Slippery slope to Sodom

Wed., Jan. 11, 2012

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. The writer of “Recognize gay marriage,” (Dec. 29) said gay marriage should prevail over “decaying dogmas.” Those in Sodom and Gomorrah believed the same thing. But it was God’s wrath that prevailed.

God calls homosexuality an abomination (Leviticus 20:13), and America is sliding down the same slope to Sodom; and if it doesn’t reverse its direction, God will come down on it with the same wrath. If He doesn’t, then God will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
