This article is basically presented as a Sunday school lesson or sermon, with some errors, and has virtually no references, as it almost all was copied verbatim from another site, which does allow it with attribution, but overall it hardly fits a encyclopedic format. However, the Bible does best evidence that "know" in v. 5 refers to sexual knowing, as its use v. 8 as well as in the parallel story (Jdg. 19:25: "they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning") and Jude 1:7 testifies to. The duplicity of pro homosexual polemicists who contend for the inhospitality interpretation is manifest in their striving elsewhere to impose a sexual meaning upon words which likewise depend upon context for such,  ("clave" in Ruth and Namomui, "lovingkindness" in Daniel and Asphenez, etc.) when it would favor their unrighteous cause. There is no doubt that if "know" here could be used in a sense favorable to homoeroticism, like friendly guests expressing a desire to know a male host that night, that they would favor it. As it is, while homosexual relations are forced here, it is the type of relations that make Sodom so notable, “The paradigmatic instance of such aberrant behavior is found in the demand of the men of Sodom to “know” the men visiting Lot, the nephew of Abraham, thus lending their name to the practice of “sodomy” (homosexuality) Jewish Ethics and Halakhah For Our Time  (2002)[[User:Daniel1212|Daniel1212]] 11:57, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

While homosexual relations in Gn. 19, are forced here, this is what homosexual apologists are often seen doing to the Bible.  Here, it is the type of relations that make Sodom so notable, “The paradigmatic instance of such aberrant behavior is found in the demand of the men of Sodom to “know” the men visiting Lot, the nephew of Abraham, thus lending their name to the practice of “sodomy” (homosexuality) Jewish Ethics and Halakhah For Our Time  (2002)[[User:Daniel1212|Daniel1212]] 11:57, 29 May 2009 (EDT)
