Similarities between America and the ancient city of Sodom







There are many similarities and parallels between America and

the ancient city of Sodom.



"But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord,

exceedingly so." Genesis 13:13



What was the sin of Sodom that was so great and outrageous in

the eyes of God, the sin that so angered him, so outraged him,

that he annihilated the city with fire and brimstone?

Homosexuality. See the account of the destruction of Sodom and

Gomorrah in Genesis 18:20 - 19:27. Sodom is mentioned many

times in both Old and New Testaments. Its name is synonymous

with great and outrageous wickedness, the very height of

wickedness.



How is America like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? What are

the similarities and parallels?



1. The homosexuals are everywhere in American society. They

permeate the society. The list of well known people who

have finally become revealed to be homosexual is just

endless. And you learn about more every day. The higher

echelons of our society is just loaded with them. And,

most likely, the lower echelons, too. And not only is the

society permeated with them but they stand out boldly in

high profile. All the time one is hearing about the gay

movement, gay rights, the gay political movement, etc..

They are out in the open shamelessly, aggressively

asserting their rights. More than that, homosexuality

seems to be becoming acceptable and respectable in the

society. It is referred to as "just another lifestyle".

It even seems to be condoned and accepted in many

churches. One often hears of controversies and splits in

churches over the issue with many religious people,

including ministers, advocating that homosexuals should be

accepted and should even be allowed to preach.



2. Outrageous sexual immorality everywhere. Our society

prides itself on it's broad-mindedness and tolerance. We

are so broad-minded and tolerant that we condone and

accept everything from adultery and promiscuity to

homosexuality to pornography.



3. Sodom and Gomorrah were wealthy cities. They lay in an

abundant and wealthy plain. America is a wealthy country.

Wealth and luxury corrupts.





The story of Sodom and Gomorrah illustrates a very important

fact: The Holy Bible is not a broad-minded, tolerant book. It

is, in a sense, a very narrow-minded, intolerant book. God is

a God of righteousness who is patient but not infinitely

patient. This is illustrated by the story of Sodom and

Gomorrah, the story of Noah and the flood, and many other

stories. Christ showed anger and righteous indignation on

certain occasions. God's patience is limited. He has love and

mercy for the penitent sinner and the person who loves and

serves him but he can be very severe with the unrepentant and

those who do not love, honor and serve him.
