Sodom and Gomorrah: Not Included in Salvation on Earth or in Heaven

What would have happened to Abraham if he had spoken up to defend all the unrightous people of Sodom and Gomorrah, whom God had said that he would certainly destroy? What if Abraham had argued with God about the destruction of the Sodomites and all the other immoral people that were doomed to be lost in a fiery death? Would Abraham have been determined by God to be unrighteous also, if he had sided with the Sodomites and pleaded with God for them to be saved from their total destruction? Why did God totally destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? What were his reasons? Are we to question God´s judgment and risk our own annihilation in his wrath? I don´t think so, yet we must allow for forgiveness, but only through the repentance of evil sinful acts. Only through God´s forgiveness do we all enter into his righteousness and not through our own works or by our own will, but through His grace and mercy. God showed mercy unto Lot and his family, the son of Abraham´s brother, not simply because they were his relatives, but because they were righteous in God´s eyes. God did not have any mercy on the husbands of Lot´s two daughters. The two sons in law chose to remain in Sodom and ridiculed Lot for even telling them about the destruction. You have to work out your own salvation and meet with God on His terms. No person is saved because he is part of a family, or even part of a Church Congregation, nor because you are of a certain Denomination, or even subscribe to a belief system of love and benevolence toward all mankind.

You have to go directly to God through Jesus Christ and plead for your own forgiveness and mercy before the throne of God. I don´t think that I would be doubting the judgment of God and his destruction of the evils that were so evident in Sodom and Gomorrah. God said to Abraham, that even if only ten were found to be righteous would he spare the destruction of that evil and vile place, but God waited until the last righteous person had vacated the entire area, and then he sent total destruction from above. Think about opposing God´s laws and rules that have been laid down and given to us in the Holy Scriptures, before you defend those who are in open rebellion against the Holy Spirit and God´s righteousness. You might wind up being included in with the ones that are doomed to eternal destruction, especially after you are no longer considered as righteous in His eyes. It can happen here on Earth too, just like it can happen in the final judgment. Sodom and Gomorrah are God´s proof that there is also Earthly destruction for the wicked. Sodom and Gomorrah were not included in God´s plan of salvation for the Earth, and they were certainly not on his diversity and inclusion agenda to group the evil in with the righteous ones, who had decided to follow his laws. The wicked of Sodom and Gomorrah were unrepentant and chose their evil lifestyle, instead of righteousness, which led to their own demise and total destruction.

If your company is following a practice of diversity and inclusion that is contrary to God´s laws, I might suggest looking for another company, or state, our even country for that matter. You might consider trying to change the laws of your own country to better accommodate God´s laws, instead of just going along with and supporting the evil that brings about certain destruction. God´s WILL happens on Earth as it is in Heaven all the time. If you just go along with the evil that brings about destruction, you might not be including yourself in with the righteous, those who are to be spared from Earthly hell and destruction, as well as from eternal damnation. If you don´t consider yourself to be righteous in God´s eyes, there might be some benefit in finding out what it takes to become righteous or at least make the attempt thereof, as there are many guidelines that God has given us to go by in his most excellent gift to mankind, the Holy Bible. It really doesn´t matter if you are righteous in your own eyes or not, but are you doing the right things according to God´s plan that he has given us to follow? It might be wise to try and separate yourself from the world, even though the world will surely hate you for it.

Matthew 6:9 - 6:13

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
