I have read Genesis 18 many times and it says nothing about God pre-sentencing Sodom & Gomorah to be destroyed. What does happen is that God has a debate with Lot. God wants to destoy it because of its wickedness (ie: sexual perversion). And what I mean by sexual perversion is simply this. Anything outside the original plan that God had for a sex. This would include, masterbation, sex before marriage (straight or gay), beastality (sex with animals), etc. So Lot bargains with God to find just 10 holy men in the city. God wanted him to find 50!! Lot asked God to take it easy, and God had mercy. But 10 men were not found. So because of there perversion. They were destroyed. You can also see that there was an issue with homosexuality because the men of the city would not even take Lots' virgin daughters. They wanted to have sex with the men, that were really angels.

That was also a nice try Jeremy. Better luck next time!

If you read Genesis 19:5 it clearly states:

5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

Looking further into this verse you see that the two men were actually angels, and the men of the city wanted to have sexual intercourse with them. Lot even offered them his two virgin daughters and they declined.

That is why Sodom & Gomorrah was destroyed. Nice try though Matt!

There was a reason God destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. It was because it was
overtaken by a spirit of homosexuality. It wasn't right then, and it isn't right
now!
