intolerable—things that are unacceptable to God and that violates his character (Satinover). As we can see, Sodom and Gomorrah were wicked and deep in sin but the main reason God destroyed them was because of their sins of homosexuality.

Abraham’s compassion for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals the heart of a man who cared greatly for others. In fact, the angelic visitors who visited Lot were about to be abused by men of Sodom who desired to have sex with them.

proposed, and God agreed to allow for 30, 20, 10 in succession, until Abraham finally gave up probably because 10 innocents could not be found in those evil towns. Had Sodom and Gomorrah had ten righteous individuals, the towns would have been spared.

He was an inspirational leader for his followers and God assured…
