Judges 19 - Sickest story in the bible

quote:

---

Lot, attempts to pimp out his virgin daughters

---

Imagine what this man saw on a daily basis and what he endured from even within his own household. Have you ever needed to be resourceful to protect one thing or the other including yourself?
Much went into the making and breaking of this man. He could have walked away from it all abandoning his family. They were clearly enamored of the sin cities. (Twin cities, sin cities). Loads of tall tale tellers in the book.Genesis 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.I doubt they were virgins.Why is the bible not a moral guide? It gives great examples of what to do and not to do. Living in a sin city is a 'not to do', and that is true for our day.

Second, the bible says his daughters were virgins so they must have been.

Here is a link to Genesis 19. Or, simply google it.Genesis 19 (KJV) - And there came two angels - 71k -Abraham told pharaoh that Sarah was his sister, and so on and so on to a multitude of whoppers told by a multitude of unfortunate human beings doing what they thought they must. And so did Lot. He lied about his daughters. He thought he had to protect his visitors from the mob. Of course, it is possible they were married virgins, but not likely.
