Conclusion

While Biblical prophecy is the main focus of this article, we cannot close without briefly addressing the most sensitive and politically controversial topic raised herein: homosexuality. For years, too many have taught that homosexual gang rape was the intended crime outside Lot’s house that fateful night in Sodom. Those teachings are wrong and the promoters of such falsehoods will have to answer to God Almighty for leading others into demonizing the lonely and lost sinners who Jesus came to rescue and save. God is not happy with these leaders and unless they repent, their day is coming. History illustrates a concerted effort on the part of many Saturday and Sunday preachers to demonize all homosexuals. Without genuine Christian love for all, they are as tinkling brass. Will they stand with boldness at the return of Jesus Christ? Soon we will know!

It is certain that God’s written word clearly portrays homosexuality as a wrong lifestyle choice. However, He still loves homosexuals as much as He loves everyone else. In addition, as we have proven, homosexuality was not an issue in Genesis 18 & 19. As more evidence of this, consider the fact that in Scripture virtually every place that homosexuality is clearly and directly mentioned, Sodom is never specifically connected in the same passage. Go read your Bible. Gays just appear to be an easy target, and the story of Lot has been twisted to push a modern political agenda. However, according to God’s written word, many lifestyle choices conflict with His standards. All humans are sinners, and God wants all sinners to turn from their worldly ways. Regardless of this and what many have taught, homosexuality has nothing to do with Lot and what happened in Sodom. That teaching is pure fantasy as anyone can plainly see for themselves!
