And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis 18:20
The people cried so loudly to God but their sin was very grievous. The grievous sin here is none other than homosexuality. God's verdict is clear on this issue.
God visited this city to see if he could find righteous people and there was a long conversation with Abraham. Abraham pleaded until the number of righteous men was reduced to just ten. Lot and his family were counted among them. How did Lot find himself here?
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2 Peter 2:7-8
You cannot pitch tent with what vexes your soul and expect not to be tortured. You have to move your tent elsewhere. Abraham was so worried about his nephew that he pleaded earnestly with God. That was the only family he had there.
Righteousness exalts a nation. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. His judgement is sure
