Maybe not, but ‘Dad’ sure made his opinoins known to the Sodomites.

What makes you think this was God the Father who appeared to Moses at Sinai?

Jesus said:

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18)
Paul writes in Colossians 1:15:
[Jesus]..Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every create:

"No man has seen", "invisible"... God (the Father) cannot be seen. So, who have we seen? Either the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ or Jesus Christ. Consequently, Jesus Christ, the Word of God, spake all these words to Moses.

And He didn't 'appear' to the Sodomites, either--He SMOTE them!

Now, I didn't say God The Father appeared to Moses at Sinai.

What is in my little KJV Exodus 24:15-18 is as follows:

15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud and gat him up into the mount; and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

But what it doesn't say is that Moses actually saw God.

However, that has little to do with the issue at hand.

Thumb through to Leviticus 18:22 Where the Lord was speaking to Moses: 22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abombination.

That is a pretty clear statement of disapproval.

But back in Genesis 19:24, the ultimate 'statement' is made: Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

Seems like a pretty clear sign the Lord didn't approve of the goings on there.
