What Part Of Cease To Do Evil, Learn To Do Good. Devote Yourself To Justice; Aid The Wronged Goes Over Your Heads?

IT'S AN INTERESTING thing, you, a "traditional" Catholic, complaining about the posts debunking the use of the Sodom and Gomorrah story to condemn marriage equality on Tuesday when the first reading at mass the day you posted your whine dealt, specifically with the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah, Isaiah comparing the sins of the Jerusalem Temple-political establishments to those cities, in Chapter 1. Nowhere is same-sex-sex mentioned, though "harlotry" is, what is mentioned are sins of injustice, especially economic injustice to orphans and widows (Scriptural shorthand for the poor and powerless).

Hear the word of the LORD,
You chieftains of Sodom;
Give ear to our God's instruction,
You folk of Gomorrah!
"What need have I of all your sacrifices?"
Says the LORD.
"I am sated with burnt offerings of rams,
And suet of fatlings,
And blood of bulls;
And I have no delight
In lambs and he-goats.
That you come to appear before Me
Who asked that of you?
Trample My courts no more;
Bringing oblations is futile;
Incense is offensive to Me.
New moon and sabbath,
Proclaiming of solemnities,
Assemblies with iniquity;
I cannot abide.
Your new moons and fixed seasons
Fill Me with loathing;
They are become a burden to Me,
I cannot endure them.
And when you lift up your hands
I will turn My eyes away from you;
Though you pray at length,
I will not listen.
Your hands are stained with crime
Wash yourselves clean;
Put your evil doings
Away from My sight.
Cease to do evil;
Learn to do good.
Devote yourselves to justice;
Aid the wronged.
Uphold the rights of the orphan;
Defend the cause of the widow.
"Come, let us reach an understanding,"
-says the LORD.
"Be your sins like crimson,
They can turn snow-white;
Be they red as dyed wool,
They can become like fleece."
If, then, you agree and give heed,
You will eat the good things of the earth;
But if you refuse and disobey,
You will be devoured [by] the sword.
For it was the LORD who spoke.
Alas, she has become a harlot,
The faithful city
That was filled with justice,
Where righteousness dwelt
But now murderers.
Your silver has turned to dross;
Your wine is cut with water.
Your rulers are rogues
And cronies of thieves,
Every one avid for presents
And greedy for gifts;
They do not judge the case of the orphan,
And the widow's cause never reaches them.

Isaiah 1:10-23 Jewish Study Bible

I have to say, everywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures that it talks about the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah after Genesis, it seems like it's news to them that it has something to do with condemning faithful, loving sexual relationships between Gay men or between Lesbians. You'd think that the later religious authorities who pretended to believe those later Prophets spoke with divine inspiration if not authority would have had more of an influence on their reading.  I have to wonder if maybe Isaiah and the other, later Prophets had a different version of the story than the one that survives in the far later manuscripts, both the Hebrew and the Septuagint. Or if the Prophets were competent enough readers to get that the story as written has nothing to do with adult, consensual same-sex sex in a context of equality and faithfulness in a committed marriage anymore than the one in Judges 19 has to do with adult, consensual opposite-sex sex in a context of equality and faithfulness. Though explain again to me how it is relevant to marriage equality as the Levite male is there to take his girl sex slave back into bondage (a concubine is a sex slave) before the asshole throws her to the FRICKIN' STRAIGHT RAPE AND MURDER MOB IN THAT STORY NOT A GAY ONE YOU FRICKIN' ILLITERATE LIAR.  It has nothing to do with adulthood (she was probably a young girl) consent, equality and faithfulness, it has nothing to do with what I advocated. AND IT'S A HETEROSEXUAL GANG-RAPE MURDER! as she was thrown to the straight mob by her total asshole of a sexual enslaver.  Yet I have never seen it used to condemn the grotesque inequality and injustice of most straight sex in history, married or not.

I would say there are areas of traditional Bible reading that are as seriously hypocritical and screwed up as that used to condemn LGBTQ+ People but there are none more hypocritical and dishonest and of such long standing.
