Sodom Condemned for Arrogance
It was brought to my attention by a dear brother of min that Sodom was not destroyed because of homosexuality, that was their symptom not the cause.
Ezekiel 16:49-50; “…this was the guilt of your sister Sodom; she and her daughters had arrogance; abundant food and careless ease but she did not help the poor and needy. Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw.”
Homosexuality is a symptom brought on by a society rich in abundance and too arrogant to care for her poor and needy. When this example is set, when the government and the churches no longer care for the poor and needy, then abominations are committed by the people of the country.
Many are so vocal against the obvious perversions, (homosexuality, drugs, abortions, etc.) the symptoms but fail to address the causes and be vocal to find real solutions. Pure religion, to visit orphans and widows in their distress James 1:27.
Maybe when we do what we should be doing, the wickedness will subside, if we scream at the symptom and fail to address the cause our efforts will be for naught. Arrogance is the enemy and it lives among us or maybe in us.
