It is best to concentrate on the stories where there is some moral judgement, positive or negative, of those relationships. There are many incestuous relationships in the Bible. Lot then has sex with both of his own daughters, and they have children by him ( 19:30-38, with no word of opposition from the Holy Book. Lot is saved by God's angels, favoured, and described as just and righteous ( Genesis 19:11-13, 15-17,19, 2 Peter 2:6-8). #bible #biblical_morals #christianity #genetics #incest #marriage #sex #sexualityįull page: " Incest in the Bible: Adam and Eve and Their Children, and Noah and His Family" by Vexen Crabtree (2012) Incest is Condemned in the Bible (Well, most the time) That the 'God' described in Genesis apparently doesn't actually know, and leads Abraham along in this extended and pointless discussion, is a big hint that Genesis 18 and 19 is more concerned with fiction and story-telling rather than any element of divine truth. It cannot be the case that Lot and Abraham were conversing with any actual God as it would clearly have known exactly how much sin there was in Sodom and Gomorrah, and would have known exactly how many people there were worth saving, and Abraham would have known that God knew. Abraham and God argue and tussle over how many righteous people there might be there it is revealed that there are fewer than ten ( Genesis 18:23-33). So he determines to personally go down in order to find out if this is true.
SODOM OF GYLT FULL
In Genesis 18:20-21 God is said to have heard that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are full of grievous sinners. See: " Is Omniscience Possible? Does God Know Everything?" by Vexen Crabtree (2002) There are many places in the Bible where God is said to be all-knowing, but, there is also a surprising number of places where God is not all-knowing. God Does Not Know If Sodom and Gomorrah is Full of Grievous Sin, Or Not (Is God Omniscient?) But the immorality is not the only confusing aspect various aspects of this story contradict the rest of the Bible. Its moral teachings are so absurd and upside-down that it numbs the brain! I cannot fathom how anyone can read this and still consider themselves to share a belief in the same God as Lot and Abraham. The entire episode of Lot, Sodom and Gomorrah, as explained in the Bible, is fantastical and very hard to take seriously. This horrid and unwholesome man is unfortunately endorsed by God and the Bible. Lot survives and has sex with both of his own daughters, and they have children by him ( Genesis 19:30-38). Safeguarding male adults at the expense of (virgin) daughters can never be the right thing to do. I'm sure if his guests were moral people, they'd have fought too. Any moral person, or father, would have physically fought to safeguard his daughters from mass rape.
But everything to do with Lot is highly uncomfortable his morals and priorities seem irreconcilable with any form of goodness. Lot is also described as just and righteous in the New Testament ( 2 Peter 2:6-8). Lot, for his bravery in trying to save his male guests by sending his daughters to get raped, was considered favourable by god, and was saved from Sodom's destruction by God's angels ( Genesis 19:11-13, 15-17,19). Homosexuality is worse than incest and allowing the raping of child virgins. You need not fight against immoral mobs if you can instead give them something they might want (such as your daughters). Safeguarding male adult guests is more important than preventing the rape of your own children. It is important to be hospitable and kind to strangers. Lot went on to live in a cave with his two daughters and they both had children by him ( Genesis 19:3-38). But the men from Sodom were so immoral, they didn't want to rape his daughters - they wanted his male guests! Genesis 18:23-33- had already revealed that there are fewer than 10 righteous men in Sodom, and, therefore, God blinded the crowd and then destroyed the city ( Gen. Lot thought it better to send out his daughters, telling the crowd they were virgins and they could do what they want with them ( Genesis 19:7-8). Genesis 19:1-5 says that one day, three visitors arrived in the city, and Lot kindly put them up for the night but all the people of Sodom, young and old, crowded around Lot's house and wanted sex with the visitors. Lot lived in Sodom, with his wife and two daughters. Incest is Condemned in the Bible (Well, most the time).God Does Not Know If Sodom and Gomorrah is Full of Grievous Sin, Or Not (Is God Omniscient?).The Bible Endorses Lot's Immoral Actions.8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. 7And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
