Lot's Lingering Legacy - Genesis 11-19 - Skip Heitzig

Some names summon noble thoughts. Other names evoke cautionary feelings. Lot is in the second category. Though he had everything he needed for spiritual success, his priorities were clearly fixed in the temporary pleasures of this life. Though the New Testament calls him righteous (see 2 Peter 2:7) because of his simple faith, his life could have been so much more. As it stands, Lot’s best years were squandered and fruitless.

The power of choice I realize that I wasted my life but I did not know any better, I was not a believer then if I had heard this teaching I would have a better life as a Christian since I was around 8yrs old I was seeking for truth with no one to help me thank God for this lesson.

Not a bad teaching, but unless I missed something, he missed the most obvious point that Lot was NEVER supposed to go with Abraham in the first place. God clearly instructed Abraham to leave his family behind. Lot caused a lot of trouble, obviously.

Your talking about stuff what I used to do is move every 6 months to a year then by the time I had 3 children I'd (room by room) move everything out to the lawn leave what to get rid of in the storage shed and when I was done I'd send my husband and the kids to the zoo while I had a yard sale 😁 tee-hee

This is from Mark Ivey:

Sodom's Judges

"In examining Jewish rabbinical literature, the Talmud and Midrash contain oral traditions, exegesis of Torah texts and homiletic stories that give us insight into Jewish and biblical history. They are reliable sources to gain additional understanding and knowledge of Jewish thought and truth.

"One of the teachings refers to the Judges of Sodom, (Genesis 19) who historically were named Kaz-sheker (greatest liar), Rab-sheker (master of lies), Rab-nabel, (master of turpitude), Rab-masteh Din (chief perverter of the law), and Kelepandar (forger). (1) These judges had enforced laws that were oppressive to the poor, sexually permissive and resulted in a society where justice and legal sense were ignored to accommodate the desires of a ruling few. This resulted in a chaotic culture where historical and biblical accounts record an 'upside down' civilization, with the weak exploited by the rich and powerful."
