I just got a brand new bible from my local church for free, it is a nice hard cover study Bible (NLT version). I re-read that passage and since it had commentary I decided I wanted to post for anyone who was interested.
In this pitiful sequel to the story of the destruction of Sodom, we see two...
ya I am going to talk with the pastor on Thursday and visit a bible study group today. but ya I am sorry this was posted here. I originally put it here but no response so I put it in the denominations thread and I got a better outcome.
you are all welcome to keep posting but for the most part I...
o well come on. I mean he is responsible for that yes, but I'm sure he wasn't thinking " I don't know if I should drink all this my daughters might rape me!" YA right.
thank you all for the help, I think it is up to me to lead my way, but all your posts helped a lot. After I speak with the pastor and read more into the bible I will re-post my progress
I wouldn't say lot was impatient and faithless, his daughters got him so drunk he didnt know what was happening, it isn't his fault. Plus he did what the angels said and ran without looking back.
To add what made the daughters think the world ended anyway? Cause Lot said to spare the village...
Well several pages after that the situation isn't addressed by god and the lord does not speak with Lot or his daughters. So is incest not a sin might be a better question?
I have only just started reading the bible and am about 20 pages, so keep that in mind.
I just read in Genesis 19 : Lot and His Daughters, that his daughter get him drunk and have sex with him to get pregnant and so far there has been no comment by god against that act.
So is incest ok?
thank you again for a great post. I have thought for quite some time about why I want to find God and am sure this is what I must do for myself. The church will definitely help in many ways for me seeing as I am new, plus the people I will meet is priceless.
I replied to this post but for some reason it isn't appearing, so I will reply again.
I really enjoyed reading that article and thought it was very interesting. Though one thing I want to ask is... going to church certainly cannot hurt, correct? I mean you are going for spiritual guidance and...
thanks for all the replies. I started to pray and am reading more from the bible. It feels good so far, but again I wonder what denomination is right for me?
I have never really been a person of any faith, born into orthodoxy but family hardly practices at all (went to church a few times). I am currently looking towards an organized religion to better myself seeing as life seems to put me down all the time, I want to find some answers.
