There is an End to God's Mercy

Read Genesis 19.

The two angels have another assignment to directly handle.  They are on a mission according to 18:21 to see firsthand if the evil in the valley has reached its end.  When they arrive, the wickedness is "to the last man" (19:4).  In other words the only man left worth saving was Lot.  The cities were totally committed to the most heinous behavior and God's mercy had reached its end.

Note verse 22.  The angel stated, "I can do nothing till you arrive there."  God's wrath is never intended for His own.  We saw that with Noah.  This is consistent with the rest of scripture, including the judgement in Revelation.

The Word of God could not be more clear on the subject of homosexuality.  To this day such behavior is legally referred to as Sodomy.  God's judgement is so severe against homosexuality because it is the second to the last step of a society before its demise.  The last one being when human life has no value and open elimination of certain humans becomes acceptable.  History is filled the proof.  Where is the Roman Empire?  Where is the Third Reich?  America is much closer to this demise than most want to discuss, let alone admit.

Civil societies not only contain but appreciate diversity and tolerant behavior.  But there is a great distinction between racial, cultural, or personality differences and tolerating evil.  To tolerate evil is sin in itself.  Proverbs 14:34-"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."

It is often difficult to love the sinner while hating the sin.  But that is what God does.  For those of us who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have been given an assignment to directly handle.  It is the mission of reconciliation.  2 Corinthians 5:20-"Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.  We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."
