Welcome to part nineteen in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literally
You see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.
In this episode Lot gets a couple of visitors and Sodom gets nuked.
There's no more simple way of summarising the episode than that, but of course, it's never as simple as that. Was Lot really the most righteous and virtuous man in all the cities of the plain and if he was, just how unrighteous and unvirtuous did you have to be to be worse than Lot and his daughters?
Of course we all know the story but what were the true identities of Lots visitors and what was their mission?
---NOTE---
Ok this episode is longer than usual, mainly because this chapter is 38 verses instead of the usual 20 to 25. I did consider splitting it into two parts but that just makes things complicated. Don't worry though; we are back to normal length episodes next week
