| − | Many Christians believe God's treatment of Sodom and Gomorrah was an eternal statement on his views of [[homosexuality]]. Notably, Two Angels of God visited the city and the Homosexual inhabitants 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 killed by God for her disobedience and her yearning for her homosexual friends. Many Christians and Biblical Scholars believe the transformation of Lot's wife into a pillar of salt was a statement by God concerning his views and eventual punishment of any non-Homosexuals who endorse, sponsor, or support the Homosexual Lifestyle or agenda. | + | Many Christians believe God's treatment of Sodom and Gomorrah was an eternal statement on his views of [[homosexuality]].
