Lot was a just and righteous man. (2nd Peter 2:7-8) He was the only man that God saved from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:15) So clearly Lot is the kind of man we should all aspire to be. In Genesis 19:32-36 we can read that Lot impregnated both his virgin daughters. The Bible raises no objections against this. Both had male children who were identified as progenitors of the Moab and Ammon people.

Cranky Old Man, I too have thought about this passage. His daughters actually instigated the act and gave him wine to get him drunk before they had sex with him. Although he was obviously not drunk enough that he couldn't 'perform' so must have been a willing participant. As you say having sex with their father does not seem to be an issue but I am interested in your thoughts about them plying with drink first. As far as I can see there is no condemnation in Genesis for them doing this.

Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
I know God wouldn't let me believe in Him if He didn't exist.
