But would God smite the entire country because of the activities of a minority? This was the context in which it was said "God to Sodom and Gomorrah, I apologize".
That's the point. He didn't. Remember, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it." BTW what some people don't realize was that while Sodom and Gomorrah were the major cities involved there every city on that plain got axed except for Zoar.
This was the context in which it was said "God to Sodom and Gomorrah, I apologize".
As I can name more then ten righteous people living in my city God would have nothing to apologize for. To suggest that He would is not very respectful to the Almighty.
Things are bad. But thankfully we still have a long way to slide before we reach Sodom and Gomorrah levels.
