One

I take it you are aware that S&G is not the only place where God condemns homosexuality (or more strictly the homosexual act)?

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman: it is an abomination" (Lev 18:22).

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be put to death: their blood is upon them" (Lev 20:13).

"God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error" (Rom 1:26-27).

"Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers - none of these will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor 6:9-10).

The condemnation of the law applies for those "who kill their father or mother, for murderers, fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers" ( 1 Tim 1:9-10).

Two

Are you aware that there is a lot in the Bible that would indicate that Jesus IS God and IS the Holy Spirit? But not all Christians believe in the Trinity I grant you.

Three

Elsewhere on this board is my (now apparently dead) thread on petitionary prayer.
S&G is one of the classic cases/challenges of petitionary prayer.
Abraham seems to think he can (and does) barter with God on how many men must be found to be good in Sodom for it to be saved. It seems that Abraham has to remind God of his moral obligations! Surely this can't be happening!
