Why do christians claim Sodom was destroyed for "homosexuality," when...?

I love your question and the point you made. I wonder how many so called Christians went straight out to Hooters after church this past Sunday. I wonder how many homeless people would give their right arm for some of that great food. I know what it's like to be hungry as hell, and to have to pass by and smell that awesome food. I wonder how many hungry people those fat Christians pass up, after just hearing an hour long sermon on this subject, and just look the other way. That is evil. And they think they are so great. Oh, and I am of the Christian religion. I have also been looked down upon and treated like crap by my own people.

What are you trying to pull. If one verse says that there sin was A and another says it was B then duh they did both those things. There were no Good people there except Lot. They all burned and Died, they did all kinds of evil including homosexuality. Where do you think the word sodomy came from? In the bible "to know" always means sex. What ever scholar you found to argue with this was someone who was simply trying to push some kind of secular agenda probably, saying that homosexuality is not a sin. IF they just wanted to hang out and talk then there would not have been any big deal. No one responds to the request "hey let us talk to your friends" o no you cant here take my daughters instead and rape them just don't talk to the guests in my house.

You need to go back to the drawing board.

i'm hoping this solutions your question....It describes the habit and is an similar as adultery and fornication. The time period gay did not take position contained in the English language until eventually the late 1700's. actual a form of Angels is known to were Jesus Himself. The angels were judging them for all their greed, cruelty and then the audacity to opt for to rape them.. In Biblical words it replaced right into a ceremony performed contained in the sanctuary for Baal worship. Effiminate is the note used contained in the hot testomony...youthful boys were compelled into male prostitution such as what got here about throughout the time of slavery contained in the hot international. both are resoundingly condemned. examine: second Kings 23: a million-7, 1st Corinthians 6:9,Mark 10: 4-7, Jude, Genesis 2:21-25, Romans a million, second Peter 3, Revelation 22:14, Leviticus Chapters 18-20, Deuteronomy 23:17, 1st Kings 14:24..

Did you ever read the account in Genesis when Abraham spoke personally to Jehovah about his righteous nephew Lot who was living in Sodom when Jehovah decided that the city was so full of wickedness that he was going to destroy it? Men and boys wanted Lot to send the angels out of his house so that they could have intercourse with them. The angels actually had to blind them so that they could take Lot and his family out of the house. The word sodomy actually comes from those wicked homosexuals. Have you ever looked up the word sodomy? The dictionary says: Sodomy: Any sexual intercourse held to be abnormal, especially bestiality or anal intercourse between two male persons. Please, Read Genesis 18:16-33 There were only four citizens who left that city; Lot, his wife, ;and their two daughters. They were so wicked that not aiding the poor came with their wickedness. The same is true today of greedy ungodly people. Why not learn more about ungodliness and its traits at www.jw.org. Ungodliness shows its ugly face in many areas of life.

Nice use of "pick and choose" theology. You have one text saying inhosptality, there are 5 that say homosexuality. Ever read the book of Jude? Give it a shot.

added: seriously? whatever. Long story short the people of Sodom and Gomorrah were thoroughly wicked. Clearly the homosexuality was one of their chief sins, and this is a sin that is an abomination in God's eyes. You want to try and call God a liar? Go for it and good luck with twisting His word

The bible has many books why not try reading them all

Try reading Genesis....where the episode occured

Sodom had lots of faults, CHIEF among them sexual depravity

Sinners rarely specialize

doink

Conservative christians also conveniently forget or twist beyond all reason the words "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me".

When did a fundie ever deal with reality.

Sodomy isn't when you shove food stamps up a bum's rectum
