"God picked you because you were a loser"

Got this iPad app called Glo Bible. Doing a prepared plan to read the whole Bible in one year. Read about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah this morning, then the part about Lot’s daughters getting him drunk and having sex with him. Expected that God would come slap up those silly hos, but He didn’t. I hope that scene is in there at some point. Just seems to me that incest is far more immoral than orgies and whatever other sexual impropriety. And apparently it was okay for Abraham to commit adultery, maybe because his wife suggested it(?). Confused. I’ll be praying for clarity on this.

At the end of July, I posted to Facebook about incest in the Book of Genesis. I wondered why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah but didn’t punish Lot’s daughters, and said I would pray for clarity on this. Well, Pastor Rob Ketterling mentioned the story in his sermon this weekend at River Valley Church, along with several other examples of less-than-stellar behavior in the Bible.
