Take heeds to what the Bible warns about the homosexual person in the City ofSodom and Gomorrah.

If you want to reflect to this scenario please read carefully the story below.

God loves us so much. And he has filled the world with wonderful things so we canknow how good he is.

But wait a minute. Sometimes things aren t so wonderful. People are mean to each� other, and they hurt each other. Bad things happen.

But that s not how God wants things to be.�

That s what sin does.�

Sin is when we do what we want, instead of what God wants. And when we do, badthings happen. Sin ruins things. Someone always gets hurt. Maybe not right away,but someone always gets hurt sometime. And it only gets worse and worse.

But it s not God s fault, it s ours.� � �

But bad things happen, and people think it s God s fault. They think God can t be� � � good if bad things happen. And then they can t believe God loves us.�

That s the terrible thing about sin. It keeps people away from God.�

That s why God hates sin so much.�

Now, back in the days of Abraham, there were two cities named Sodom and Gomorrah.The people who lived there had turned away from God. They didn t care about God.� They didn t care about doing what was good and right. In fact, they did just the� opposite. They thought it was great fun to do what is wrong.

Abraham had a nephew named Lot. Lot and his family lived in the city of Sodom.

They cared about God, and tried to do what pleased him.

Now, the evil in Sodom and Gomorrah was so bad that it was like a terrible, rottensmell that reached all the way up to heaven. And so God decided to put an end toit.

Remember the three men who had visited Abraham and told him he was going to have ason? After they had gone on their way they came to a hill, and from that hill theycould see the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Remember, one of those men was Godhimself, and when he looked down on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah from thathill, he knew it was time to get rid of the evil there. But he also decided hewouldn t keep anything from Abraham. And so God went back and told Abraham what he� was about to do.

Abraham took a deep breath. He was about to argue with God!

What if there are some good people living there, Abraham said. If you destroy� � � the city, they will die too. That wouldn t be right.� �

So God said, If you can find fifty good people there, I won t destroy the city. I� � will save the whole city for the sake of the fifty good people.�

Abraham took another deep breath, You are God, and I am just a man, he said,� � And you don t have to listen to me at all. But, he said, what if there aren t� � � � �



quite fifty good people living there? What if there are five less than fifty goodpeople living there. Will you destroy the whole city just because of five people?�

If I find forty-five good people there, God said, I will not destroy the city.� � � �

Then Abraham said, What if there are only forty good people there?� �

God said, For the sake of forty, I will not do it.� �

Then Abraham said, Please don t be angry with me, Lord. But what if there are� � only thirty good people there?�

God said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.� �

Abraham took a deep breath again. What if there are only twenty good people� there?�

And God said, For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.� �

Then Abraham said, Let me speak just one more time. Please don t be angry with� � me. But what if there are only ten good people there?�

God answered, For the sake of even just ten good people, I will not destroy the� city.�

So God sent two angels to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, to see if there werejust ten good people there.

Abraham s nephew Lot met the two angels at the gate of the city. (The angels� looked like ordinary men).

Lot bowed to the ground. Please come to my house and have dinner with us and stay� the night.�

The angels said, No. We will spend the night in the city square.� �

Lot said, No, please, come and stay with us. Lot knew how evil the people in� � Sodom were, and that they would try to hurt the angels if the angels spent thenight in the square.

So the angels went to Lot s house and Lot made dinner for them.�

Later that evening, in the dark of the night, the people of Sodom began tosurround Lot s house.�

Lot! We want to meet your guests, they shouted from outside the door. Send them� � � out so we can say hello. But they were lying. They really wanted to have fun�

doing terrible things to Lot s guests.�

Lot stepped outside the door to plead with his neighbors. Please go away and� leave us alone, he said.�

But these evil people crowded all the more around Lot s house. They were laughing� and shouting horrible things. They pressed so hard against the house; they wereabout to break down the door.

The angels reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Thenthey struck the men who were at the door with blindness so that they couldn t find�



the door.

Then the angels said to Lot, You and your family must leave this place. God is� about to destroy it!�

So Lot went out to speak to the two young men who were going to marry his twodaughters. He said to them, We have to get out of this place, because the LORD is� about to destroy the city! But the young men thought he was joking.�

It was a long night.

Early the next morning, in the pale light before the sun had risen, the angelssaid to Lot, Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters and leave this place,� or you will die with everyone else!�

But Lot was so afraid he couldn t move. So the angels grabbed him by the hand, and� they grabbed the hands of his wife and of his two daughters, and they led them outof the city. As soon as they were safely out of the city, one of the angels said,Flee for your lives! Don t look back, and don t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee� � � to the mountains or you will be swept away!�

And then God rained fire onto the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Thick, black smoke filled the air like smoke from a fiery furnace.

But Lot s wife looked back - even though the angels warned her not to - and she� was turned into a pillar of salt.

And so God wiped out the sin of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Sin is aterrible, terrible thing.

But God saved Lot and his two daughters.

Hope this story will give us a lesson how God hated sin though He love sinners

that s whey he is calling for repentance, in the book of Luke 5:32 I have not� � come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.�

2 Peter 3:9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is� patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come torepentance.�

Luke 13Repent or Perish1Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whoseblood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2Jesus answered, Do you think that� these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they

suffered this way? 3I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will allperish. 4Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them do you� think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5I tell you,no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.�
