Sodom and Gomorrah is also mentioned by Jude in his letter. At Jude 7, not only does Jude explain, under divine inspiration, that those inhabitants practiced fornication (Greek: porneia), but he also says that what happened to them is placed before us as a warning example by their having undergone the judicial punishment of destruction. He also parallels their practice of fornication with that practiced by the angels that forsook their original (heavenly) place to come to earth and have sexual relations with the daughters of men. See verse 6.
Thus, the specific sin, according to the inspired record, is fornication.

according to hazard no toddlers lived there. according to hazard it grow to be a place the place in easy terms adults lived...who knows. interior the e book of Genesis commencing in bankruptcy 18, verse sixteen Abraham is pleading to God for sodom and gomorrah and he asks God grow to be he incredibly going to interrupt the harmless with the responsible and he suggested to God if there are 50 harmless people interior the city will He wreck the entire city? God spoke back him asserting if He got here upon 50 harmless people in sodom and gomorrah He might spare the entire city for his or her sake. then Abraham asked God if there have been in basic terms 40 5 innocents there might He wreck it and God suggested the comparable element. then Abraham suggested if there are in easy terms 40 might God detroy the city and God suggested no. finally, after it sluggish Abraham asked God if there have been 10 harmless people left in sodom and gomorrah might God wreck the entire city and God suggested he won't wreck it if there are 10. all of this means that God had no purpose of destroying sodom and gomorrah if there grow to be any harmless people living there. in spite of everything i've got confidence God's reason for destroying that place grow to be justified because of the fact He knew everybody there grow to be sinning. God do no longer owe us mere mortals any rationalization of what He makes a decision to do. He created us in spite of everything. The author knows what He created and God knows us all completely properly.

If this was a theology exam I'd prepare better, but as I recall the specific sin was "lack of hospitality." I'm sure "other things" had something to do with it, but they are never mentioned specifically in the Hebrew Bible.

The bibldegook does not actually specify - it just refers to gross immorality.
However, in the bibledegook God then commits an act of mass murder on two cities. Even Hitler never did that.
Some God, eh. It just does not get more immoral than that.

who knows? YHWH destroys whoever he feels like destroying! GOSH!
Seriously, read Numbers and try and find one mass murder on YHWH's side that makes any sense (and there are a lot).
