Sodom and Gomorrah were settlements south of the Dead Sea, believed on the Jordan side. It is thought that residents there were mining salt from the nearby Mount Sodom, which was one of the most valuable commodities in those times - and from which we derive the words 'salary' 'soldier' and others.
Apparently destroyed by earthquakes, endemic to the area. Given the hostile environment where few would want to live, as well as probable lack of pastimes or female partners, it had a reputation for homosexuality - hence the word 'sodomy'. Naturally after it was destroyed, religious attributions implied their sexual behaviour caused their destruction.
Being situated at the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea, the resulting evaporation of sea water is the cause for the salt. Since salt enabled the society to progress from hunter/gatherer, enabling the user to preserve meat instead of daily hunting, and permitted humans to begin developing agriculture, and later - iPhones, it is understandable why it was such a valuable commodity.
Even today the surrounding area is relatively fruitful, thanks to underground springs, and surrounding settlements take advantage of it. But it is still located in an extreme desert, as it was a few thousand years ago. The reason for the earthquakes is because the area is situated on the Israel/Jordan Rift Valley, with the Jordanian side relatively moving northward at a rate of 2-2.5mm per year. There has been an estimated 100km movement since it first started at least 50 million years ago.

Verify that sin minus cos plus 1 divided by sin plus cos subtract 1 equals sin plus 1 divided by cos?
[sin - cos + 1]/[sin + cos - 1] = [sin + 1]/cosiff [sin - cos + 1]*cos = [sin + 1]*[sin + cos - 1]iff sin*cos - cos^2 + cos = sin^2 + sin*cos - sin + sin + cos - 1iff -cos^2 = sin^2 - 11 = sin^2 + cos^2, which is true,
What is sin of -pi?
sin(-pi) = sin(-180) = 0 So the answer is 0
What does cosx divided by 1-sinx equal?
cos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan xcos x / (1-sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin x) (1 + sin x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / (1 - sin2x) = cos x (1 + sin x) / cos2 x = (1 + sin x) / cos x = sec x + tan x
Factor sin cubed plus cos cubed?
sin cubed + cos cubed (sin + cos)( sin squared - sin.cos + cos squared) (sin + cos)(1 + sin.cos)
Verify cot x-180 cot x?
cot x = (cos x) / (sin x) cos (x - 180) = cos x cos 180 + sin x sin 180 = - cos x sin (x - 180) = sin x cos 180 - cos x sin 180 = - sin x cot (x - 180) = (cos (x - 180)) / (sin (x - 180)) = (- cos x) / (- sin x) = (cos x) / (sin x) = cot x
Where is the city of sin in the bible?
Sodom
Did lot warn sodom?
YES he did live in sodom.
Were jesus' ancestors gay?
No I do not think so. We can see by the Old Testament that God considered homosexuality a sin (Genesis 19:4-7) and probably would have destroyed anyone practicing that sin as He did Sodom, especially if they had been in Jesus ancestry. This is not saying that Jesus' ancestors were sinless because they were not, but they paid for their sin if they did not repent.

According to Judaeo-Christian teaching is Sodomy a sin?
Sodomy is by definition a sin as it is the sin for which the city of Sodom was destroyed by God in the Old Testament. However... (you knew that there would be a however didn't you) there are some problems defining exactly what sodomy is!To the writer of above- Sodom was not destroyed for the sin of sodomy. The bible clearly tells us why it was destroyed: Ezekiel 16:49-50: "Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food, and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me.[8] Therefore I removed them when I saw it."By definition Sodom was destroyed for the sin of Sodomy these are the abominations that they committed, it may be as Ezekiel suggests that they were a lack of charity or perhaps as some scholars have suggested a failure of hospitality the Bible is unclear on the subject.Warning sexually explicit answerUnder US law sodomy encompasses both anal and oral sexual intercourse between both homosexual and heterosexual couples as well as bestiality. Under the Common Law it encompassed only anal sex (although it was not restricted to homosexuals). Canon Law (the law of the Church) has usually equated sodomy with homosexuality.There are some Biblical scholars who have suggested that the sin of Sodom was actually a breach of hospitality an offence with very serious implications in the Semitic culture to this day.On the broader issue as to the sinful nature of any of the above acts that is a matter of conscience. Provided they take place within a consenting, loving and stable relationship I suspect God doesn't mind.I think God is not nearly as interested in what we do in our bedrooms as he is in what is in our hearts.
