Sodom and Gomorrah rose and fell long before Isaiah was born, back in the days of Abraham! And a preacher mistook the reference above to refer to an idea that Isaiah actually preached in those cities. Had he researched the passage and observed some ideas from a good commentary or scholarly work, he would have realized how incorrect he was.
The idea that commentaries and references are nonsense is rife amongst many apostolic ministers, but is ridiculous in actuality. I send the motion that minister should use some good years in bible school.

I agree, as long as it is accredited.
