Skeptics view of Genesis
#9
RE: Skeptics view of Genesis
Quote:Why did Lot have to reason with the Angels that he could not make it to the Mountains again this does not make any sense?
try a different version ESV:

18 But Lot said to the two men, “Sirs, please don’t force me to run so far! 19 You have been very kind to me, your servant. You have been very kind to save me, but I cannot run all the way to the mountains. What if I am too slow and something happens? I will be killed! 20 Look, there is a very small town near here. Let me run to that town. I can run there and be safe.”

21 The angel said to Lot, “Very well, I’ll let you do that. I will not destroy that town. 22 But run there quickly. I cannot destroy Sodom until you are safely in that town.” (That town is named Zoar,[b] because it is a small town.)


Quote:The angel then says he cannot do anything to Sodom until Lot gets to it? But yet the angel also told him to hurry which lead Lot to reason with him? (PARADOX?)
No. The angel did not want anyone else to leave or enter the doomed city

Quote: How do they know its Sulphur?
sulphur has a very distinct smell (Farts)

Quote: Why did God destroy Gomorrah? The angels did not mention it until after the fact?
Neighboring cities back then had to live in Harmony, meaning they had to have similar customs/social views.

Quote: Why did God destroy innocent children and animals? Oh yeah that’s right because he likes it!
Who would care for them? is it not better that they return to a loving Father, than live as orphans that would eventually starve to death?

Quote: No one said that looking back would turn someone to a pillar of salt!
They were all told not to look back.

Quote:Even so much that how did they know anything happened to the Cities if no one could see?
27 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and went to the place where he stood before the Lord. 28 Abraham looked down into the valley toward the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. He saw clouds of smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

Quote: Why sulfur that surely wouldn’t burn anything unless the oxygen is heated?
Sulfur melts to a blood red liquid form @ 250*F and then burns @ 1500*F It also does not need oxygen to burn.

Quote:Why is lot now afraid of staying in Zoar?
He does not want to go back to living in tents, he likes city life.

Quote:So Incest is also OK in the bible?
no. Lot lived in a time where God's law was not written down yet.

Genesis 20

Quote: Yet again Abraham using Deception what the fuck?
Still does not trust God completely yet.

Quote:God yet again punished Abimelech that is fucked up.
Only if He did not do what He was told.

Quote: God highlights he can keep people from sinning.
where?

Quote: God says that if he does not Give Abrahams wife back that Abimelech will die? And he has to apologise to Abraham!
Yes. Because the fear being if he knew Sarah was married he would have killed Abraham.

Quote: Abraham confirms Sarah is his wife and his sister? Yet at the same time previously Abraham says to Sarah when entering Egypt to pretend she is his sister?  Abimelech gave Abraham stuff for lying?
where does it say that?
