How many people died in Sodom and Gomorrah?
The Bible does not say how many people lived in Sodom, but suggests it was a sizable city. We can only rely on the Bible story because there is no historical or archaeological evidence for the existence of Sodom.
Did the fire and brimstone that fell on Sodom and Gomorrah come from a volcano or the sky?
Well I think that it came from the sky, the bible really doesn't say but the fuel for the fire was already there and we also know that god has also sent fire from the sky in Egypt.
Why Did Lot's Wife Look Back?
I think she was looking back to see if what the angels said would happen really did. Her doubt destroyed her because to be saved she had to act with complete faith and earnestness. In other words, she had to run for her life!
How did Lot die in the Bible and how old was he when he died?
Well, in the Bible, Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot himself escaped to a cave with his two daughters, where his daughters thought the world had ended and got him drunk to have children. Lot was not mentioned to have died in the Bible, but he lived to be around 200-220 years old based on the timeline of events.
How is one's understanding of God's wrath related to one's understanding of God's Grace - Give scripture references?
The purpose of the wrath of God is to fear to Him. God is a loving and merciful God but there is a day of judgment and He can take away everything from you at any moment. Think of a child, if you're the parent and you love them don't you discipline them? The same, God is the Father. Every time you sin does God release his wrath? No. That is the grace of God. How many times do you make the same mistake over and over, or disobey God again and again yet He continues to forgive and give you chance after chance?God's grace is the absence of His wrath. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 18:20-33 & 19)Sodom and Gomorrah (a city) had become so full of sin that God told Abraham to take his family and leave there because He was going to destroy it. Abraham said to God if he could find 50 people that are righteous in the city would God spare it for their sake? God agreed. Then Abraham said what if it is less what if he finds 45 would He spare the city? God agreed. Abraham continued to do this until it got all the way down to only 10 people. If Abraham could find only 10 righteous people in the city would He spare the city and God again agreed.God is a gracious God. He would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah that was horrible, disgusting, full of sin and impurity in every way if only 5 righteous people lived there, for their sake. The city was so bad that not even 5 could be found (besides Abraham's family) and God destroyed it.Some references below to God's wrath:http://wiki.answers.com/passage/?search=2%20Chronicles+12:7&version=NIV1984When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, this word of the LORD came to Shemaiah: "Since they have humbled themselves, I will not destroy them but will soon give them deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.http://wiki.answers.com/passage/?search=Job+19:29&version=NIV1984you should fear the sword yourselves; for wrath will bring punishment by the sword, and then you will know that there is judgment. "Grace means nothing without its alternative. In order to appreciate the grace, or undeserved favour; you need to appreciate the power of God's anger as well.The wages of sin is death, and none of us knows when our time is. The fact that you do not drop dead this instant and are instead given a chance to return to the right path is one example of grace tempering wrath.
Where was Sodom?
Some archaeologists are still debating the location of both cities. Some believe they never existed at all. Yet, evidence from the Ebla Tablets indicates that both cities, together with other nearby towns mentioned in the Bible narrative actually existed. So, in the light of these references such ongoing skepticism appears unwarranted. Further to this a large burial area has been found near one of the possible sites, as has evidence of volcanic activity and balls of sulfur (the brimstone mentioned in the KJV). The relevant sites are near the Dead Sea, near where the Bible says these cities were located. Sodom and Gomorrah were settlements south of the Dead Sea, believed on the Jordan side. It is thought that residents there were mining salt from the nearby Mount Sodom, which was one of the most valuable commodities in those times - and from which we derive the words 'salary' 'soldier' and others. Apparently destroyed by earthquakes, endemic to the area. Given the hostile environment where few would want to live, as well as probable lack of pastimes or female partners, it had a reputation for homosexuality - hence the word 'sodomy'. Naturally after it was destroyed, religious attributions implied their sexual behaviour caused their destruction.
Why was Abraham Lincoln called father Abraham?
the north felt like he was a father to the country because he tried to keep the north and the south together. I don't think it was Abraham Lincoln. I think it was the" Abraham" in the bible.
Were jesus' ancestors gay?
No I do not think so. We can see by the Old Testament that God considered homosexuality a sin (Genesis 19:4-7) and probably would have destroyed anyone practicing that sin as He did Sodom, especially if they had been in Jesus ancestry. This is not saying that Jesus' ancestors were sinless because they were not, but they paid for their sin if they did not repent.
According to Judaeo-Christian teaching is Sodomy a sin?
Sodomy is by definition a sin as it is the sin for which the city of Sodom was destroyed by God in the Old Testament. However... (you knew that there would be a however didn't you) there are some problems defining exactly what sodomy is!To the writer of above- Sodom was not destroyed for the sin of sodomy. The bible clearly tells us why it was destroyed: Ezekiel 16:49-50: "Behold, 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.[8] Therefore I removed them when I saw it."By definition Sodom was destroyed for the sin of Sodomy these are the abominations that they committed, it may be as Ezekiel suggests that they were a lack of charity or perhaps as some scholars have suggested a failure of hospitality the Bible is unclear on the subject.Warning sexually explicit answerUnder US law sodomy encompasses both anal and oral sexual intercourse between both homosexual and heterosexual couples as well as bestiality. Under the Common Law it encompassed only anal sex (although it was not restricted to homosexuals). Canon Law (the law of the Church) has usually equated sodomy with homosexuality.There are some Biblical scholars who have suggested that the sin of Sodom was actually a breach of hospitality an offence with very serious implications in the Semitic culture to this day.On the broader issue as to the sinful nature of any of the above acts that is a matter of conscience. Provided they take place within a consenting, loving and stable relationship I suspect God doesn't mind.I think God is not nearly as interested in what we do in our bedrooms as he is in what is in our hearts.
