The Bible mentions Sodom in variety of biblical books.
The Bible mentions Sodom in variety of biblical books. The destruction of Sodom was an eternal statement on God's views of [[homosexuality]] and homosexuality was the chief reason for its judgement (claims that the primary reason for Sodom's judgement was inhospitality are not supported by sound [[Bible exegesis]].<ref>http://www.str.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=5702</ref><ref>http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/480</ref> For example, Two Angels of God visited the city and the men of the city attempted to rape both of them in front of Lot's home. The Angels struck the sodomites blind and provided safe passage for Lot, a servant of the Living God, from Sodom according the the Biblical account. During the journey from Sodom, Lot's wife, who turned to look back at Sodom, was turned into a pillar of salt for her disobedience.

===Sodom in Genesis===
:''And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.'' (Gen 19:14-16)
