10 And he (speaking in the name of God, BD) said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
God, again, following the three men, repeats his message from Genesis 17, so Abraham is sure these men were sent by God.
But Sarah had not yet heard the message from God to Abraham. She now hears this for the first time from God through the three men.
This is God's earlier message to Abraham:
15 And God said unto Abraham: As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name
16 And I will bless her, and give her also a son of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of the people shall be hers.
Genesis 18 proceeding:
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
16 And the men (the three angels in disguise, BD) rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Peradventure (perhaps, possibly) there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis
Chapter 19
1 And there came two angels (maybe other individuals, but now identified as angels, BD) to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city (the homosexuals), even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Assumption 651: The moral inequality of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The Bible is based on monotheism from a heterosexual god and a religion founded on inbreeding. In monotheism, heterosexual males are considered subjects, while 'other sexual roles' are seen as objects. Heterosexual males do not learn empathy with other sexual roles that are suppressed in their unconscious.
In Sodom and Gomorrah, homosexuals challenge two men (recognizable as angels, BD) from the house of Lot to sexual intercourse with the intention 'to know them'. But homosexuals are but objects without any moral position to challenge these heterosexual subjects.
On the other hand, Lot, who is a heterosexual subject himself, offers his virgin daughters (objects) to the homosexuals (objects), who besiege his house, thereby trying to convert them to heterosexuality.
The Important rule above is that in monotheism subjects possess all power over objects and objects are powerless. Daughters are the possession of fathers who can Impose cousin marriages on them or give them away to homosexuals.
The conclusion is that the guests (the angels) in the house of Lot can refuse and actually do, while the fate of the daughters of Lot is extremely uncertain. They may even be killed. And that means that for Sodom and Gomorrah the reverse morality should have applied. Lot himself should have been changed in a salt pillar.
9 And they (the homosexuals, BD) said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came (angel in doorway, BD) in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee (Lot, BD), than with them (the angels, BD). And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men (two angels. BD) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they (the angels) smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
12 And the men (angels, BD) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters (?), and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters (?), which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men (two angels, BD) laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters (!); the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
The two daughters apparently had intended to be married
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
This is an abhorrent example of an inbreeding and incest culture, which is disgusted by women. This is written by sick men.
38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Conclusion: The real undertone here is that there was homosexual activity in Sodom and Gomorrah without God realizing it. And since homosexuality is the second sexual role and thus the second God, acknowledged in the conscious would amount to polytheism, the death knell for their faith.
In addition, bipedal primates have historically been threatened by fertility stress. because great apes naturally have too few offspring to live permanently on the ground. And homosexuality is no boost to overcome fertility stress in inbreeding cultures based on monotheism.
