Chapter 1371 Biblical Stories
In the biblical story, Gomorrah and Sodom were destroyed because of their sin. One of the main reasons is the abnormal association of men in these two cities.
In the story, Jehovah and two of his angels came to Abraham's house and were treated with great hospitality. Before leaving, Jehovah asked Abraham about Gomorrah and Sodom, talked about the crimes there, and revealed his intention to destroy these two cities.
Faced with this intention, Abraham pleaded desperately, and finally got such a promise from Jehovah. That is, as long as there are ten good people in the city, he will not destroy the city.
Yahweh did not go to Sodom himself, but sent two angels there. At dusk, the angel arrived under the gates of Sodom, where he met Abraham's nephew Rod. Rhodes bowed and knelt down to them and invited them to be guests at home. The two angels are familiar with the etiquette in the world, so they politely declined like other passers-by. But Luo's repeated invitations were hard to turn down, and they could only agree to Rhodes' invitation in the end.
Rhodes was very happy, and ordered the maid to cook, baked cakes, and served them to the two guests. After the guests had eaten, Rhodes arranged places for them to sleep. But before the guests lay down, they heard noises outside. That was the whole city of Sodom, including the old and the young, besieging the house of Rhodes' house. They called Rhodes and asked him loudly.
"Where are the people who came to you this evening? Bring them out to us."
They asked for this because the two angels who came had become male, and the foreign male was exactly what they wanted.
Rhodes believed that it was the host's responsibility to protect the guests, so he went out, closed the door, and begged everyone outside.
"Brothers, please don't do such a bad thing. I have two daughters, who are still virgins. Let me bring them out to your disposal. But these two people have come to Shexia, so I beg you not to lay hands on them."
Those people were not interested in virgins, they were tired of playing with women, and only beautiful men could satisfy them, so they immediately booed loudly.
"Go back, go back. Rhodes, what are you doing protecting them? What kind of big shots are they? I scold you for allowing them to live in order to curry favor with them, or want to be an official! Be careful now that we will harm you later than later. Make them worse."
As they talked, they crowded Rhodes forward, trying to break through the door. Rhodes seemed to be unable to hold on. At this time, two visitors reached out from the door, pulled Rhodes into the room, and closed the door. Then the two angels did a little trick to make the eyes of the people outside the door, old and young, dizzy, and they couldn't find the location of the door after groping around. This frightened the thugs, who cried and scattered.
After everything calmed down, the two angels knew that Rhodes was a good person, so they told him their identities and the purpose of their trip. They ordered Rhodes to take his wife and daughter, plus two fiances, to leave quickly and find the ruined Sodom.
Rhodes believed what the guests said, but his two fiancés were smart enough to take the prophecy as a joke, saying that they didn't want to leave their hometown at all.
It was almost dawn, and it was time to leave. At this time Rhodes also hesitated. He procrastinated again and again, reluctant to leave. The two angels had no choice but to hold Rhodes and his wife and daughter by the hand and lead them out of the city gate. Then explain to them. "Run for your life! Don't look back, and don't stop on the plain, but run to the mountains, lest you too be destroyed."
Hearing this, Rhodes begged them.
"My lord! Do not do this. Your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have shown me great mercy and saved my life. But before I escape to the mountains, I am afraid that this disaster will befall me. I will die. You see, that city is small and close, and it is easy to escape. Please let me escape there, so that I can save my life!"
This city was later the city of Zoar, and Zoar means small.
The angel heard Rhodes' plea and said to him. "I promise you this too. I will not overthrow the city you mentioned. You must flee there quickly, because if you haven't arrived there, I can't do anything."
It was already mid-sun when Rhodes, his wife and their two daughters ran to Zoar panting. This is the Lord who spewed brimstone and fire from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah. In an instant, the intense flames scattered in all directions, but a black column of smoke shot straight into the sky, and then dispersed at a high altitude, forming a mushroom shape. Rhode's wife walked at the back, and when she heard a muffled sound, a sudden strong sense of curiosity made her forget the angel's warning, and couldn't help but look back. And this made her stiff all of a sudden, as if her skin had been soaked in sulfuric acid, it first turned white, then black, and then white again, and the whole body finally turned into a pillar of salt.
