Being righteous does not protect you from making stupid, irrational choices.

Lot is the perfect example of the lukewarm compromiser who thinks a middle ground could be achieved between a distinct good and distinct evil. It's like trying to decide whether murder or torture is good for the family you're protecting in your house. For Lot's case, it's even worse. The police (the two angels) are already there behind his back. GET OUT OF THERE SON!

Fortunately, the angels took him back into the house and did the work for him.

Get some wisdom like Solomon when you're in stressful situations and try not to surround yourself in corrupt company. Be like David when met Goliath. He didn't ponder whether he should let this Nephilim giant take one quarter of Israel whilst David and his friends could own the rest. This seems right in the eyes of man but David, relying on God's power, attacked the problem straight through.

"(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)"—2 Peter 2:8. If you're trapped in Satan's territory, don't just sit and relax. RUN and FIGHT BACK. Don't let your mind succumb!

Thus, Lot's mistakes are heralded as clear examples of how we're not meant to act. Whoever thought God condoned everything Lot, or any other sinner in the Bible saved or unsaved, did must be on drugs. Get discernment. There's a reason why God is called a Teacher. The good and bad are both revealed and taught.

Being righteous does not protect you from making stupid, irrational choices.

Let's take our mind ourselves away from Sodom and Gomorrah and imagine ourselves on a sinking ship. You are a passenger who accessed the last lifeboat. The lifeboat you are on is overcrowded. Suddenly, you see a group of thrashing men in the water trying to grab onto the lifeboat. The lifeboat shakes, frightening everybody and you fear that you are going to die.

Soon, someone in your lifeboat points out that these men have no good intentions and are greedily shaking your lifeboat, so that everyone onboard could be thrown off and drown and thus, they can take over the lifeboat themselves. You, in your utmost foolishness, believe that these men should deserve pity, since, like everybody else on the sinking ship, they are about to die. Just like Lot, who believed the would-be rapists of Sodom and Gomorrah needed "sexual relief" with his attractive daughters in order to be rehabilitated, in effect becoming the worst caricature of a bleeding-heart liberal that die-hard tough-on-crime conservatives love to despise.

So you decide to make room for these men, just to save day, even though by doing so, you achieve the opposite. You grab hold of your only partner, and you decide to throw him/her overboard, because you think that they wouldn't feel any pain dying. They're just adults and adults are disposable. Maybe they're taking too much room. Maybe they're just fat. You're sure that's it no big deal. At least the person isn't disabled or young.

That's exactly what the situation with Lot trying to make the foolish offer with his daughters looks like. Fortunately, we can count all on the two wise angels to save Lot's ass and the rest of his family. You may have good intentions, but intentions do not always equate with outcomes. It's a tendency we're all guilty of really.

"(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)"—2 Peter 2:8. Bad company corrupts character so be careful of the situations you place yourself in. The mind is fascinatingly yet dangerously malleable.

Thus, Lot's mistakes are heralded as clear examples of how we're not meant to act. Whoever thought God condoned everything Lot, or any other sinner in the Bible saved or unsaved, did must be on drugs. Get discernment. There's a reason why God is called a Teacher.
