[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]C'mon. Genesis 19, 1-30. Send out your men so that we may "now" them??  Pretty clear cut since Lot offered his daughters and they mob weren't interested in them.[/quote]

1. That does not necessarily mean an orientation, just a preference of the moment.

2.  The most notable thing is that they were Lot's guests.  This may have been the motive for the preference. It's also possibly (probably) why its such a heinous act - a violation of middle eastern codes of hospitality.

Right. And God decided to destroy the city for a violation of "hospitality"?

Ha ha.  We all know what they wanted.  They wanted to "know" them.  Now tell me that means something other than what it obviously means in the Bible.[/quote]
[b]They were trying to rape the guests.  That is the definition of "sexual abuser".  [/b]

OP - that is a very interesting take on it.  I am a life long Christian, but I am still learning new things about the Bible. The pastor at my church delves deeply into the text and gives us the context and original meaning, and it's given new meaning to some of the versus that I have read since I was a teenger.  I don't know if what you wrote is true, but it's interesting and food for thought and more analysis.

I do think, however, that any main stream pastor won't touch this with a 10' pole.[/quote]

Yes, they were men wanting to have sex with the male guests.  Lot offered his daughters but they didn't want them. Clear as day what the offense in God's eyes was.[/quote]

No. they were trying to RAPE male guests. [/quote]
