I take tremendous pride in being supported by the direct hand of God not only in my business but in my efforts here to see him every day to have him give me the answers and knowledge I have been given access to. no where I use it or not is sometimes on me, but the support is there. and further more I will be here so long as God supports me. because I have personally ot desire to stand against the tide. I do it because I have been empowered to do so, and nothing you can say or do will change that. Only god shifting me into another role can do this. I will stand this post till I am relieved.
Please then, go take a shit, and relieve yourself.

But we only see a small glimpse of Lot's life. 2 Peter's author makes assumptions that Lot died forgiven because he knew of the forgiveness of Jesus and understood the time before the Law. There is no contradiction. If you see one please be specific. As it says in Romans All have sinned and fall short. If you'd like me to keep it in the OT then:
1 Kings 8:46
"When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
Ecclesiastes 7:20
Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.
If you'd like it in the same book then:
Genesis 6:12
God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
There was no Lot, no Noah, no Abraham, no Moses, no Exodus. They are ALL mythical.
The very best Israeli archaeologists have concluded (and they have the most to gain by NOT concluding this) ... virtually ALL the OT "patriarchal" literature is myth, and there is no evidence at all for their historicity. None.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
