God's terrible judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah

Standard viewpoint and doctrine when I was learning this, in Sunday School as a youth, was all three.

homosexual acts  obviously

"Sharing" of partners with other males/females,activate "alpha"effect.Bisexuality or homosexuality would be result of this.I believe Bible had described city of pleasure and sin,rather than ordinary ancient city.Las
Vegas combined with kinky sexual pleasures.Basic one was:incest.I believe that human reproduction out of
closest family members,have made us different than animals and more humans.Fritzl case have to remind
us about it:

Weird time were those indeed!Isolated cases,that were published,just remind us about reasons Sodom and
Gomorrah were created:The anger of God will find you as those from the destroyed cities!

I'm talking about the cult. At one point even some of the Israelites followed it.

Oh I heard about that group, their claim is even more preposterous than that of the Mormons!

Not so fast on that my friend.   No one's mentioned the Lembaa.

40 years in the desert of Sinai where there are no African tribes but Bedouins.

While the Israelites may have intermarried with Egyptians (who were black) after 40 years in the desert any black features would have disappeared, especially as the Israelites came into contact with Semitic Canaanite women     Nick, 40 years wouldn't be long enough to eliminate Afroid features.  Even being isolated from any future genetic ties with anyone of African desent.  My Great Grandmother 3x removed was West African.  From the limited information I have, she passed away during the Civil War.  My grandmother, while very light skinned, still had some hints of her heritage in her facial features.  However, the generation I belong to, with light skin and blond hair[well, it was blond once ] has no trace.   The passage of time here is approx. 150 Years.

For the sake of argument, let us say that 4 decades in the desert were not enough to dilute the Afroid features. I don't recall any of the Jews staying in the desert, they all went to Canaan with Moses. So none of those who supposedly would have married African women, and remember that Jews are strictly discouraged to marry a non-Israelite, would have actually become separated and form a distinct people later on. Anyhow, I don't see how Jewish genetics would have reached all the way to south Africa. It says that they found some Middle-eastern heritage in 50% of the lemba population. Bravo, but wouldn't that be more likely people from the Southern part of the Arabian peninsula who are actually closer to east Africa and South Africa and who happened to trade throughout the Red Sea?
