Bible Discussion Thread

I don't understand why the daughter's did not get punished for their sin? What am I missing? This reflects the actions of the world today. In some case's no punishment!
WHY?WHY? How can daughter's conceive by their father?? It's not explained after Lot woke up. He didn't know his daughter's gave birth to his own children? Someone help me with this. Thank You. God Bless!

God is a fair judge. In today's world you hear of people doing bad things and 'getting away with it', at least temporarily. They will be judged accordingly. I don't believe anyone gets by with anything. Romans 2:6-11. Also, just because the Bible doesn't describe something doesn't mean something 'didn't happen'. For example, no one in the Bible is described as using the restroom, but we can assume they did. Likewise, you can read several stories without reading about them eating or sleeping, so we shouldn't assume they didn't, because that was omitted. Likewise, just because it doesn't say the daughters were punished doesn't mean they weren't.

I am asking the same question! I think it's crazy that nothing happens to the daughters and it just skips to the next chapter.

"Lot made his way to the mountains, and abode in a cave, stripped of all for which he had dared to subject his family to the influences of a wicked city. But the curse of Sodom followed him even here. The sinful conduct of his daughters was the result of the evil associations of that vile place. Its moral corruption had become so interwoven with their character that they could not distinguish between good and evil. Lot's only posterity, the Moabites and Ammonites, were vile, idolatrous tribes, rebels against God & the bitter enemies of His people" Patriarchs & Prophets p. 167

sometimes it don't tell what happened to those that did wrong. I'm sure they were punished because you don't hear about them after they sinned except for the the sons that they had.
