                                                                                The problem is you aren’t going by what the Bible says. You - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:20:16
                                                                                     YOU are the one not going by what the Bible says - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:22:53
                                                                                          Dude. Genesis 18, God has already cast judgment on Sodom. - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:29:49

                                                                                               What was the "grievous sin" in Genesis 18? - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:55:17
                                                                                                    You are a functional illiterate. Genesis 18 doesn’t say. So - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:59:05
                                                                                                         what was the "grievous sin" in Genesis 18?(nm) - Spanky KU - 1/10 12:22:53
                                                                                                              The text doesn’t say. It also doesn’t say there was just - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 12:39:49
                                                                                                                   Genesis 19 says homosexuality and yes... it says "sin" - Spanky KU - 1/10 12:44:20
                                                                                                                        So was a “sin offering” on the Day of Atonement just - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 12:57:59
                                                                                                                             context.. Genesis said "grievous sin" .... not "sins" - Spanky KU - 1/10 13:28:08
                                                                                               they also said they were sent to destroy it - well before - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:34:25

                                                                                No. You are dense. I am saying the destruction of Sodom was - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:17:40
                                                                                     And yet Genesis 19 uses homsexuality as the reason - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:20:03
                                                                                          it does not. It was full of sin and wickedness. - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:33:21
                                                                                          No. It doesn’t. You are ripping it out of context. (nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:21:02
                                                                                               Nope.. that's your heathen schtick - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:23:54
                                                                                no. - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:16:02
                                                            Of course. The Biblical texts don’t portray God as - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:55:06
                                                                 But God destroyed the inhabitants of Sodom - Spanky KU - 1/10 10:59:42
                                                                      No. He passed judgment on them already. Read Genesis 18 - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:00:58
                                                                           False! Genesis 18: 20-21 - Spanky KU - 1/10 12:47:51
                                                                                Man you really struggle with reading comprehension. Do you - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 13:34:48
                                                                                     What words in Genesis 18: 20-21 confused you? - Spanky KU - 1/10 13:59:33
                                                                                          Follow the story, not your flawed interpretation. - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 14:40:11
                                                                                               God says he is going to Sodom to see REASON for the outcry. - Spanky KU - 1/10 15:02:07
                                                                                                    I can’t help you. You are horrible at reading comprehension. - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 15:54:48
                                                                                                         Which words confuse you: " I will go down and see if what - Spanky KU - 1/10 16:02:44
                                                  Lot’s daughters were engaged. They belonged to other men. - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:40:17
                                                       and yet Sodom would not have been destroyed had the - Spanky KU - 1/10 10:48:04
                                                            The text never says that. These events are after Abraham - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:57:07
                                                                 The text never says that Lot was punished for impregnating - Spanky KU - 1/10 10:58:52
                                                                      was Laban punished for lying to Jacob? - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:12:02
                                                                      So? Lot disappears from the story. It says nothing period - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:02:14
                                                                           The story of Sodom is about homosexuality.. not rape - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:21:40
                                                                                so it was ok if they raped his daughters?(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:34:49
                                                                                     it appears that would have spared Sodom from destruction - Spanky KU - 1/10 13:56:39
                                                                                          Sodom wasn’t the only city destroyed. The entire point was - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 15:59:56
                                                                                               then why was homosexuality highlighted in Genesis 19?(nm) - Spanky KU - 1/10 16:24:41
                                                            that's not true. - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 10:56:34
                                                                 Which is why the text doesn’t support those who claim Sodom - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:00:11
                                                                      it says they were evil and wicked. The only sins mentioned - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 11:07:56
                                                                           Right. But some want to fill in the blanks with a big gay - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 11:26:33
                         Yes. Rape is bad. Thanks for confirming(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 10:12:59
                              Raping a woman that belongs to another man. If she’s - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:19:07
                                   do you think that's a good rule for Christians today?(nm) - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 10:19:43
                                        Of course not. But Biblical marriages aren’t good for anyone - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:23:24
                                             what do you mean by "biblical marriage"? - CulturedDan MU - 1/10 10:26:06
                                                  Yes. Jewish marriage. But Jewish marriage wasn’t unique to - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:31:21

                    Yep. Using Matthew was particularly stupid.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 1/10 10:07:17
                         While Matthew 19 was on the topic of divorce, it was clear - Spanky KU - 1/10 11:25:30
