QUESTION: Did Lot’s daughters become his wives after they committed adultery with him?
ANSWER: No! From II Peter 2:7-8, we read that Lot was a righteous man who hated the lifestyle of the wicked! For him to take his two daughters to wife would be to live in a lifestyle that he hated. As well, he would have violated God’s Word. “None of you shall approach to any that is near kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord” (Leviticus 18:6). It is also clear from Genesis 19:30- 36, that Lot did not want to be involved in such a sin, but rather it was born in the hearts of his two daughters who first enticed their old father to become drunken! Surely this account of ungodliness ought to make each of us more aware of the folly and sin of using alcoholic beverages.
