Archaeologist now believe that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are the sites in the Vale of Siddim, which is immediately backed up against the mountains right along side the Dead Sea. The archaeologist now believe that possibly after an earthquake a tsunami manufactured flood waters from the Dead Sea, which swallowed the city.

Well then, where does the fire and brimstone come into play? I say that a large meteorite fell in the dead sea “the fire and brimstone”, which caused a tsunami and swallowed up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Another idea is there being a volcano that went off as well. Volcanoes blowing thier stacks back then was a rather common occurance. As well as a stray meteorite smacking into the earth. Or meteor storm.

Nah it was a Space Alien WMD. Lot's wife stayed in the targeted region and got obliterated into salt, And I bet the surrounding cities of Sodom and Gomorrah had recieved minor damage from the calamity like knocked over trees etc...

The 2 men sent to evacuate Lot and "God's" physical face to face conversation with Abram make it sound like it was a planned attack by intelligent life.

No kidding aside, I too question that. Even we are considering action of some sort in respect to redirecting the meteor headed between earth and the moon some 38 years from now. I recently saw on National Geographic how we are considering such things now but they went into little detail.

Where ever you find the ring of fire, you will find Sodom and Gomorrah.
In our nation, the ring of fire runs along the pacific coast.

I though Lot's wife was leaving with them but turned around to see what was happening to Sodom and Gomorrah and was turned to stone and the stone crumbled or whatever and she blew away in the wind.

I believe it was metaphoric meaning, don't look back, but she liked her life there and probably returned to Sodom and Gomorrah and was there for the time of it's destruction.

Sodom and gomorrah are San Francisco and Los Angeles. Whenever there is a big Earthquake you say "You see, Sodom and Gomorrah! They ought to change their immoral ways before its too late.

Considering that they are speaking of a port, I would peg Los Angeles because it has a tremendous port in Harbor City. San Francisco is more a fishing port, which is currently changing, but not anywhere to the degree in respect to the size of the Los Angeles port. Thousands of containers are taken off ships daily in Los Angeles. Can you imagine just one of them having a nuclear weapon in it. Containers are only check "inside" randomly.

Revelations 18:15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

I heard that sodom and gomorrah was iraq

If there really was a god hellbent on killing a whole city of people who were supposedly all evil then how did humanity ever make it this far? There is probably a geological answer to the demise of these two cities...like an earthquake, and since people are easily brainwashed...religious leaders probably told the people it was their sins that caused it. So tithe more.lol
However, at preset, with polar ice caps melting, magneticfeild weakening, and the troposphere getting thinner allowing more UVa and UVb rays to penetrate I think it is going to get worse before it gets better...but that is because of industrialisation.

Well yeah. But Christians could argue the following:

God said to worship no other before him.

He got pissed when people built the false idol out of gold.

Gold was used as money.

Money drives industrialisation and war.

Therefore war and the thinning of the ozone layer because of industrialization are God's dynamic punishments for worshipping the false idol of money.

So space alien traveled millions of miles to obliterate a city just because it did bad things? Maybe they rig the superbowl to.

As to God doing it remember why though. While Sodom has become synonomous with homosexual sex thats not why the city was destroyed. it was destroyed because it was a place of unmitigated evil. When Lot asked God to spare they City God agreed on the condition that Lot find ten worthy men. Even by ancient populations finding ten decent people between two large cities should have been easy enough yet it was impossible.

There is ample evidence of subterranean deposits of a petroleum-based substance called bitumen, similar to asphalt, in the region south of the Dead Sea. Such material normally contains a high percentage of sulfur. It has been postulated by geologist Frederick Clapp that pressure from an earthquake could have caused the bitumen deposits to be forced out of the earth through a fault line. As it gushed out of the earth it could have been ignited by a spark or surface fire. It would then fall to earth as a burning, fiery mass.


Thta's from ambyglam's link, and it sounds good to me! And now to answer the topic question grin2.gif : No, they already found Sodm and Gomorrah.

Sodom is the degenerated mind of those who do not believe and gomorrah the mind of those who believe; Sodom is Samaria or Aholah, and gomorrah is Jerusalem or Aholibah.

Sodom or Aholah is the degenerated mind that plays the harlot with atheism and gomorrah or her sister Aholibah is more corrupt since her whoredoms are more disgusting than her sister's whoredoms because this degenerated mind wallows within vain beliefs.

Thus, the sons and the daughters of Sodom and Gomorrah will perish and their houses burn up with fire. huh.gif

Most cities today are like somorra y gomorra wheres your god now?

I think the theory of God destroying them is bs.

Whatever God did unto sodom and gommorah it couldn't have been any worse than what the sodomites were doing to each other any way.
Seems more like Divine intervention caused by a God angry at a certain populations refusal to pop out babies by the score to add to the other lost sheep in the flock. Don't forget this is the same guy who played peekabo behind the apple tree in the garden of eden.("aha caught you, now out you go")
Just cause they did it for fun.
(note. In the ancient world it was common practice to engage in anal intercourse during lovemaking instead of the more common vaginal intercourse nowadays. Something to do with women not wanting to spend their entire lives with bad backs and swollen ankles in an age 2 millenia before the tens machine was invented)

I vote Las Vegas and Reno Nevada as the modern Sodom and Gomorrah. If yellowstone burps again, there will be fire and brimstone over those places. w00t.gif w00t.gif
I don;t think there will be any divine intervention for them either. unsure.gif unsure.gif
