Bible Question: Why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorah? |
Bible Answer: In short, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for the wicked practice of sodomy. (Gen 19:4,5) Jude 7 has some insight into God's feelings about the depraved sexual practices: "just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire."
