What does this verse mean? | |||
=The context of Luke 17:30 | William Branham continually points to this reference to Sodom and emphasizes that Sodom was destroyed for their sexual immorality and homosexuality. He frequently types this behavior to that of the modern church, equating the way people dress, the immorality of the world today, and of churches to that of Sodom. Here's one such example: | ||
:''What did He do to Sarah and Abraham? After He went on down to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Angels come down there, '''seen that perverted generation of people, just like we're getting today'''... Look at the papers and things, how they're packing, how perversion people is on the move because men can't be satisfied with one wife, and he's living with every thing, every woman that he can run around with, and women the same way. And it's become just like the sin of Sodom. On the increase, till the government's full of them; the nation's full of them. This West Coast is contaminated with it. I get thousands of letters from up-and-down this coast of men and women and things, done stepped across the line, '''perverted''', giving them the mind of--of that type. Notice, what a pitiful thing it is. Not a remedy or medicine in the world can cure it: only God.<ref>55-1117 JEHOVAH.JIREH_ SAN.FERNANDO.CA</ref> | |||

First, let's make sure we get additional context by reading more of Luke 17. In this case, we are quoting the NLT, but you can see this plainly in the KJV as well: | First, let's make sure we get additional context by reading more of Luke 17.

While William Branham stated that Sodom was destroyed because of sexual immorality, that's not really what the Bible says. | While William Branham stated that Sodom was destroyed because of sexual immorality, that's not really what the Bible says. | ||
