Your elder sister is Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters. You not only followed their ways, and acted according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. As I live, says the Lord God , your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it. Samaria has not committed half your sins; you have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.

Tldr sexual behavior isn't the reason Sodom was destroyed.
Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me..." The Hebrew word translated "detestable" refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an "abomination."
Similarly, Jude 7 declares, "...Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion." So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin in which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities.
@Independenceforever, Your interpretation does not make sense in the context. Sodom is destroyed after Lot and his wife have to barricade themselves in a house because the locals want to fuck them. Lot offers them his daughters but they want the men. Whatever the woman mentioned in your quote was up to she did not trigger the destruction because that was going on a long time. The triggering event was what happened with Lot and consistently their sin has been interpreted as sodomy, namely sexual perversion.
The lack of any virtuous people living in the city is used to justify its destruction. If there had been innocents among the guilty, then the destruction of the city would have been more problematic. The sin of sodom is contextually very clear and refers to sexual perversion.
You fucking idiot. You clap like a seal when someone tells you they’re a sodomite. Wow much maga
fag
I found the glowie cuck who was filming Hunter while jerking off.

Correct. The original Hebrew words are fairly important in understanding the context.

Did you pay attention? It was one of the reasons, biggest being not even ten righteous people lived there.
