[32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
[33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

The Bible is the word of people. It is superstitious myth based mostly on older superstitious myths.

For one, it relies upon on what church you pass to. no longer each and every church follows the same ideals or have the same teachings, regardless of in the event that they are Christian churches. a million Corinthians 11: 3- 10 provides a woman permission to communicate in church in the event that they have their head lined. It grow to be a rule given by using Paul because of the fact the church because of the fact they Christians in the church have been new Christians. In a million Corinthians 14:33-35 Paul replaced the regulations because of the fact the church grew to grow to be disorderly. there is not any passage that tells you to ignore approximately what's impossible in the society immediately. The Christians faith is a cafeteria style of existence, the place you could elect to maintain on with one rule and ignore approximately the different. As I reported till now, no longer each and every church adheres to the regulations. those everybody is declared as fake brethren (2 Corinthians 11:13)

If you read on, later in the bible, Ezra was bummed out because she knew this type of thing (that which was done by Lot and his older daughter whose children became Moabites) was punishable by God:
Ezra 9:
1. "The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the neighboring peoples with their detestable practices, like those of the ... Moabites.... 2 They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons..."
Also, if you read on in the bible, the Lord brought his wraith upon the Ammonites (which came from the children of Lot and his younger daughter):
Judges 11: 32 Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands. 33 He devastated twenty towns from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith, as far as Abel Keramim. Thus Israel subdued Ammon.
This is why its best to read on in the bible 'cuse if take stuff like this out of context, you may miss the true meaning.
The Lord showed us that stuff in Genesis only to show us later on how it was punishable to them folks that do it!

Why is it that some people, when they read a biblical account of something that someone did, think that the described behavior is a command to Christians to do the same?? By that logic, Christians should crucify Christ, because the Bible describes the event.

Yes, the bible was given to the authors who wrote it inspired by God's holy spirit. That doesn't mean everything in the bible was condoned by God, dear.
The bible is also the history of the nation of Israel. Like most history, it contains good and bad, sin and virtue. It reports on who did what...and people often did not do what was pleasing to God. We learn not only by good examples, but by poor choices.

If you are infering that this story of Lot and his daugters are examples of what God wants from his followers, then you have a rather unusual outlook on the Bible. You would also have us believe that we are to kill our brother as Cain killed his...yes?
This passage like many others are part of the story of what happened to individuals and is to be read as a historical account....not as a command from God.

Have you read the chapter in its entirety? This will provide accurate knowledge to you. You do your homework on this so that "YOU" will come to attain accurate knowledge -- in full, not in part.
What else does the Bible say before this and after? Why are you asking this forum this question when you should be reading the Bible and praying for accurate knowledge as you read it?

Just where does the bible advise anyone to do this? Just because something is recorded in the bible doesn't mean it's approved of.

You've taken this passage out of context. This is not advisement. Your motive is impure.

Thanks for taking things out of context for us! We're all too dumb to misinterprete the bible ourselves!
