The Story of Sodom by the History Channel

Posted on 03/26/2016 2:25:33 PM PDT by Vision

In a just world, we would be able to sue the History Channel for Biblical malpractice. I watched 10 minutes of the first episode of The Bible this afternoon and tuned out in disgust. According to them:

Sodom was a crazy place. Guys are drunk, spitting fireballs from alcohol, men and women sloppily making out in the street, violence going on.

Two very diverse angles in robes arrived, one black, one asian.

They were running from someone. They needed help, one angel was bleeding from his head. Lot, after significant consideration, agrees to help them, this was done as Abraham's verses about saving the righteous from destruction overlap the visual story. Lot takes them inside his cave/room with the rest of the family.

Then a group of angry men come for the two angels and demand them; for what, the viewer does not know.

Lot opens the door to address the angry crowd. Surprisingly, as Lot is talking to them the two angels slip off their robes and are dressed in gleaming romanesque armor with two swords/machetes sheathed on their back samurai/teenage mutant ninja turtle style.

Before Lot says much the warrior angels step out behind Lot and the crowd goes into painful blindness.

Then our two warrior angels unsheath swords in both hands and, the asian angel especially, starts bruce lee/samurai/dicing through all the incoming bad guys while jumping around like a maniac.

Lot's family leaves Sodom, destruction rains down, his wife looks back and is turned into salt.

Isn’t Gomorrah some place in Ireland?

No. I think it is a Japanese creature that fights Godzilla.

Nope. I think it may have been an old “Little Lulu” comic
book “The Goon of Glockamorra” which was about a big old
Goon, of Glockamorra. I used to like “Little Lulu” comic
books before she got confused and began thinking she was
a little boy. Then she became “Little LonnieLu”. It was
never the same after that. - The witch caught her on the
last & imprisoned her at her gingerbread house, enslaving
her & forcing her to bake gingerbread forever. :o(

You mean “Glock”. 9 Million Caliber Atomic.
“Glockamorra” is a Goon, from Glockamorra in Ireland.

Sodom was full of sin. We do not know precisely what the extent of the sin was.

What we do know however is the sin of man today is the same as it was then because man was born the same then as man is born today.


Yep, Sodom was full of sin, including pride. But we specifically know it was destroyed because of sexual immorality and homosexuality. Jude 1:7. It wasn’t
“inhospitality” as the homosexual crowd now tries to claim.

Yeah, when I first started watching this series a couple of years ago when it first came out, I turned it off after the kung fu angels segment and stopped watching; to me it was just too ludicrous, especially since the angels could have just struck them all blind. I am sure they carry swords (e.g Genesis 3:24; Chronicles 21:16; Numbers 22:23), but it’s more for supernatural enemies, they don’t need them for mere mortals.

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. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them.

I look at the distorted Bible movies and tv series like this...

No they are not accurate. But maybe, just maybe, someone will pick a Bible and read what it says.

At least there are Biblical movies being made. I never thought I would see that again.

It seems that, according to the History Channel, there was no sodomy in Sodom.

You're thinking of that parade in New York.

Now for the controversy over the type of salt Lot’s wife was turned into and the next history channel special: Rock salt, Dead Sea type salt, Sea Salt, or kosher salt?

Margarita salt.
