Someone approached me a few days ago, attacking an entire demographic, homesexuals in this case, using the Bible as his justification. God says it’s evil and therefore homesexuality, and everything that goes with it including (of course) gay marriage, is equally evil. It says so right there in the Bible and since the Bible is the perfect word of God, it is the way it must be. In that case, sex with your daughters must be okay as well. It is, after all, the means by which Jesus Christ eventually came to save us all. Yes, incest is, Biblically speaking, the engine of your salvation.
Before you get angry at me for posting a story with this title, let me assure you that it’s perfectly okay. After all, my story comes from the Bible, the perfect word of God. And if God has no problem with the idea of a father impregnating his daughters, then who are you and I to question this? So read on, and make sure you have your children gathered around you as we share this reading from the Holy Bible. Please turn to Genesis, chapter 19. Verses 30 to 36.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.” 33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2 “My lords,” he said, “please turn aside to your servant’s house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,” they answered, “we will spend the night in the square.” 3 But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom —both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” 6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don’t do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof.”
And from this selfless act of prostituting his own daughters, the purported master of the universe decided that Lot was the one good man in the city. Maybe that’s why the daughters were so ready to hump Dad in his old age. Nothing says ‘good man’ like throwing your daughters out of the house to be raped by a horny crowd of miscreants. We wouldn’t want Lot’s guests to be inconvenienced.
There you have it. The Bible says rape and incest are okay with God.
Which takes us back to Jesus. The Bible states that the children that came from this relationship went on to father the Moabites and the Ammonites. King David, who would go on to unite the tribes of Israel and write a few Psalms, was a descendant of the Moabites. So, the entirety of Israel and the birthplace of Christianity, including Jesus Christ (purportedly a direct descendant of King David and therefore able to trace his ancestry to the Moabites), are the product of an incestuous relationship.
You are really projecting here along with hypothetical comments and guesses. Lot was a sinner if you didn’t know, so the comment one of the good ones was 100% wrong. Propaganda at its finest and it’s obvious you have a tiff and bias against Christianity. I’d recommend researching this story and any intellectual would take into account the culture and context of the story. Yes there are some hard things to read in the Bible, some that aren’t age appropriate. But hey we let kids watch rated R movies and PG13 movies when they aren’t age appropriate so who cares. I’ll be praying for you.
I love the fact that the Bible is truly a bad ass book that holds no prisoners. It shows all human emotions and actions, as ugly and as beautiful as they are. It’s full of sex and violence that we, today, find abhorrent as our governments have trained us that way. But who’s to say today’s politicians have it right and Yahweh had it wrong? Just because we’ve moved away from biblical standards, it doesn’t make those times bad, otherwise God, Himself, would have said they’re bad. Sometimes he does express disliking of things like homo stuff and divorce but, hey, He created the universe and everything in it so He has the right to pick and choose what He likes and doesn’t like. He says He’s coming back with His son, Yeshua (Jesus) to judge the living and the dead and righteous ones, (what He and His son deem righteous), can return to the new Garden of Eden in the forever state of the New Heavens and New Earth and never die like Adam and Eve were meant to. I’ve always been intrigued by that.
