I was in a FB conversation with someone about the sins of grinding on the face of the poor - and how that relates to Sodom - and this was the gist of it:
This is from the LDS Institute Manual, Old Testament
"Genesis 19:13. What Was the Wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah?
In
the Genesis account it is clear that the people of these two cities had
become extremely immoral, engaging in homosexuality and other abuses.
But the prophet Ezekiel gave greater insight when he said, “Behold, this
was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and
abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and
committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw
good.” (Ezekiel 16:49–50.) James said that pure religion was to “visit
the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep [oneself]
unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). Sodom and Gomorrah not only had
partaken of the filthiness of sexual immorality but had rejected their
fellow men in need."
