What Really Happened in Genesis 19?

Ever wonder what got Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed? On the Ask A Christian Podcast, I, Nate Cunningham, dig into the fiery mess of Genesis 19. Some folks swear it’s not about the controversial topic—just bad hospitality or a weird situation. Spoiler: the Bible’s not buying it, and neither am I. The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah? Less “welcome wagon fail,” more “sin buffet gone wild.” Ready for the unvarnished truth with a side of snark? Let’s dive in!

Genesis 19 kicks off with two angels strolling into Sodom, and the locals go full creeper—demanding to “know” them. That’s yada in Hebrew, folks—not a book club invite. Lot, bless his clueless soul, offers his daughters instead, because apparently that’s the Sodom welcome mat. The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah aren’t some polite faux pas; it’s immoral mayhem with a pride chaser. Meanwhile, skeptics squirm, yelling “it’s just xenophobia!”

Ezekiel 16:49-50 lists the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah: pride, gluttony, laziness, and “abominations”—Bible-speak for “y’all are gross.” Then Jude 1:7 lands the knockout with “unnatural desire”—Greek sarkos heteros. The controversial topic is on the rap sheet, no matter how much pastors yoga-pose around it. For more on biblical controversies, explore our Christian Controversies category. Check Jude 1—it’s not bending for your TikTok theology.

The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah still slap because we’re all one strut from our own ash pile. Does the text cave to culture, or hold the line? You tell me—drop your take below!

So, the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah? A rebel stew of lust, pride, and a big “nah” to God. For more biblical insights and resources, check out our Linktree for everything you need to dive deeper into faith!
