The episode is descriptive, not prescriptive. Lot comes across in the Soddom narrative as weak in the face of the Sodomite culture.Hiraethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745527476050999805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1163901997982548012006-11-18T21:06:00.000-05:002006-11-18T21:06:00.000-05:00Admittedly I'm too lazy to go look up the passage ...Admittedly I'm too lazy to go look up the passage at the moment... but the story of Lot, his daughters, the angelic visitors, etc, even have a remotely prescriptive flavor to it? That is to say, Scripture can simply say what happened in a particular event. It doesn't necessarily have to pronounce a moral judgment on every instance of sin, when that's not the particular passage of a given story.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the objection might be made that this clearly indicates that Lot is not a righteous man, but, OTOH, neither is anyone else in and of himself. Declarations that so-and-so is righteous (Noah, for example, or Job) are all understood in a covenantal context, and ultimately in the context of the righteousness of Another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
