| 1 | Was Lot selfish or greedy? | Gen 13:10 | Marcus E. | 42876 | ||
| When Lot chose the valley of the Jordan after Abram allowed him the option in genesis 13:11, do you think he was being selfish or greedy? Or rather excepting an offer of inheritence from his uncle? |

| 2 | Was Lot selfish or greedy? | Gen 13:10 | Scribe | 42877 | ||
| Genesis 13:10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered" Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise... 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. It seems that the desire in the heart of Lot was that of worldly comfort and ease. It is true that Lot was called righteous but I am sure that he would have been more pleasing to God if he had said " I cannot dwell in the midst of the hellish place and vex my righteous soul, before he went in rather than after he had to come out. And even when see him pleading with God to be allowed to go in to Zoar (which means little) reveals that he still had a little of that desire for worldly comforts. Finally in Zoar he has had enough, he sees things as they are and flees that wicked place. Later his daughter get him so drunk he blacks out, so he still has a way to go. But eventually he has this testimony.. "he was a righteous man." Praise God for forgetting those things which are behind and calling us righteous by faith. |
