#203: Ezekiel 14-16 | God and Jerusalem - A marriage made in heaven

God begins this episode by saying that he sometimes deceives prophets. And when he does, he then kills the prophet and whoever believes him. Next he says that when people sin, he will kill them all with beasts, swords, famine, and pestilence. He'd only save three people: Noah, Daniel, and Job. Then God talks about his marriage to Jerusalem. He saved Jerusalem when she was an abandoned baby, raised her, gave her lots of nice things, and then married her. But Jerusalem had sex with everyone and everything she could find - especially with well-endowed Egyptians. So God had her lovers strip her naked, stone her to death, and then stab her body with swords. The episode ends with God telling us about the sin of Sodom - and it wasn't homosexuality. It was pride, gluttony, idleness, and not helping the poor.
