Why did your GOD burn down a whole city (women and children included) simply because they were??

Question

supposedly homosexual??
Genesis 19:23-25

Please give a convincing answer....and stay realistic. Come up with facts...and don't tell tales!!!

Answer 1

"don't tell tales"
Oh well you've just eliminated any answer they might give. Seeing as it's all mythology and fairy-tales anyway...

Answer 2

What do you mean by supposedly homosexual? That's exactly what they were.

"Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them' " Genesis 19:4-5

But just a bit earlier it says,

"Then the Lord said, 'The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.' " Genesis 18:20-21

So it was probably many sins upon many sins that the city was destroyed for, not just for practicing homosexuality. It seems that it was just the icing on the cake so to speak.

Answer 3

the reason God destroyed both Sodom and Gomorrah were because those cities were filled with sins against Him. If you read the bible you can find numerous instances where God had people wiped from the earth for their sins. Yes, homosexuality included. In my opinion he is a jealous God, in fact one of the Ten Commandments is "Thou shall have no other God before me." The human race has always had a tendency to put men above God, so it is no wonder why he destroyed a whole city.

P.S. he also destroyed the first born of Egypt as well.

Answer 4

Well my goD is a pyromaniac and sometimes can find matches that i try to hide away.. Damn omnipotent one always locates the hiding spots...

But all of this reminds me of the book of Dead Milkmen and their parable, entitiled:

If You Love Somebody, Set Them on Fire



You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

I went to your house last night
Your dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
so I burned down your front porch
Now I feel a little bad
About pouring gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it

CHORUS

I just bought a brand new lighter
And I cannot wait to use it
Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone

CHORUS

Answer 5

My God Yahweh destroyed these cities because the few heterosexual people left in the city prayed for God's help in stopping the violence against them by the homosexuals that took over the city by force. They threatened to rape the male angels that visited Lot. God sent the angels to kill everyone but Lot, his wife and his daughters. God made an example of these cities on what happens when a city allows homosexuality to spread uncontrolled in a normal society. Lot's wife was killed when she looked back at how God was destroying these cities because God did not want any human eyewitnesses seeing the cities destroyed by atomic bombs.

Answer 6

Gen 18:20 And Jehovah said, The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceedingly heavy.

They were wicked cities, simple as that. Abraham interceded for them, asking the Lord to not destroy them if he could find any righteous people in there. He couldn't even find 10 righteous people.
Bottom line, God is totally sovereign, and may do what He wishes, when He wishes, with whom He wishes. He doesn't need to explain anything to us or ask our permission before He acts. He is totally holy, righteous and just, and only acts in accordance with His attributes.

Answer 7

They didnt seem to find even ten righteous people in the town. They were not very friendly to strangers. Just take all of the sadistic stuff that was done from day 1 till now and put it into one basket and you still wouldnt begin to understand what these people were up to. Even the animals were becoming homosexual .

Answer 8

God was willing to spare the city if there was but ONE SINGLE good person. There wasn't (according to the story), so he burned it down.

It doesn't say if there were women and children. All it says is that everyone in the town was evil. It didn't say because they were gay, but because they were evil.

Gay or not, those men outside of Lot's house were RAPISTS. That is bad whether or not you are gay. Rapists suck.

In the future, please disclose all facts (instead of using selective disclosure).

Answer 9

The Sodom tale isn't approximately homosexuality. each and every of the boys of Sodom wished to rape the angels. became each and every guy in Sodom gay?? did no longer Lot pass his family contributors there to locate husbands for his daughters? Why might he bypass to a city the place each and every of the boys have been gay? Why might Lot furnish his daughters to the team in the event that they have been gay? The Sodom tale is approximately rape and inhospitality. turn to Judges 19 and analyze Gibeah and analyze the two.

Answer 10

Take New Orleans,

The idiots were dancing around exposing themselves to each other on Ash Wednesday.

Answer 11

Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
He is a great and awsome God, and he knows the name behind your avatar.
