed before the angels arrived, how then, does the destruction relate to said homosexuality..?
Related Bible verses, if you can find another that relates S&G to homosexuality (outside of the story in Genesis), feel free to post it:
Just so you don't sound completely ignorant when spouting off your BS about homosexuality..

Okay you are wrong how about that.. God already addressed it and you are wrong..Here read it for yourself..
Genesis 18: 17-23
17And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21
I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

Wow what a dork you have made of yourself before God... Who is ignorant...? sure isn't me...! now if you were a man you would say "Gee Tom I haven't really read the bible I have just been regurgitating what the homos have feed me. Thanks for opening my eyes and helping me to think for myself.."
Now did you notice that God said IF..I bolded the text for you... since I know you will ignore all of the rest of this post, I know that it offends your world view...Then Abraham pleaded with God not to do it. He even bargained him down to if there are 10 righteous men.. Ah but that is the key... Any city where sodomites run free there are not ten righteous men.. So God was willing to not destroy it IF there were 10 righteous men..
And since the sodomites said they wanted to have sex with the angles.Thinking S&G was destroyed because of homosexuality is a real S T R E E T C H that is for sure. I know the ignorant bafoons like me and Clete who would just take the text for what it says are so dumb it is a wonder we can even sit upright..
So when it says sodomites will not go to heaven in the NEW TESTAMENT. It means people who are living in sodom Is that what your are telling me...?
1 Corth. 6:9
arsenokoites {ar-sen-ok-oy'-tace}
the greek word for sodomite, it is what they called a FAG in their day.
it is translated you can learn more here <http://www.blueletterbible.org/cgi-bin/words.pl?word=733&page=1>
Deuteronomy 23:17
"There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
Wasn't sodom already destroyed? so why would that be a worry.. Oh that is right it was destroyed because of not being hospitable. So I could translate this to say,
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor an in hospitable son of Israel... So one is showing too much hospitaltiy and the other is not showing enough with your translation... LOL
Now I can answer the questions for you but I can't understand it for you...
Sounds like you might be another closeted homo that we have running around here since only homos defend homosexuality...
