"And they were haughty and
committed detestable things before me.."
While not singling out homosexuality in the verse you quoted, we are able to see from the two verses from Genesis 19(the chapter in which you will find the details of the destruction of Sodom and it's neighoring cities)I have quoted below, that homosexuality had permiated the entire city.
"4.Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." -
GENESIS 19:4-5(NIV)
"4But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may
know* them"-
GENESIS 19:4-5 (KJV)
(-*emphasis mine. I included the following verses in the same chapter to give context to the word "know" in this instance)
"6And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not
known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof"-
GENESIS 19:6-8
Brother Larry is correct(as usual)
, that homosexuality was not the only problem with Sodom, as is evidenced by the dialogue between Abraham and the Lord in Genesis 18:16-33. Sin in general had so infected the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that God saw their complete destruction as the only remedy.
