(Recall that Lot lived in pre-Mozaic, not to mention pre-Christian, times). Also, daughters were given in marriage be their parents. (The same then also applies to other acts of physical intimacy, not necessarily monogamous in nature, such as the one described in the aforementioned passage). | |

| Dec 21, 2012 at 3:00 | comment | added | Kazark | A wicked man offers his daughters to be raped. But the Bible speaks of many wicked people who do horrific things. So I'm not sure the point of the question. (The question could be strengthened by bringing a NT citation that calls him righteous. At that point you could tag it with contradiction.) | |

| Dec 11, 2012 at 22:21 | comment | added | Caleb | This has already been asked (here and here) on Christianity. I don't think the answers are very satisfactory but they do have some clues as to how Christians interpret the matter. | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 19:12 | comment | added | Jon Ericson | Hi John and welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics. I've edited the question a little and removed a parenthetical about the nature of God. (That bit might make a separate question, but since it's got a heavy doctrinal element, it's probably better for Christianity if it's not already been asked there.) I'm not 100% sure what you are asking in this question. Are you asking if offering daughters for rape is sanctioned by the text? Do you see some sort of contradiction? | |
