[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah, you should all read the text. The LORD had already decided to wipe them off the face of the earth for the sin that already existed in them. They were not punished specifically for the episode with Lot and the guests and any inhospitality. [b]It was the sexual sins rampant in Sodom and Gomorrah [/b]already that brought God's condemnation down, and it was this sin that led to every thing else recounted in this event. Makes it much harder to argue that the sin was inhospitality.[/quote]

I am looking at 18:20, and it says "chatatam" from the root Het, sin.  Nothing specifically sexual.  Where are you reading something about sexual sin in that verse? [/quote]
Jude 7: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire."[/quote]
AGAIN, you are quoting a translated version, not the original Greek text, which can be slightly different. I am learning more and more of the slight differences and nuances from the original text to English from my pastor's sermons, and I am a 40+ year, every Sunday, Sunday school teacher, sing in the choir, church goer.  There is a lot of "lost in translation" in the current Bible.  People need to understand cultural context, as well.[/quote]
"Slightly different" is probably very unlikely to have "sexual perversion" substituted for what was originally "inhospitality" or "not giving to the poor."[/quote]
I do believe that there was a lot of morphing of many of the Bible versus in 2000 years, traversing different cultures and languages, not just time.[/quote]
