Genesis 18:20, Their sin [Sodom and Gomorrah’s] is very grievous.What was the sin of Sodom? Genesis 19:5 gives us the answer. The men of Sodom were so morally perverted that Paul says of such a human condition in Romans 1:24–29,
Wherefore Elohim also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of Elohim into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause Elohim gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature, and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain Elohim in their knowledge, Elohim gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness …
Ezekiel 16:49–50 speaks of the symptoms of a society that has given itself over to a spirit of sodomy (homosexuality) because it has become abundantly wealthy, proud and obsessed with idleness (entertainment and pleasure). As a result it has become inwardly focused and self-absorbed, which leads to an obsession with self-gratification, self-worship and homosexuality instead of helping the poor and needy.
In this light, it shouldn’t be hard to see the parallels between Sodom’s society before it was judged and the moral and spiritual decline we see occurring in America and the rest of the western world. America, for example, has become obsessed with the concept of pride—especially since September 11, 2001. Notice, for example, the many car bumper stickers that expressed the idea of national “pride” since 9/11? Not only that, our culture has also become obsessed with promoting “gay” (homosexual or sodomite) rights and agendas calling it “gay pride.” It’s Sodom and Gomorrah all over again!
I recall when gay meant happy 🙁 I also recall the poem that ended with “A child that’s born on the Sabbath day is fair, and good and wise and gay.” Why they’ve even perverted His rainbow and taken it for their sign-maybe we need another flood? Oh, it’s the fire next time! Oh and “ish” meaning man=SELF-ISH. that being said, In the book, The Criminalization of Christianity” by Janet L. Folger (page 65) is info about former homosexuals who have been healed by the Love of YHVH.
Satan creates nothing of his own; he doesn’t have the ability. He can only distort and mutate that which is of YHVH.
