The ignorant notion that the Lord Jesus Christ was somehow silent or ambivalent about Sodomites is a fiction manufactured by liars with a bad conscience.
Christ’s animosity toward Sodomites was so ‘extreme’ that he professed an almost impatient desire to burn them all up.
The warning that Jesus Christ will return to burn up his enemies with unquenchable fire is repeatedly connected to the example of Sodom, the import of which is absolutely unmistakable: Sodomites will infect the world in the end of days, and Christ will return in his wrath for the very purpose of burning them in the torments of eternal fire.
Consider the following examples of ‘invidious discrimination’ and ‘hate speech’ of our Creator Jesus Christ toward sex-perverts:
#1 – Jesus said marriage is only between a man and woman:
“And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matthew 19:4-6)(see also, Mark 10:6-9)
#2 – Jesus affirmed observance of the Old Testament Law (viz., Lev. 20:13):
“¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:17-19)
#3 – Jesus explained that the purpose of his return in the future will be to burn up the world’s sodomites with flaming fire:
“¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! 51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:.” (Luke 12:49-51)
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” (Luke 17:28-30)
#4 – Jesus warned the friends of Sodomites of getting the same treatment:
“Remember Lot’s wife.” (Luke 17:32)
#5 – Jesus repeatedly said he would return to burn up the wicked:
“19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (Matthew 7:19)
“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:40-42)
“Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.” (Matthew 18:8-9)
# 6 -Jesus’ disciples Peter and Jude – who lived with Christ and knew all his teachings – explained that the Sodomites weren’t doomed for being ‘unfriendly’ – they were damned for being sex perverts:
“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.” (Jude 1:7-8)
“And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:” (2 Peter 2:6-9)
+
Those passages describe Sodomites as those who engage in ‘filthy’ ‘unlawful’ ‘fornication’ – and they make it crystal clear that the same such perverts will be burned to ashes in the most horrifying manner imaginable by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Still think Jesus was non-committal on the issue of destroying Sodomites? If so, please donate your frontal lobe to science so they can study the densest matter in the universe.
Better-informed Sodomites don’t display their stupidity as recklessly as to make the bizarre claim of taking a sworn enemy like the Lord Jesus Christ as their benefactor. That’s a phenomenon reserved for the worst of the worst – the most shameless and blind of the entire bunch.
Degenerates should claim for themselves a moral relativist like Buddha, or some a worldly philosopher that tried to deny the judgment to come. Call upon whatever gods you want – but don’t call upon Jesus Christ, unless you repent.
Hating evil is Jesus Christ’s eternal joy:
“Thou lovest righteousness,
and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” (Psalms 45:7)
“For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight:
thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” (Psalms 5:4-5)
“For
without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Revelation 22:15)
