I'm pretty sure it was aimed at me. I did my best to provide you with an opinion regarding the story of Lot and the angry mob. Intersting that you chose to reply to others' responses, but not mine. Especially after this remark.

Seems as though the "Christians" are the ones with an agenda here.

Context is far more important. We all know that; or we should, anyway. Every beginning reader is made to understand the importance of context. Those that would discount the importance of it are universally trying to alter the meaning conveyed by the context, as they are in this case. Because they have a pro-gay agenda.
I tried to explain the context in which this
one word is given, and how angels are presented in the Bible. You chose to ignore all of that and go after the lower-hanging fruit.

Isn't that kind of what you have done here?
