...or about anything in the New Testament. Notice how lip-service "Christians" run to the OT when they want to harm or kill those they dislike, but then flip-flop with Peace, Love, Dove when it's someone they like. No wonder so many people are running from those type of people.

Sodom’s sin was not only selfishness, but also homosexuality. This is evident from several facts. First of all, the context of Genesis 19 reveals that their perversion was sexual (see comments on Gen. 19:8).
Second, the sin of selfishness related by Ezekiel (16:49) does not exclude the sin of homosexuality. As a matter of fact, sexual sins are a form of selfishness, since they are the satisfaction of fleshly passions.
Third, by calling their sin an “abomination,” the very next verse (v. 50, nkjv) indicates that it was sexual. This is the same word used to describe homosexual sins in Leviticus 18:22.
Fourth, the notorious nature of Sodom’s sexual perversity is revealed in the very word “sodomy” which has come to mean homosexual activity.
Fifth, the sin of Sodom is referred to elsewhere in Scripture as a sexual perversion. Jude even calls their sin “sexual immorality” (v. 7).
I choose to eat only when truly hungry which is usually once every other day. I've done that for a couple years now. The body signals when you need to eat, not just based on
cravings and urges because you see a great-looking meal on the internet or boredom or because you smell the bbq going on next door.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
There is such a focus on homosexuality. If I had no idea what Christianity was and have never seen the Bible, and only listened to American debate involving it, I would think the whole religion is about homosexuality and abortion.
People co-opt religion for their own agenda, pretty much throughout history. It's unfortunate, because it creates a lot of discrimination and hate, among other negative outcomes.
I wish we could put it all in context. Not to disparage the Bible, but it was written by men, at a time when we were at our most fearful & superstitious. God is a timeless being - billions of years, even longer. The idea that God cares about things like shellfish and homosexuality given that scale just doesn't resonate w/ me.

Who you fuck is a choice. Who you'd really like to fuck is not. It's sub-conscience desire.
Example: While you might choose to marry and fuck a man to give Daddy grand kids, you might really prefer to fuck a lesbian double amputee with a strap-on while wearing a clown suit. It's a desire that's inside you. You might be able to control doing it, but it's much more difficult to stop a desire because it's inside you.

In other words, the attempted rape is condoned if they're women.
If the sin of homosexuality is so bad as you say it is, then why is it omitted in that verse?Second, the sin of selfishness related by Ezekiel (16:49) does not exclude the sin of homosexuality. As a matter of fact, sexual sins are a form of selfishness, since they are the satisfaction of fleshly passions.
Are you aware that there are more than one abomination?Third, by calling their sin an “abomination,” the very next verse (v. 50, nkjv) indicates that it was sexual. This is the same word used to describe homosexual sins in Leviticus 18:22.
LOL. i forgot about that canard. The word "sodomy" was defined LATER to mean anal sex.Fourth, the notorious nature of Sodom’s sexual perversity is revealed in the very word “sodomy” which has come to mean homosexual activity.
Jude was talking about "strange flesh". I.e. angels.Fifth, the sin of Sodom is referred to elsewhere in Scripture as a sexual perversion. Jude even calls their sin “sexual immorality” (v. 7).
No. Even as you've just said. You choose women. Instinctively, we are born to choose the opposite sex. That's the way God made us by design.
We can easily admire/appreciate the physicality of the same sex. But, that's it. One chooses whether to take Satan's bait and cross that line
or not. And, I'm not simply singling out homosexuality. We all battle the sinful temptations in many other carnal activities. It's a daily fight with
the flesh. We overcome by the blodd of the Lamb. God said, "Choose this day who you will serve." We ALL serve SOMEbody, like it or not.
