Sodom and Gomorrah were cities where homosexuality was extremely prevalent. GOD was very upset by this particular sin, and utterly annihilated the entire city, causing massive death and destruction. (No city recorded in Scripture has ever been entirely wiped out by GOD, except that of Sodom and Gomorrah!) Many people nowadays believe that the Old Testament Bible is invalid and outdated. But the New Testament states very clearly the same message: that homosexuality is great sin against GOD. This is offensive to many, but nonetheless, the powerful hand of Almighty GOD breaks the chains of homosexuality, freeing and delivering Saints from this sin very, very frequently! I personally know 2 men who've been freed from this particular sin. 1 man I know has been healed of HIV/AIDS through the power of GOD. He practiced homosexuality for years, and GOD liberated him! Hallelujah!! No one's born gay. That's a lie from the enemy. Be not deceived, homosexuality and lesbianism aren't accepted in the eyes of the LORD. The Bible calls it unseemly and unnatural. It takes something unnatural, something traumatic to bring about homosexuality in a person. That's how it's formed. Being neglected, sexually abused, verbally abused, physically abuses, mentally abused, et cetera—these things bring about trauma, which in some cases, leads to homosexuality and lesbianism. 

Summary: *SODOM WAS AN EXAMPLE*, not some fabled event which occurred long ago. Let's learn from the past, that it affects our present, and brightens our future.
