Chapter 19:1-30 is a passage that details the accounts of the destruction of Sodom and the divine resque of the family Mr. Lot who was a nefhew of father Abraham. In this text Lot's wife who probably could arguably go down as one of the most famous characters in the bible perhaps because of the proverbial rhetoric "remember lot's wife". The context is simple which is Sodom was to be destroyed and anielated by God for reason of their wickedness but God gave an instruction that while Lot and his family were being resqued on no account should any of them look back but we all know the story Mrs. Lot for reasons best known to her convinced herself otherwise and looked back
Vs 26 "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt"
But interestingly, in vs 27-28 we see father Abraham looking at the same site that God said the other should not look at and when one did otherwise she became a pillar of salt doubles as meaning that she died.

Vs 27-28 "Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord, and he looked towards Sodom and Gomorrah, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a finance"
Itsn't amazing that what Abraham was looking at for Lot and his family was forbiden, does this pass a message?
It is that what could be sin to one could actually righteousness for another, is it possible that two christians or persons make the same mistake one is purnished with the blessed.

What was the difference between Abraham and Lot's wife?

Is this the latest scriptural manipulation from the oyakhilome cult? Sin is sin for everyone don't try and twist scripture and conjure up fallacies to justify sin.

good you have well spoken but next attempt try to narrow it towards the contextual concerns which is just in case you didn't get it-What is the difference between Abraham and Lot's wife?
Thank u

More than just the externals, God looks at the heart. We all see the external(don't look back, don't wear that, don't drink this, don't do those). The externals are very important, but they do not save us. We're not saved by works or theology. We're saved by grace through faith. The externals are actually produced, or should be produced by grace through faith. Abraham was saved, Lot's wife was been saved from the world. Context

Why did god have to kill her just because she looked back? It seems like the most human thing to do. Maybe she heard her mothers voice amonst all the screams of the hundreds of people being burned alive by god. Or maybe she just felt a bit of compassion for the suffering of her fellow human beings.

If the punishment for disobeying a stupid command is death, Why didn't god god turn adam and eve into pillars of salt too. Then he could have started again with a new improved version and saved all the future mass murders and genocides that he knew he had to commit in the future.

And what about poor Lot. To have his beloved wife so cruelly killed right in front of him by god must have been heartbreaking for him. And probably even worse for his two daughters to see their loving mother so callously killed in cold blood. I must have been so hard for Lot to have to try to raise them on his own as a single father. The whole crazy story is quite sickening and then gets even worse when he ends up getting drunk and sleeping with them both!!

Is this the yeast that passes for Bible teaching in CE? Is that what you glean from the story of Sodom & Gomorrah? That sin in one is righteousness in another? That righteousness is only relative to circumstance? That explains alot about why you lot refuse to return stolen money.

. . .which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Answer these questions:
Was Abraham living in Sodom? Was Abraham fleeing from Sodom? Did Abraham disobey a command?

KJV: Genesis Chapter 19
[17] And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
KJV: Genesis Chapter 19
[26] But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

The tale of Sodom and Gomorrah is a type of the coming judgement upon the world. . .

KJV: II Peter Chapter 2
[6] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

. . .it speaks to us of the refuge in Jesus. . .look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain,
Jesus is the Mountain to which we flee, not looking behind at the world (of which Sodom & Gomorrah are representative). The sad thing is that Christ Embassy is making a lot of people like Lot's wife; supposedly Christians, supposedly meant to be rescued from the fire of Sodom, but unfortunately kept looking back at Sodom and Gomorrah by the materialistic, self-centered "prosperity" false gospel of Chris Oyakhilome.

You have been warned already:
KJV: Luke Chapter 17
[32] Remember Lot's wife.

It would be quite educative for you read the whole of 2 Peter 2; it describes clearly Christ Embassy.

KJV: II Peter Chapter 2
[18] For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
[19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

I get you. You religious people will believe that looking at sodom was the Sin. But there is nothing wrong with looking at Sodom. Because Abraham looked into that same direction and prospered. The sin she committed was from the heart. "turning back" baclisliding is first from the heart.

Well done bros .

you sound uninformed perhaps you should read the passage again "she became a pillar of salt" not that God made her a pillar of salt" l would suggest that you consider reading the passage again. Thank u

You would spit at scripture verses like the rabid dog you are, foaming at the mouth. . .
Unless it came out of your "Rhapsody of Errors", you wouldn't understand it. The only thing you want to hear are self-affirming platitudes, worshiper of Mammon and Chris Oyaks.

Now tell us. What is the difference between Lot's wife and Abraham?
While you are it, do answer these questions:

@OP
First off. i think your 'spit' was entirely out of place.
secondly, i do believe your answer is within the post now supposedly covered in your spittle
finally, Abraham looked to Sodom and Gomorah arguably because of Lot-a human being
i believe Lot's wife looked behind (in disobedience to a direct command) to the possessions left behind. her mind clearly had not left!!!
