[Joel Mason]

To say that the homosexual advances of the men of Sodom was the precipitating cause of that city’s destruction is to miss the point of the story. The over-riding ethic of Hebrew and Christian Scriptures is hospitality. The fact that the people of Sodom wanted to have sexual relations with sojourners was horrific and an unbelievable affront to the ethic of hospitality. Don’t forget that Lot felt so strongly about this that he offered his own daughters instead. As for Paul and homosexuality the Greek in Romans refers to temple prostitution that took place at the pagan centers of worship. Paul was urging his novice Christian followers to avoid such places.
