John and Doves,

Every time someone mentions the word  "Sodom" we associate that word with sexual abomination, as in Sodom and Gemorrah of Genesis 19.

And yet Our Lord in Ezekiel 16:49 lists sexual abomination LAST in the list of sins
concerning Sodom. The # 1 sin was PRIDE... as in Gay PRIDE.

Here is an article about "Israel with Pride"
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4812274,00.html

In Ezekiel 16:49 the six sins identified with Sodom are:
# 1 -- PRIDE

2.  "abundance of bread" (strength) ;        political power

3. idleness.........  ("is the devil's workshop")

4. no compassion on the needy     (me-me-me )

5 .haughty (arrogant)

6. committed abominations  

We ALL have sinned and fallen short of God's law. If we repent, God is faithful to forgive us from our sins. 1 John 1: 8,9

" Come, let us reason together, though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow" Isaiah 1:18

In Him,
