What did the earlier interpreters of the bible say the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was? I heard a homo site say it was destroyed because of inhospitality. Now that is funny. Last edited by alias; 09-21-2006 at 03:30 PM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Lot's wife was supposedly turned into a "pillar of salt" because she looked at something she wasn't supposed to. It's not much of a stretch from killing somebody because they looked at something to wiping out a village because of inhospitality. The Bible frequently harps on hospitality. One of Jesus's statements about Judgment Day includes asking people when they were hospitable to people who were less fortunate than them.

Why was Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt? Disobedience. They were all told to not look back by God and she did. Everything in this story is an example of ungodliness behavior and disobedience and the consequences. You should thank God you were not around in those days or you have been burned to a cinder. You should be thanking God as long as you are alive you still have time to change your ways and repent. Just a suggestion. You have the story of the justice of God for an example. They did not have the luxury. Last edited by alias; 09-21-2006 at 08:12 PM. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

In fact, in my very first post in this thread, I explicitly acknowledged that. Quote:
The real question is why do you KEEP IGNORING the reasons why your assumption is invalid while pretending that I'm the one ignoring things? 1) Show me ANYWHERE ELSE in the Bible where "to know" is used for homosexual sex. Can't do it, can you. 2) Why is it that MULTIPLE Bible passages talk about Sodom and Gomorrah and their sin, but make no mention of perversion or sexual immorality? If the sin was "homosexuality" as you claim, then why do other bible passages do not specify? 3) The context of the time DID NOT CONSIDER HOMOSEXUAL SEX AS SEX. And yet you insist that "to know" meant gay sex. 4) WHY did the earlier interpreters of the Bible have a DIFFERENT view than you now have? WHY did they see the "sin" of Sodom and Gomorrah as something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT for CENTURIES??? Quote:
God supposedly sent the angels there TO SAVE Lot. Of course LOT wasn't the one being inhospitable.... Lot was the good guy according to the bible. I never claimed Lot was the one being inhospitable. Nobody claimed that... Quote:

It's unfathomable to believe that God destroyed a village because of "inhospitability", but killing a woman just for one act of disobedience, where all she did was look, is perfectly acceptable... Do you even realize when you're getting your ass whupped? Quote:
The good ol' Christian reply to everything. Big ol', bad ol' God boogeyman will get you, or he might have gotten you, or you should be afraid he's going to get you... Your religion is so ruled by fear it isn't even funny. Your very life is ruled by fear, as you repeatedly demonstrate. You lash out blindly out of fear... Yet you think it is me who should be scared. Just like you... I realize you can't see the irony in that, but it's there.

If Lot's wife wasn't turned into a pillar of salt for disobedience by looking back after being told not to, then why? God can do whatever he wants to and you aint gonna do a damn thing about it. I can see a lesson here. Can you? As far as getting my ass whooped, I am confident there are people reading this and wondering why you keep arguing when the evidence is as plain as the wart on your nose.

Of course not. You don't need any reason at all... You just make up whatever crap is convenient for you. No wonder you cling to the whole "homosexual sodom & gomorrah" crap without any capability to answer my arguments. Quote:
Like I stated, historically they NEVER REFERRED to gay sex as "sex". Your assumption that "to know" means "sex" is ignoring the historical context of how they looked at "gay sex". Quote:
You're grossly exaggerating. And more to a point, why didn't they interpret it as "gay sex" for centuries after the bible was written??? Quote:
You have no clue as to why we were discussing that, do you. Not a clue. YOU claimed that killing an entire village because of "inhospitality" didn't make sense. I pointed out that he killed Lot's wife just for looking back. A sign of disobedience. Then you lost track of the conversation, and now you actually think I'm arguing that it wasn't because of disobedience? You repeat yourself over and over again because you can't think of anything else to say... Quote:
Not myths. Not fairy tales. So what is God "doing whatever he wants" these days? Quote:
Continue telling yourself that nobody is noticing the arguments you can't address. 1) Show me ANYWHERE ELSE in the Bible where "to know" is used for homosexual sex.

I'm not making "the rules here". I'm showing A BETTER WAY of looking at things and figuring them out. You're back-peddling. Quote:
The biblical view was that gay sex WAS NOT sex. Therefore, your assumption that "to know" is versatile as to meaning either heterosexual or homosexual knowledge has no basis. And your claim that this example is proof unto itself is inane. It's like claiming "to know" means to tickle the bottoms of their feet, and then insisting that this passage is proof of that. Quote:
And I already gave you a couple of other examples that would have fit. Let's say their "sin" was inhospitality and pre-marital sex. It fits all the "clues". You never even tried to refute that possibility. The point is that you are guessing ONE possibility when there is a LONG LIST of possibilities. Quote:
They call it "wickedness" or "ungodliness" or "perversion", which are so vague it isn't even funny. But you can't see that. You insist it has to mean "homosexuality". Quote:
All you're doing is repeating yourself ad nausieum, while you ignore my responses to your arguments. 1) Show me ANYWHERE ELSE in the Bible where "to know" is used for homosexual sex.
