Take note, God didn't destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. The people wanted to rape the "visitors" as a means to humiliate them. I wouldn't even say "God' destroyed, but rather the "visitors" destroyed.

Don't you question why lot was willing to give up his only daughters to be raped to death? As a matter of fact, it was not righteousness that saved lot, it was simply his connection to Abraham. That was all. I've seen Christian authors try to concert shenanigans (subconscious infiltration of thoughts kobo!!!) to claim that lot was righteous. Will a righteous man throw out his daughters like that? Think godamnit! Think!

Yes God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. The visitors as you have said were actually angels who were sent by God to destroy the city. Their attempt to sleep with the visitors was rather an accelerating factor that prompt their destruction.
So it's right and safe to profess that the city was destroyed because of homosexuality because the angels didn't went there to lodge but rather to destroy the city.

I hardly read comments from uncouth people and neither do I respond to uncouth comments, I just report them to mods.

The first English translation was done by William Tyndale. Prior to that, most of us have no clue of what could be today's equivalent of 'reforms. Some of the errors of Tyndale still remain till date including the error in inserting the name James itself in the English Bible translation among many other errors that existed even before Politicians like King James stepped in. I know these things and my point has always been , are the ones where there are no errors sufficient for salvation? I believe so.

It has been revealed that this Pope will come even before now. The Catholic church is d last bastion and he is the one that will be used to break it down. This is d beginning. Many will revolt against the authority of Rome.

I love the Catholic church but if would be more vocal in condemning priests who sexually molest young children, I might consider coming back.

The progressive stance (while awesome) makes no meaning to me if they still shield sexual abuse by some of their “anointed” men of God. They should be publicly excommunicated

There were many homosexual people among many tribes scattered across the globe, why only Sodom and Gomorrah? It was Abrahams plea that saved Lot, not Lot's righteousness.

23Then Abraham came near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.” 27Abraham answered, “Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. 28Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” 29Again he spoke to him, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” 30Then he said, “Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” 31He said, “Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” 32Then he said, “Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.” 33And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

Take a close look at verse 26..

26And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake.”

Pray for the catholic Church in same manner as you pray for Ukraine, Russia, Isreal and Palestine.

The Church is at war with itself and truth. Even here in Nigeria, the Catholics are at war with themselves and the truth. Some are in favour of the reforms and saying " Yes Daddy " upandan while some are opposed to it but can't speak up against it because they are scared of losing. Father Mbaka and other Nigerian Catholics would have reacted to this if it's local Nigerian politics, endorsing candidates. For the supporters of Father Mbaka, this doesn't involve attacking the Bishop of Enugu Diocese. Father Kuka would have written a long piece to lambast our leaders as not being truthful.

So what's the truth? With account of how they have used their influence to interpret and dispense their faith, could the Catholic Church be today facing its past? At some point in the world, they were the only one with the original scrolls and its content.

To what extent can they 'reform' and to what extent in the past have they reformed the original scrolls content of today's authority from which the Christian faith draws its doctrines?This Catholic sef. Let us just pray for them.Check my signature for free stuffs!

Stop twisting the Bible to suit your bias. Read Genesis 18:20-22
Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”

22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord.[d] 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

The three men were God's messengers to find out if what was reported to God about Sodom and Gomorrah was true.

As to your second claim that Lot was not righteous, same Genesis established Lot's righteousness. Lot offered the men his daughters because he was sworn to protect his visitors as custom demands and he knew no other way to stop the randy men from violating his visitors. To his mind, it was better to bear the pain of rape of his daughters than look on while his visitors were violated under his roof.
Secondly, it is possible Lot's daughters had already become part of the immorality in Sodom which their father was unaware of. This can be seen in their behaviour with him when they were left alone with him.

I wonder who was doing the "reporting," after all, God introduced himself to only Abraham, and not Lot. but...Okay!

Lot offered the men his daughters because he was sworn to protect his visitors as custom demands and he knew no other way to stop the randy men from violating his visitors. To his mind, it was better to bear the pain of rape of his daughters than look on while his visitors were violated under his roof.
It was not any custom to take care of the guest. If so, the people wouldn't have come knocking on their door. Lot probably saw men who looked like they had power(Lot was no ordinary civilian himself: real recognize real) and wanted to entertain them. The angels refused--remember, they don't even know Lot. If Abraham hadn't pleaded, Lot would have been destroyed along side them. Abraham knew Lot was there and begged on his behalf and his behalf only.

Secondly, it is possible Lot's daughters had already become part of the immorality in Sodom which their father was aware of. This can be seen in their behaviour with him when they were left alone with him.


Of course, typically misogynist. Blame the victims...

Here you go: Gen 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man: let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

There were innocent girls. Bear in mind that Lot has no agreement with YHWH whatsoever. So, righteousness is out of the question. Lot was a high ranking official in Sodom. That's why the Angels met him at the "gate."

Mind you, there's speculation that Lot had other daughters who didn't follow him.

This is the hypocrisy on the side of those opposing the Pope!

If you are a Catholic and commits fornication, adultery or steals, all you need do is come to confession on Saturday, confess and Father would prescribe 10x Hail Mary, 3x Our Father, and 2x Glory be to God….depending on the magnitude of your sins and voila! You are good to take Holy Communion on Sunday!


Monday morning you go back into since and continue the ritual next Saturday, year in and year out. You don’t get excommunicated, in fact the Catholic doctrine mandates you must constantly go to confession because it acknowledges that we are habitual sinners!

It is these same habitual sinners who themselves needs Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness that sits in Judgment against others, when Jesus himself have said

‘….allow the wheat and the weed to grow together until harvest day…”

Some habitual sinners will come to Jesus and say, Jesus we disagree, you don’t know how terrible the other sinner is, they are immorally corrupt and deprived, I am a better, good and upstanding sinner than they are, so they must be uprooted and shamed and excommunicated. 👀

All other Pope that came after him are just pretenders to the throne, including the current occupier. The current occupier has watered down the very value and foundation of the church in this his so called reform just to be seen in the good books of the Liberal West.
