I rarely watch TV but happened on a program explaining the townspeoples’ sin as not extending hospitality to Lot’s visitors. I had heard of this excuse before, anything to not besmirch homosexuality.
Yes, they trim the verse to cut out the actual meaning - the townspeople would not repent at the behest of Lot (out of Lot’s respect for the 2 angels of God)
Now Lot told some relatives who thought he was mocking / joking. He most assuredly wasn’t.
As far as I can tell, the 2 angels told Lot they were going to destroy the city - Lot obviously told his relatives - I don’t know if they told the men in the streets or not.
Luke 17 indicates most of the world will be unaware when that event happens. i’m trying to warn a few; praying that others will share.
Elsie has the verse without the trimming done by those with the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.
They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
