We may do well to remind ourselves that Sodom was not chiefly and only destroyed because of Sodomy, in fact God gives even more sobering reasons as to why He destroyed Sodom.
Ezekiel 16:49 —50: Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
God destroyed Sodom because . . . they were proud.
God destroyed Sodom because . . . they led a self-indulgent life.
God destroyed Sodom because . . . they were very idle.
God destroyed Sodom because . . . they ignored the poor and needy.
Selah, and let us take the plank out of our own eye . . .
