Re: choices

Didn't Lot chose his path towards sin? Didn't he chose his path towards Sodom; even though, knowing that the people were committing sins?

But he was clearly of another character than Sodomites. He was in Sodom but not of Sodom. He may have thought that he could live among the sinners without himself sinning. And going for what happens later, it seems he was able to thus far.

The Sodom & Gomorrah story is more about getting second chances. Even though if you were lead astray, God would give you another chance.

And also that God will spare the righteous. There's no reason for going all the effort to save Lot and his family except sparing the righteous for what they didn't commit. That's a standard of due process that ashames modern governments.
