Day 7 Genesis 18-19

So I know I haven't done the past couple of days and that is simply because I didn't have much to say and I found the quality of what I was trying to write very poor. So I have decided do to the time it takes to go through these and such that I will be reading every day but only posting on the days that I really have some discussion to contribute which isn't the worst idea. So here we are day 7 and Sodom and Gomorrah are in trouble.

One day as Abraham is chilling at the entrance to his tent The Lord comes to him and Abraham sees three men (God/Jesus, and two angels) and he rushes to them and says if I am truly your servant and you have found favor in me let me get you water and food and you can wash your feet and rest. They tell him go ahead and he runs and tells his wife (in the kitchen, good wife Sarah) to bake bread and he brings a good cow to the servant to be prepared and then he stands near them and watches them eat under the tree.
The Lord then ask him about his wife and tells him that when He returns in a year He will give Sarah a child and eavesdropping on the conversation Sarah laughs and when God asks Abraham did she just laugh she lies...to the Lord....got some guts there.
Then as They walk off toward Sodom God kind of ask Himself and I guess His angels, should I tell Abraham what I am about to do? And He decides to and He says Sodom and Gomorrah's sin is so great that I must go down to see if it is truly this bad (guess God is sending Jesus to scout out just in case the place is worth saving)
Then the angels leave (we figure out where they go in a minute) and Jesus is left standing with Abraham and Abraham says Lord, would you destroy the bad and the good? Will you not show mercy, what if 50 people are found who are good.

At this point I stopped for a minute and said wait...50, that's not many but this is an old town so I looked up the population and I couldn't find much finite stuff but what I did find said somewhere between 600-1200 people. So even with 600 people we are saying if %12 percent of the population is good we will spare the city and apparently this city is awful OK. So God agrees, hold on if its 1200 we realize that's %6 percent...OK basic math, anyway God agrees and Abraham basically says but wait I know you are God and all but what if just maybe we negotiated this down to 10 people which is eventually what we end up at and God agrees. So I am boggled by both here, I mean God has always been merciful and forgiving to everyone but Abraham is trying to save them, I wonder why? So I drew a blank and now I'm questioning if my math at the top is even right but now the percent is even less OK? And God agrees to not destroy the city if he can find 10 decent people.

The angels have made it to Sodom and Lot treats them as Abraham did, taking them inside and making them food and before the night is over all the men of Sodom are at Lots doors asking for the men. The reason? They want to have sex with them, I now see why God wants to destroy it and wonder even more why He wouldn't for the sake of 10. So Lot trying to protect the angels says no take my daughters instead and the angels are like seriously dude BOOM they are all blind now that that's over with. Then they lead Lot and any of his family out of the city and tell him to flee to the mountains and don't look back and Lot (who must be lazy) says wait can't we just go to this town that's close and they say sure we won't hit that town. So they flee and God destroys the cities with burning sulfur,OW! and then Lots wife looks back and she becomes salt...wait what. Its one simple verse at the end of the section and the bible has it there pretty insignificantly, its like O ya and by the way one of the morons did look back and she got turned into a pillar of salt. So they next morning Abraham wakes up and is like lets go look at this lovely view and all he sees is smoke on the plain. (my agent said I could always see the sunrise)

What surprises me looking back which this isn't mentioned again, but God didn't find 10 decent people and that makes me wonder if that is why He agreed with Abraham, maybe He knew there was no chance there would be 10 good people I mean some random guys come to town and they want to have sex with them so that's awful.

To top off this wonderful story Lot and his daughters settle in a cave and to perserve the family line they get him drunk and both sleep with him and have Moab and Ben-Ammi the fathers of the Moabites and Ammonites. Let me point out the Bible makes sure to let you know that Lot had no way of knowing what was going on so he is in the clear.
