sodom and gommorah was destroyed because the angels GOD sent could only find 1 good man. that was LOT who with his daughters and wife escaped the city but was told by GOD not to look back but LOTs wife did and she was turned into a pillar of salt.the term "gay" never came up in the bible as i know,but very sinful men and women lived in the city and were destroyed along with sodom and gomorrah.it is true that by the blood of JESUS you will be saved from all your sins if you ask to be forgiven but you have to turn away from your sinful ways.that means you can be saved from being gay and the sinful life you lead but after that you cant go back to the old way of life

God is good and kind?
Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name
Exodus 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel

Everybody can be saved. But you know what?? Everybody does not want to be saved. You just read and see that a lot of people here do not want God to tell them what to do or how to live. A lot of sodomites like their lifestyle and do not want out.
God wants everyone to be saved, but they have to repent and ask forgivness for their sins.
Across the street from my house, there is a man about 25 that is a homosexual and the high school kids come to his house after school and spend time inside with him. This is a serious crime (if they are doing sodomy) because these are 15 & 16 year old kids. That is how they are turned because they are in the middle of handling their new emotions and feelings and this man starts them on the path to sodomy.. Many of these people don't want Christ to save them

THEY WILL BE IN THE JUDGEMENT DAY Matt.10:15
Heb.9:27 [ it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgement ];
1Cor,15:22-28 [ All will be there in the judgement day, any lost has self to blame ];
SODOM AND GOMORRAH DESPISE GOVERNMENT
[ UNLAWFUL TO THE LAW OF GOD AND THE LAW OF THE LAND WITH MAN ].
If ten [ 10 ] righteous persons found nothing would be destroyed. Even angels did not have the right of self morals. Jude 7,8; Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. SODOM AND GOMORRAH MAJORITY HAD NO RESPECT FOR THE LAWS OF THE LAND. The way they treated the visiting angels is evident the had no respect for anyone. 2Pet.2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2Pet.2:7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 2Pet.2:8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2Pet. 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 2Pet.2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. THERE WILL BE A JUDGEMENT DAY: Heb.9:27; 2Cor.5:10; Rom.14:9-12; 1Cor.6:3,4 [ Judges ]; Jude 6;
Matt.10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Matt.10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. JUDGEMENT DAY: Matt.12:36; Philip.2:5.9-12; Acts 24:15; John 5:26-29; Dan.12:2; Psm.49:14; 104:29,30; 115:15-17; 146:3,4;

It is not religion that has taught us that they were destroyed because they were gay. Rather, it is the inspired word of God at Jude 7 - which plainly states that these people were destroyed because they committed fornication and went out after flesh for unnatural use. Jude goes on to say that they are placed before us as a warning example. That is a sobering thought. And if we would be pleasing to God, we need to take it to heart.
The Greek word here rendered "fornication" is porneia. It is the same word used by Jesus at Matthew 5:32 as the only scriptural basis for divorce. It is the same word used by the apostle Paul at 1 Corinthians 5:1-5.
Porneia - fornication is condemned throughout God's word the Bible. It covers a wide range of immoral sexual intimacy, including, but not limited to, sexual intimacy between those of the same gender. Sexual intimacy between those of the same gender is no worse than adultery or sexual intimacy without the benefit of marriage. But it is still unacceptable in God's eyes.
I know it is hard for many to accept this because people fall in love with each other - even people of the same gender. But romantic love does not excuse just any sort of behavior. David probably fell in love with Bathsheba but that did not justify his behavior in the eyes of God. It is dangerous to put our emotions and desires above the standards of God. That is what put us in this condition in the first place.
God meant for us to love each other in romantic settings and he gave us the gift of sexual intimacy. But he did not give it without any parameters. We must enjoy this wonderful gift within the parameters He has set - or else we will find ourselves at odds with Him. Is that truly a place where we want to be?

There are numerous accessible solutions... a million) God did not ruin Sodom over homosexuality, yet yet another offense of which San Francisco isn't accountable. Inhospitality is usually pronounced instead. 2) God replaced his concepts. Over the centuries, he got here to realize there is not something inherently incorrect with homosexuality. 3) God died in the propose time. God have been given old and in the top in basic terms died; possibly he became succeeded by using his son, who has a diverse opinion on homosexuality. 4) God is powerless now. God´s means diminished over the a while, possibly by way of fact his means became a non-renewable source, possibly by way of fact it trusted the perception of his followers, possibly by way of fact some thing we did interferes with it (iron chariots?). 5) God did not ruin Sodom; it became in basic terms destroyed by using a organic disaster, and later generations extra a mythical, pseudo-ethical measurement to the story. To me, this looks the main in all probability rationalization by using a ways. "The habit that became happening in Sodom and Gomorrah would not have stepped forward in one day. it could have stepped forward over an prolonged era. " How long, i ask your self? Sodom became supposedly destroyed 392 years after the international-extensive Flood (I checked) that exterminated practically the finished international inhabitants. whilst became that city generic? by using whom? how many people lived there? Couldn´t have been that many, in basic terms 392 years after a genetic bottleneck that left in basic terms 4 breeding couples.

Thank you for pointing that out, but I can't help wondering........did you do it because it is the truth and the right thing to do, or are you just on a membership drive and this is an advertising gimmick top reel in the usually lost ten percent of the population in the gay community?

Everybody has a right to believe what they want to - too bad your beliefs are so screwed up. And let's cool it with the gay bashing - according to your story anyone who is gay is doomed. What a crock!
