Jude doesn't disagree. "Unnatural desire" is a bad translation. It refers to "other flesh," referring to sex between humans & angels (a controversial thing at the time). It's also from centuries later. We've discussed this twice: &
According to progressives and world-appeasing evangelicals, Sodom & Gomorrah were bad b/c they weren't hospitable/winsome enough.
Jude disagrees:
"Sodom and Gomorrah...indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire...undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." (Jude 7)

Except "prototypical" does not mean "necessary & sufficient" & dictionary definitions overwhelming rely on the latter. It's a question of the perception of proximity rather than the binary possession or non-possession of features.

Listen to the episode for more of the context, but we understood him to be using "monster" precisely according to the gloss you offer here, which stands entirely opposed to the text of Matthew 5.
@mattd23
This is a claim made in the medieval Tractate Yeshu, but it’s doubtful for the Talmud. Yeshu is an accurate representation of how many (particularly Galileans) would have pronounced Jesus’ name. The Talmud mentions multiple ppl named Yeshu & that spelling is also on an ossuary.

This is a trade book, not a scholarly one, so it’s likely to have some good information, but it’s not a peer-reviewed academic publication.
