BLOG 13 ...: A Judge Who Always Does What Is Right Part II

. . . This is the continuation of blog post #12
By the fact that Abraham kept asking Jehovah the number of people in which Jehovah would retain his wrath against Sodom and Gomorrah would raise the question: Was Abraham arguing with Jehovah? Of course not! That would have been the height of arrogance. While reading the account, Abraham’s tone reflected due reverence and humility. He referred to himself as mere dust and ashes. Four times he respectfully said “please”. Further more, Abraham’s words revealed his confidence in Jehovah’s fairness. The idea that God would destroy the righteous along with the wicked would be, and is, unthinkable. Abraham said this not once but twice. The faithful patriarch voiced his convection that the judge of all the earth would do what is right in all situations. This is clear when reading Genesis 18:25 and quotes “And it is unthinkable of you that you are acting in this manner to put to death the righteous men with the wicked one so that it has to occur with the righteous men as it does with the wicked! It is unthinkable of you. Is the Judge of all the earth not going to do what is right?” Now, was Abraham correct in the things he said??? . . . To be continued.
