THIS PARTICULAR "LESSON" suggested by one of the BIBLE STUDY Members "C.K."
Genesis 18:23-33
Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing - to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Abraham asked God 5 more times, asking if there were 45 people found, or 40 people found, or 30 people found, or 20 people found, or even as little as 10 people found, would he destroy the whole city. Each time God responded "I will not destroy if any were found". (See Gen 18: 24-33) The end result? The city was destroyed, completely.
So that we should know the reasons for God doing this :
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly; 2 Pet. 2:6