Abraham got up early in the morning and stood at the place where he had spoken to the Lord yesterday afternoon, looking towards Sodom, but he saw smoke rising from that place, as if it had been scorched. Seeing his wife's miserable death, Rhodes did not dare to live in the city of Zoar on the plain. He remembered that the angel told him that the mountain was safe, so he took the two women into the deep mountain.
This is the story in the Genesis of the Bible that the Lord God sent brimstone and fire to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. As someone who grew up in Eastern Europe, Victor naturally heard this story too. However, unlike most people there who firmly believed in this story, from the very beginning, he was full of doubts about this absurd story.
First of all, the biggest question is, what qualifications does God have to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Is it really because of gay men like the Bible says? You must know that today, quite a few countries have expressed their support for the issue of homosexuality, even saying that even the head of a country is gay. Destroying two cities just because of this crime is really a bit of a fuss. It even has some meanings that can demonstrate the authority of the so-called God.
Of course, you could also say it’s because of past disapproval of gay men. After all, many countries in Europe once banned this kind of behavior by law. It is even said that there is a precedent for the death penalty. But you know, this is the story of the Middle East. There are many ancient and peculiar customs there. Some ancient peoples even said that goats were used as a bar mitzvah. Derived from this custom, these problems are really nothing. Now when we travel, we all know that we must respect other people's customs and traditions. There is no reason for God to be an exception.
Of course, whoever let the Bible sing praises to Jehovah, of course he is entitled to make some exceptions. But even ignoring this point, there are still some loopholes.
For example, Rhodes' worship of angels. Doesn't it make people feel ridiculous to kneel down and worship the two angels without knowing their identities at the beginning? Especially when the people from Sodom came to ask him to hand over his two guests, he even said that he would hand over his two virgin daughters and let these people do whatever they wanted to protect his guests. This is even more unreasonable.
He doesn't even love his own family, his own flesh and blood, but loves the two guests whom he met for the first time. Apart from saying that these two daughters were born by the old Wang next door, the only reason that can stand is probably that Rhodes knew the identities of these two angels from the very beginning.
And if this is the case, then the statement that Rhodes is a good person is naturally untenable. If he was a good man, he could have told the whole city about the angel's visit. Even if he couldn't tell the whole city, telling ten people and finding ten people pretending to be good people was enough to protect his hometown.
But he didn't do that, instead he turned a deaf ear and only cared about saving his family's life. He even said that when his wife was killed, he didn't make any statement, and continued to be the so-called lamb of God as always. What can this kind of story show, that being the lamb of God honestly can survive, and that pretending to be a good person is also necessary?
It's ridiculous. It can be said that this story is simply ridiculous, like a joke full of loopholes made up by a bad novelist. No one with a long brain would believe such a ridiculous thing.
However, it is a pity that after so many years of worshiping God, they have already accumulated huge prestige. It is obviously such a ridiculous story, but there are so many people who regard it as the truth, turn a blind eye to the loopholes in it, and turn a deaf ear to it. It's all about treating this as a hymn to praise their so-called God.
This is just now, after the so-called God has completely retreated to King Ming in terms of faith, someone will dig up this old account and question these stories. Otherwise, I don't know how many fools will continue to believe this nonsense.
Yes, bullshit. As a person who knows the truth, Victor certainly knows that this so-called biblical Genesis story is simply a lie. Because the destruction of Gomorrah and Sodom was not like this at all, their destruction was related to a war.
That was when the belief in God was just rising in the land. As a new god, what he must do to grow stronger is to defeat his enemies and seize his own belief from those enemies. At that time, besides the old gods, the biggest enemies he faced were the devils in hell.
Since ancient times, there are not a few people who worship the devil. In this land, Gomorrah and Sodom are the two cities that worship the devil the most. What they believe in is Mephisto, and for Mephisto, this is the base camp of his hell power in the world.
Jehovah has chosen this land as the foundation of his own development, and of course it is impossible for him to allow Mephisto to sleep soundly on the side of his couch. For the same reason, Mephisto is the same. There was inevitably a conflict between them, and the final result of this conflict was that Gomorrah and Sodom completely sank under the earth, and Mephisto and Yahweh also became sworn enemies.
Mephisto is a loser, he has lost his greatest capital in the world. But for Victor, this kind of failure also has the value of waste utilization. And that's why he came here now. ()
