A sheep in wolf's clothing.
Genesis 10
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
(Amos 1:1) KJV
Amos prophesied the coming judgment of God two years before an earthquake. How did he know that it was coming? Amos was a herdsman and probably spent his nights outside. Did Amos see something in the heavens?

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
(Psalms 19:6) KJV
How do you rationalize an event where it looked like the sun and moon stopped moving? You could say that the Earth stopped rotating, but the sun and moon maintained their relative position with each other.

Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
(Joshua 10:12-14) KJV
Joshua was going so hard that he ordered the sun to stay still until he had killed everybody. That’s faith: when you know the power of God and trust in it so completely that of course you have access to it, why wouldn’t you?

And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
(Joshua 10:11) KJV
Stones fell out of heaven which killed only the Canaanites, but none of the Israelites. This is rather tricky to account for, at least, if you believe the Bible within the popular science paradigm (SciPop).

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
(Hebrews 13:8) KJV
Sexual immorality includes a lot of things. The Bible is the guide to what is and isn’t acceptable. Sexual relations between a man and woman are sanctified by marriage. Anything else is immoral.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:7) ESV
It’s possible to redeemed and gay at the same time, however, this causes tension between our spiritual and carnal natures and robs us of the peace which passes all understanding.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.
(1 Thessalonians 4:3-6) NKJV
Sodom and Gomorrah was God’s way of making a very important point. It was relevant to the age, when a minute human population had a vast world to populate and subdue. We don’t live in that age.

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
(1 Peter 2:15-17) NKJV
Some would answer NO, you can’t be redeemed and be gay. We Christians are botching our outreach to the LGBTQIA+ community so badly that many people think that we’re mean, hateful people.

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
(1 Peter 2:13-14) NKJV
Some people would answer YES, you can be redeemed and be gay. Those are the moderate and liberal Christians for whom the barn door was left open long ago and the horse ran off.

Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
(Genesis 41:53-54) NKJV
It was necessary for the children of Israel to sojourn in Egypt for over 400 years, during which time they became a great nation. God got Jacob and his family to Egypt by causing a famine throughout the land of Canaan.
