Sodom and Gomorrah or Not
Such are all those who complain when they hear a certain thing was licit for the righteous in another age, whereas it is not permitted to them in our time, because God commanded one thing for some men and something else for others, for certain temporary reasons, although those of both ages were subject to the same justice.[1]
Therefore, vicious deeds that are contrary to nature, are everywhere and always detested and punished, such as wee those men of Sodom
Before they went to bed, all the townsmen of Sodom, both young and old--all the people to the last man--closed in on the house. They called to Lot and said to him "Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intimacies with them." Lot went out to meet them at the entrance. When he had shut the door behind him, he said "I beg you, my brothers, not to do this wicked thing. I have two daughters who have never had intercourse with men. Let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you please.[2]
A little hard to figure who is the righteous here and how it applies to our age.
