Behold i send the Promise of my Father upon you but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be enduded with Power from on high which was the H.G. A Birth they were impregnated when he breath on them his Word etc but the Child the H.G. did not come till the day of Pentecost Some 50 days later THE CHILD WAS THE PROMISE THAT THE father had made long b/f. I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven,The H.G IS THE MULTIPLICATION OF CHRIST the Child of Promise the Israel of God Whosoever receiveth one such Child in my Name receiveth ME, that which is BORN of the spirit is spirit the multiplication of very God in us Sinners remember God swore by Himself impling the Promise wd be HIM TH H.G.

It does not say so in the Bible. There is a difference in asking a question, and questioning what he has allowed. Abraham asked questions, but did no question why.

I think it's good to ask God our questions, but not with impure motives or in a disrespectful distrusting manner. Romans 9:20

Show me in the bible where we are not to question God.

We are not to question God, when we ask why we question his works. Just know that the bad happens because of bad choices people make. The good happens because of our relationship with God we know to do good. Faith leads us to do good, Satan leads us to do bad. God gave us the right to choose our actions. Just know God knows best, we must except and receive.

Why not? I got lots of questions for God. I know what ever He does is right but I want to know why?

Me too. Their Father could have married again and got other children.

Behold 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. Really? No way I would let my daughters out of the house. Look, they didn't tell me they were angels.

"Lot made his way to the mountains, and abode in a cave, stripped of all for which he had dared to subject his family to the influences of a wicked city. But the curse of Sodom followed him even here. The sinful conduct of his daughters was the result of the evil associations of that vile place. Its moral corruption had become so interwoven with their character that they could not distinguish between good and evil. Lot's only posterity, the Moabites and Ammonites, were vile, idolatrous tribes, rebels against God & the bitter enemies of His people" Patriarchs & Prophets p. 167

"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went." Hebrews 11:8. Abraham's unquestioning obedience is one of the most striking evidences of faith to be found in all the Bible. To him, faith was "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Verse 1. Relying upon the divine promise, without the least outward assurance of its fulfillment, he abandoned home and kindred and native land, and went forth, he knew not whither, to follow where God should lead. PATRIARCHS & PROPHETS p. 126

God shows his love and no favoritism by choosing the underdogs for great things. He chose people who had disabilities, speech issues, poor, murderers, in dysfunctional families for great things. It gives us hope.

God had to start somewhere. You would probably ask the same question had He chosen another.

God is a fair judge. In today's world you hear of people doing bad things and 'getting away with it', at least temporarily. They will be judged accordingly. I don't believe anyone gets by with anything. Romans 2:6-11. Also, just because the Bible doesn't describe something doesn't mean something 'didn't happen'. For example, no one in the Bible is described as using the restroom, but we can assume they did. Likewise, you can read several stories without reading about them eating or sleeping, so we shouldn't assume they didn't, because that was omitted. Likewise, just because it doesn't say the daughters were punished doesn't mean they weren't.

Abraham was a pagan living in the Land of the Ur with everyone else worshipping the same gods. It wasn't until God called upon him to move, which begs me to ask the question, why did God pick Abraham from all the other pagans?

I am asking the same question! I think it's crazy that nothing happens to the daughters and it just skips to the next chapter.

It's a little strange that nothing happens to the wicked daughters by God. I wonder why.

Very deep question, thank you for your insight

sometimes it don't tell what happened to those that did wrong. I'm sure they were punished because you don't hear about them after they sinned except for the the sons that they had.

11 Lots daughters became distant relatives of the Jewis h nation,they became part of the Moabites who were prohibited from the LORDS assembly. Moab and the Moabites were an idolatrous nation. who believed in chlld sacrifices.Moab was a lot like sodom and Gomorrah. One good person to come out of that nation was RUTH the Moab.P.T.L. She married Boaz.

its just as real today as it was then.just look around.only kin is not supposed to be with kin today,cuz there is plenty of pe0ple to go around.boys with girls an so on.any other way is sin

they were corrupt in sexual activities that went against the will God other wise why did Lot offer them to have their way with his daughters being virgins, they raped the land and were not generous to those in need, they even abused animals, they were wicked in so many ways

Abraham was never a idolator, read about him, learn about him, sad at the events of the beginning of his life had to begin , but when it's the will of God we do not question it.

Shakeem for verse 5 ""This seems like a form of gang rape. However it didn 't say that they wanted to have sexual relations with them it said they wanted to know them, but know them informally. Yet this still remains a mystery to us because we cant prove but give opinion since it was something wicked."" The next verse clearly explains the intent of the men.. Read vs 6 and 7

@ CHRYSTAL.
God's purpose has been and will aligned with men. Women are absolutely necessary, however, men are used for specific purposes on earth. Eve ate of the forbidden Tree, yet nothing happened...It was only when Adam ate of the Tree that "sin entered the world". Achan sinned by robbing God of the first cities spoils (1 of the 10 cities, referring to the tithe) and so his entire family died.

I don't understand why the daughter's did not get punished for their sin? What am I missing? This reflects the actions of the world today. In some case's no punishment!
WHY?WHY? How can daughter's conceive by their father?? It's not explained after Lot woke up. He didn't know his daughter's gave birth to his own children? Someone help me with this. Thank You. God Bless!

Amen, Jodie Pessolano!

Verse 16~Jehovah God showed great patience and loving kindness towards Lot when he kept lingering. It is better to obey God immediately and not procrastinate.

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.
