Genesis 19:5 \u2013 And they called to Lot, \u201cWhere are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.\u201d <\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is the most graphic account of God\u2019s response to sexual sin in general, and homosexual sin in particular, we need to consider the reasons why the sin judged in Sodom was homosexual sex.<\/p>\n In summary, the account of Sodom and Gomorrah from Genesis 18:16-19:29 shows God\u2019s righteous judgment of sexual sin in general, and homosexual sin in particular.<\/p>\n The nail in the coffin on this point are the words of the Lord Christ who says in Luke 17:26-32, \u201cJust as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot \u2013 they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all \u2013 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. Remember, Lot\u2019s wife.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus Christ says the story of Sodom is real, as is the story of Noah. God judged the world first by water, then fire. According to Jesus, the flames of Sodom are a warning that hell is coming and, rather than arguing with God, or editing His Word, we should be repenting of our sin and start having funerals instead of parades for our perversion.<\/p>\n According to Jude 7, what are we supposed to learn from God\u2019s dealing with Sodom and Gomorrah? <\/em><\/p>\n To help you study the book of Genesis with us, check out the second of three free e-book study guides here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n To get daily devos sent texted to you Monday-Friday, text DEVOTIONS to 99383.
