    tbf, isn’t the whole point of the bible to show terrible stories as bad examples?
    like aren’t you supposed to draw your own conclusions or whatever from it?
    idk i never read it, just know the basic overview of some stuff.

      That is very incorrect.

      In this story of Lot, he was supposed to be the example of hospitality and showing goodness to God’s angels.

      Deuteronomy 22: 28-29. If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

      Very holy. Very jeezus.
