This is what Democrats are.

4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

5 and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.”

While I often respond to folks saying Sodom’s sin was inhospitality by saying wanting to bugger people at random certainly is inhospitable there is another point to be made.

We clearly see that the Lord wanting Abram / Abraham to know that His action is just in the coming times, He arguably says so when He speaks of revealing what is about to happen, and the behavior of the men of the city clearly shows that they had been turned over to reprobate minds, unable to even regulate themselves but desperate to engage in evil.

So because Lot was saved the story that will eventually come back to be heard would be one where nobody questioned the depravity of the men of Sodom, for their behavior wantonly displayed it and therefore the justness of their condemnation.

Of course “nobody” above excludes others turned over to reprobate minds.

The sign given in Romans 1:18-32 is arguably given so those who can still understand will flee from such a fellowship, instead clinging to the Lord when they see the sign (homosexuality etc being rabidly advanced)... but friendship with the world demands the opposite, that people cling to men and cast away the Lord.

Lot’s sons in law, I would point out, clung to the city of Sodom. That was their friendship with the world.

Similar things might be said of those who clung to those men of Benjamin who murdered those girls.
