May 29, 2014 --- Genesis 19 – The sin of Sodom and its subsequent Judgement

Read Genesis 19

- V1-3, why do you think Lot was so insistant on the visitors staying at his house?

- V5, does this verse reveal the problem which the angels came to judge?...or do you think it was a symptom of a bigger problem?

- Was the wickedness shown toward the two visitors with regard to homosexuality, rape, or inhospitality?

- V8, isn’t Lot’s offer of two daughters a crazy thing to do?...do you think the Bible includes this as a good thing, or as an example of human stupidity ?...is it affirming to know that the Bible does not attempt to hide such mistakes made by characters such as Lot ?

- V9, having been denied the male visitors, and having rejected the virgin daughters, the men of the city now want Lot!

- V14, even within the family unit not everyone heeded the urgent warning – does this happen today with regard to our eternal Judgement ?
