		CHIVALRY IN BIBLE...?

     	Among the more incredible Bible morality 
tales is the one involving Lot and the two visiting 
angels. Lot invited the two angels to "...turn in, I pray 
you into your servant's house, and tarry all night, 
and wash your feet...And he pressed them greatly; 
and they turned in unto him, and entered into his 
house; and he made them a feast...But before they 
lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, 
compassed the house round, both old and young, 
all the people from every quarter: 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."(Genesis 19:1-5--
--the Hebrew 'yada' translated 'know', is a euph-
emism for 'sexual intercourse').

     	And why did the townsfolk think the two 
angels were candidates for group homosexual activity? 

	The answer is provided in the New Testament's 
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, 
but left their own habitation...Even as Sodom and 
Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, 
giving themselves over to fornication, and going 
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example..."
(Jude 6-7). In effect, this pastoral letter reveals 
that the two angels were themselves homosexuals. 

	Although this text is highly obscured, the 
sense of it is that angels were familiar to the towns-
folk for the very purpose that they insisted upon, 
the opportunity to "...know them...".

     	Righteous Lot was properly appalled. So he 
stepped outside and pleaded with the townsfolk 
"...do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two 
daughters which have not known man; Let me, I 
pray you, bring THEM out unto you, and do ye with 
them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men 
do nothing...But they pressed sore upon Lot, and 
came near to break the door..."(Genesis 19:6-9). 

	Perhaps not very gallant or chivalrous on 
Lot's part, it was certainly the lesser of the two 
possible evils. After all, the two angels were males, 
whereas Lot's two daughters were merely females.

     	As it turned out, the two angels were good 
angels, and not the bad homosexual angels the 
townsfolk were obviously familiar with. They proceed 
to blind the townsfolk, and remove Lot and his family 
prior to the destruction of the city. 

	Later Lot, clearly a heterosexual himself, has 
sexual intercourse with his two daughters and "Thus 
were BOTH the daughters of Lot with child by their 
father."(Genesis 19:36). And so Lot, a man 
considered "...just...that righteous man...godly..."
(2 Peter 2:7-9) lived out his life as one of God's 
favorites, one of the great Bible patriarches.

	Ain't the Bible just THE GREATEST 
toilet full of divinely condoned immoral tales!!!!!
