==Homosexuality and the Bible and the City of Sodom==
−
The Bible mentions [[Sodom]] in variety of biblical books. The prevalent view among evangelical Christians is that Sodom was destroyed as a result of prevalent homosexuality; however, this is open to debate, based upon traditional Jewish interpretation of the event, and the fact that many undesirable practices, many vastly more reprehensible, were likely engaged in in the general region.

Jesus referred to [[Sodom]] at Matthew 10:15 ("Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.")<ref>The quotation is from the ESV version.</ref>  The Bible also mentions Sodom in other biblical books.

Genesis warns in the strongest terms possible against the evil that occurs when homosexuality becomes prevalent in a society.
