real sin of sodom

Q - napanood ko po yung preaching niyo na the real sin of sodom.
And i also found another video in youtube that tells na sexual immorality is the sin of sodom having this verse jude 1:7
And another explanation na though sodom was inhospitable , its really sexual immorality that deserves the destruction of the city.
A - consider the verses that mention it and stick to the verses, not the preachings of people.
Ezekiel 16:49-50New Living Translation (NLT)
49 Sodom’s sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door. 50 She was proud and committed detestable sins, so I wiped her out, as you have seen.[a]
Q - So bali po consider ko po yung In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the sorrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. - Jude 1:7
A -
Yung gamit kasi ng word na sodomite sa Jude is already based on the premise that the sin of sodom was sexual. But the OT verse tells us that the sin was unkindness. Sometime in Israel's religious history, some people began to teach that the sin of sodom was sexual immorality, very probably the conservative priests/religious teachers that were so allergic to anything sexual. Later on, it became traditional to equate the word sodom with sexual immorality. And the use of the word in Jude is based on that usage that was common at the time of writing.
But Ezekiel 16.49 is clear. The sin of the city was unkindness and pride.
