THE SIN OF SODOM

I was just talking with a co-worker (who is awake and a Christian - but only likes Mormons because he likes me....it was fun when I outed myself and he had to decide whether to throw the baby out with the bathwater.  He ended up keeping the baby, in this case) about this. 

He is a great guy who is using means after the death of his mother to get prepped.  I mentioned that he needs to think of others (not be self-centered in his thinking) when prepping.  If we become selfish and introverted in our thinking and largesse, we stand the chance of becoming as those of Sodom:

The sin was not so much one of sexual deviance, as it is a sin of pride and greediness.  When it comes to homosexuality, I have always asked myself - and tried to observe in those who I know who are lesbos and homosexual - did the greediness or the homosexuality come first.  Did the putting of one's own agenda (over that of God's) lead to greediness and selfishness, or did deciding to snub the first commandment (multiply and replenish the earth) and live for endless adventures (travel, acquiring of endless toys and the pursuit of things or titles or excessive education, or wealth accumulation, plastic surgery to have the perfect body, etc), in lieu of the harder path traveled; of kids, family, mini-vans, second rate housing, endless sacrifices in behalf of others.  I have always wondered which led to which - and may never come to a conclusive point on that musing. 

But we do know that Sodom suffered from the opposite condition of that which will be found in a Zion society.  If we want to prosper in what is coming, we should share.  I only came to this conclusion about 8 years ago, maybe 9.  Before that, it was all about having enough ammo to stave off the hunger-crazed people in the Ward who had scoffed at the counsel of the Prophet to prepare and who were now desperate.  I still will not feed those - until the Lord has brought them through the fire and they have learned obedience by those things that they must suffer in order to purge the rebellious spirit in them.  Remember that the Lord shut up the ark - not Noah.  In like manner, the Lord will provide a mechanism by which the wicked will perish and I will not have to make that call - but will be under obligation to feed those who make it through (those the Lord sees fit to bring through the eye of the needle).  Children first, then adults.  Those outside the Church first, who were not under the law; then those who had the law, chose to ignore it, and then were purged of their insolent attitudes by those things that they were called through to suffer.

Harsh - but logical - and after the order of how God operates - speaking from a historical/scriptural account.
