Sodom and Gomorrah...?

Question

I believe that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, but do you think he used Comets , Asteriods, or an Earthquake? Etc. (There wasn't and Volcanos around in that area, which is thought to be located in Jordan.) How do you think it happen? The way it 's described, it sounds alot like a Nuclear exsplosion.What do you think?

Answer 1

God sent the fire, I don't know how but remember God warned Lot that it would happen. Lot asked God to spare the two cities if he could find enough righteous men and there were none because they wanted to have sex with the Angels. So no it was not a surprise! Like would be with a comet, earthquake, or Asteroid.

Answer 2

God is everything. In the Bible, it states very clearly that "God left that place".

What happens when the force that holds all matter together leaves?

You hear well. That's exactly what it sounds like.
A nuclear blast also reduces a body to matter very similar in appearance to salt in many cases.

The area that is associated with Sodom and Gomorrah also has a rather high (much higher than the surrounding regions) degree of long-term radiation.

Not proof, but good enough for some.

Answer 3

Atomic bombs. Why? Because of how Lot describes what he sees when he says, "When the sun came up and sulfur rained down". Which sounds like he is getting the rising glowing ball from the bomb mixed up with the sun and the fallout falling back to Earth as the sulfur raining down. Also Abraham mentions the massive amount of smoke he sees at a distance coming from the destroyed cities and that even the vegetation was on fire. If God knew enough about microbiology to write the advanced disease prevention plan based on His knowledge of the germ theory 3500 years before mankind did in the hygiene instructions found in Leviticus, then He would also have had the knowledge to build atomic bombs.

Answer 4

Ja Man is on the right trail ... over the last few years, there has been quite a bit of study in this region after discovering sulfur balls and evidence of destruction by fire.

Basically, the speculation is that God used an earthquake as the catalyst for the destruction. I saw a documentary on it within the last year. The basics are in the reference I cite below:

Answer 5

He rained down fire(lightning) and brimstone(sulfer) which caused the cities to become a super hot inferno...kind of like hell on earth. Sulfer is a component of matches and gunpowder. Since God created all things including sulfer it is no problem for him to rain it down on earth. God can make it rain anything he wants. In other words we do not need a naturalistic explainatiuon for how God destroyed Sodom or for any thing else for that matter.

Answer 6

God was the one who did it and it very well could have been a nuclear explosion! God created the sun which has internal explosions constantly. He easily could have used one on Sodom and Gomorrah.
That's what I think He did.

Answer 7

well I think a meteor would do it, if there wasn't a volcano handy.

Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Answer 8

This is What I Think:

GOD has Chariots of "Fire".

The Fire isn't what comes out the Back to Push it Forward Either!!!

Dit=============to!

(remember when that Prophet "Called Fire Down from Heaven? The "Heaven" was the Earth's Atmosphere! There UP there, Believe me!)

Answer 9

I think the origin of the story was a volcanic eruption, and I think it was located in what is now Iraq.

Answer 10

Romulans.
