Discuss Genesis 19 Page 6

Without Christ, I am no better than those of Sodom and Gomorrah.

I believe that it speaks to all The Christens Hearts

It is very clear that the cities were wicked and a demonstration of that wickedness was the sexual perversions of the men of the city of Sodom. Lot vexed his soul and lost the majority of his family.

Yes thats correct but lot was nothing compared to the people of SODOM which is why the Lord spared them. all the saints in the bible still had wicked flesh like us they were not sinlessly perfect. ABRAHAM was an idolator he was from bablyon. ONLY GOD can make you righteous works salvation is self righteous. the only man that IS self righteous is THE LORD JESUS

Lot was prepared to give his own children to be raped. A good man then? I think not. Read Ezekiel on the sin of Sodom.

Verse 3: Lot showed hospitality to the angels. Lot knew how corrupt the city was and he made sure he took the angles into his house to provide for them and to protect them.

Save me lord

Serrallez, read verse 37. The 2 daughters now have sons. (They "laid" w him)

Down through the ages, God has been consistent in warning about His impending wrath. He never leaves us in doubt of his plan and oftentimes we are too blind or obstinate to see. This chapter exemplifies God's second chance opportunity for humanity and the inclination of humans to keep regressing into sin like Lot's wife did by looking back. May His Grace help us walk along the narrow way to heaven

Let's not forget that Abraham and GOD had a covenant and that covenant was between GOD and Abraham not Lot. When GOD called Abraham out of the land of which his family, Lot was not supposed to come. No where in previous scripture do we notice a covenant or fellowship that occurred between Lot and GOD so it is safe to say that the mercy extended on Lot was on the strength of Abraham Genesis 19:29

God grant me the strength to follow your word I am still a lustful person I still sin and I know it is wrong jesus please grant me the grace to do what is right Heavenly Father come into my life and help me follow you lord I am a lost sheep out of the 100 please find me and help me have the faith to be part of your 100 sheep hold me close to your bosom.Lord I love you grant me faith to follow you

Deborah K. Genesis 19:30,31,32,33; His daughters "lie with our father that we might preserve his seed." They gave him wine, had sex with him, hoping to become pregnant.
"Lay with" typically means have sex with; if that is the context of the verse.

Lot's wife looking back, would simply suggest that she went back to her sinful life being that Sodom and Gomorrah was a sinful city hence it could be that her heart was of lust of the world; the vanity of what she is leaving behind and that her heart wasn't towards God. The word of God declares in psalms 24:3-4 in order for us to enter in God's presence we gave to be set apart, we can't b lustful

Even when God sent his angels to bring Lot out of danger Lot was reluctant to go. The Angels had to put their hands on him and his family and quide them out. I hope for this mercy in my own life, for I'm often slow to do what I should do.

love this chapter ! hard to discern the meaning after lot comes out and go"s and his daughters lay with?

Edfication

Lot offered his two daughters who was unknown to man virgins to the men in town, only to leave the angels alone. But it also say that lot had sons in laws. How many daughters did lot have?

TRUST IN the LORD But She disobeyed God!

Clearly the water is physical birth. That which is flesh is flesh. Flesh is physical and it is associated with water. We say, her water broke. Spirit is obviously the new birth. This is a good verse for the oneness to explain. Genesis 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven Strange verse if there is no Godhead. What aboutGenesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: The angles sure didn 't help Him considering Isaiah 44:24 I am the LORD that maketh all things that stretcheth forth the heavens alone that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. What aboutGe 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us. Who is us? Hosea 12:4 Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us Who is the US in this verse? The Bible tells you. Hosea 12:5 Even the LORD God of hosts the LORD is his memorial.

Jacques, it is interesting that Lot 's wife was so close to life but looked back and died. Jesus Christ through Scripture stress that Christians must endure until the end. I believe the angel didn 't mention Lot 's daughter-in-laws is because he had no sons. All the trials and test we face in life we must endure until the end for they that endure until the end the same shall be saved Matt.24:13. God bless us all and in the understanding of His Word. Glory be to God in the highest. Amen.

Anonymous, I believe that by recording this Biblical account of Lot 's life the Scripture is confirming that God is no respector of person. All men failures and successes regardless of how great they are or how favored they are in God 's sight. I believe one reason the angel didn 't mention any daughter-in-laws of Lot is because he probably had no sons. I also, believe that like the proverb says necessity is the mother of invention there were no men or no righteous men around to continue the seed or blood line of righteous Lot therefore his daughters devised their plot to carry on his seed. They didn 't have the faith or patience to wait for God to provide. Incest was not frown on as much then as it is today. After all is said and done God allowed the plot to succeed. God bless us al and in the understanding of His Word glory be to God in the highest. Amen.

How the god 's book contains the story of this kinds of incest. What is the lesson from this tale.

It scares me to know Lot 's Wife actually made it in to Zoar AND THEN looked back...Then they wound up going into the mountain anyways as the Angel already commanded . Did anybody realize that the Angels asked if he had "son-in-laws " but not "daughter-in-laws "?...I wonder what his sons had gotten into in a city like that?

I notice before Gods wrath Abraham sacrificed a calf as a sort of priest before God. And made duplication for lots sake. Lot as a saved by grace man celebrates a type of passover with unlevend bread perhaps the first passover?

If God want to favor someone, He does not mind the person 's ignorance, inability, reluctant because His grace supersedes our inadequasies

Hello Nicola, You are right all that glitter 's is not gold. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Now we see that the moabites were born out of incess and that is where the problem lies. Also the men requesting the release of Lot "s visitor suggest the forbidden act they wanted to perform. Initially Lot chose the seemingly better land only to find out not all that glitters is gold

Hello Michelle, you are absolutely correct, Lot 's wife was mentally attached to that place. She is a type and shadow of people today. They get saved and some go back into the world or they continue in the sin. Some do not get a chance to come back. They are lost out there.

I believe that lots wife was caught up with the activities in the city, physically she came out but psychologically she could not let go

I am continuing my comment from Chapter 18 of Genesis. These two angels were men. The men of the city came to Lot 's house. They did not want the daughters of Lot even though Lot had told the men of the city, that his daughters had never known a man. You have to ask yourself, why would Lot go through the trouble to point this out if it was not some type of sexual indication that the men of the city was asking for the angels of God? Once again these men of the city did not want any women they wanted the men angels of God. See Lot 's daughters were married to men, who had never touched them, VERSE 8. Lot 's sons in law were even corrupted. Now I am not saying that this sin was the only sin that was in this city, but when you look at this and really read this the men only wanted men. I do not believe it was for conversation. There is a wicked sexual undertone hear that God does not like and it is HOMOSEXALITY. He destroyed both cities because of this sin.
