Trekkie said: I apologize for my lengthy delay in responding, but it was finals week last week. I also must respect the wishes of the mods. If you want me to respond to this thread, move it to the Worldview section. Jesse has forbidden me from posting here. I only post this to let you know. I will await your response in the appropriate thread.
bullhornbob says: Apology accepted. I would hope most of the people who post here have some sort of an existence beyond posting on a message board (Get a job, Morluna! j/k).
I am a bit perplexed, though. I thought I originally started the thread here, and then Jesse moved it to the Doctrine section. I may be mistaken, though. I could have started it in the Random Posts section.
At any rate, as possible, I would love to hear some serious answers to my original question:
If God loves the homosexuals so much, then why did he rain down fire and brimstone from heaven on the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities?
The Bible also states that this judgement was only temporal, as Jesus speaks of another judgement to come for these cities (and indeed all mankind) in Matthew 11:24.

god hates more than he loves, and that is not healthy, especially for a deity.

You are right, Jesse did move it.
At any rate, thanks. No apology necessary.
I can't respond in full now though, because I have to go to work--see, I do have a life!

To my knowledge it has always been in the theology section.

To my knowledge it has always been in the theology section. No. If you go to Random Posts, and (for now) go to the second page, you can see "God's Love for the Homosexuals". If you click there, it says, "This thread moved to Doctrine and Theology by Jesse Morrel."

He didn't. Well, not specifically them. He rained it down on rapists and those who were horribly corrupt. The Bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin anywhere, yet it repeats that rape is a sin.

god hates more than he loves, and that is not healthy, especially for a deity. On what do you base your information?
