		<description><![CDATA[Lot, or anyone, Old or New Testament were considered righteous because of their faith in God, not because they were &quot;good&quot; people. Lot is a perfect example of every born-again Christian - none of us deserve to be saved, but God still reached down in His infinite grace and saved us anyway.

I believe that all anyone needs to do to find God is sincerely seek Him. God doesn&#039;t expect us to be righteous, that&#039;s why He sent Jesus to die for our sins. If we had already been righteous enough to go to heaven and live with God then the Messiah would never have needed to set foot on the earth.

		<description><![CDATA[Traditional Jews understand that there were two components to the revelation at Mount Sinai---a written revelation (the written Torah, i.e the Pentetuch) and an oral explanation of the written text.  By way of analogy the written text is somewhat comparable to notes that a student takes in a class which calls to mind the entirety of the lecture. If one who did not attend the lecture were to read the students notes, he would not fully comprehend the meaning behind those notes and might come to grossly misinterpret them. Similarly if one reads the  Written Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy) without the background of the Oral Torah, they are not going to even begin to really understand the intent of the text and will most likely completely misinterpret the meaning. All of the citations that you have given above are classic cases in point..  No educated Jew would presume to read the Torah superficially and literally and then proceed to act upon it. If you are truly interested in learning more there are many excellent scriptures with commentary and many qualified teachers available.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bible is a collection of allegories and parables (with some elements loosely based on actual historical events) designed, in part, to provide answers for people who asked questions about matters which they could not yet comprehend and to provide guidelines for expected moral behavior as determined by the religious order of the time … 100% from the minds and hands of a series of mere mortals, not God.

		<description><![CDATA[Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Mark 5:17)

Jesus was a Jew who followed Jewish law and the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.

If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars in the sky, and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5)

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why Frontpage Mag shouldn&#039;t talk about the Bible.


If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.(Leviticus 20:13)

Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. (Numbers 31:17-18)

If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known, some of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. But you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. And all Israel shall hear and fear and never again do any such wickedness as this among you. (Deuteronomy 13:6-11)

When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve read the passage many times and read it similar as the liberal.  I went back and ready many Christian commentaries on it and not one of them had the same interpretation as Daniel Greenfield.   As much as I wish you could, I don&#039;t see how you can fault the liberal?   I think Daniel Greenfield&#039;s interpretation (which probably comes from a Rabbi)  is reading into the verse something that is not there.    Woman were not thought highly in that culture and hospitality was thought very highly.  Maybe lot panicked.  Maybe he knew they wouldn&#039;t agree and it would give him more time.  He apparently knew the men were from God so who knows.  One of those hard bible passages]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The show offer would not work unless the other side had some decency left or some fear breaking community standards (nominal or otherwise).  They would call Lot&#039;s bluff.


Then again there is a story in &quot;Charlie Wilson&#039;s War&quot; told by some SAS commandos. They witness Mujaheddin cornholing a Russian prisoner.  Yet one of these same people gave their life to save their guests, the commandos. by diverting the attention of a Russian Hind (p 198).

&quot;Honor, Hospitality, Revenge&quot;

Maybe it is like the old vampire myths.   The vampire cannot enter you home.  But if you invite him in, he can cross the threshold.  The same might apply here.  If the townspeople looking for something fresh, something strange, they invited the guests to come out and join them.  But what they would not do is break the tradition.

Also the townspeople had not devolved so much to consider outright r_pe or m_rder.  So they feared Lot&#039;s revenge.

Sure Lot might give up his daughter to protect his guests to defuse the immediate criss.  It does not mean that he would not now have a grudge that he would feel honor bound to fulfill and have no compunction out about executing his erstwhile townfolk.

Why Lot is not popular and no one is named after him is not because of his conduct in town but out of town.  If his conduct after fleeing was as good as in town, they would be naming children after him.
