He is a man of God, this boggles my mind... And also how could Lots daughters use their own father to get offspring and make him drunk first?

Angels What a "coincidence" I happened to be reading and pondering this same thing last night. Maybe we should look even closer at this. Perhaps our FATHER is trying to tell us something?

Â Makes no sense to me. Â Someone once gave me an explanation of how his daughter's offspring became some significant group of people but I still didn't get it and to offer them to the wicked men--makes no sense! Anybody out there have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read here in a Bible commantary that Lot was a just man, but had become worldly and he lost his testemony 2 Peter2:7-8-14 And his daughters they have been influenced by Sodom's vile standards. God saved Lot and his daughters because of Abrahams prayers, if Abraham didn't pray ,would God still have saved them? Angels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham and Sarah disobeyed GOD by him having intercourse with Hagar and making Ishmael. However, GOD says he will bless him and make him a great nation. But... when GOD speaks of himself, he says I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob... he doesn't say.. Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob.. Also, why does he "mark" Cain?

Maybe Lot was shown to be a sinner but saved by his faith in God and the help of Abraham's prayers, despite his sin, to point to us being saved by the prayers of Jesus (?)

Cain was not pleasing the Lord ,I believe that it was because of the sacrifice he brought to the Lord, he should have brought a blood offering instead of fruits and vegtables. He substituted the bloodoffering. Abel 's offering point to the death of Christ who takes away the sins of this world. God marked Cain as sign for protection,so nobody would kill him. Your thoughts about this? Love in Christ,Angels Do you want to start a little Bible course where we discuss one person from the bible at the time and go more indept? Keeps us reading the Bible!!
