Genesis 19:31-35 KJV


And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
You’re wrong there, that’s actually from the Trump autobiography, also known as the Epstein files!

Context is a great thing. Not sure how the prods take it because that the Prod bible but here's the Catholic perspective.


This records the incestuous acts of Lot's daughters to preserve their family line after the destruction of Sodom. Within a Catholic perspective, this passage is viewed as a tragic consequence of living in a sinful environment (Sodom) and a caution against despair. It highlights the serious sin of incest and moral failing
1 Samuel 18:27 ►

David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
The Context: King Saul acts with deceit, setting this gruesome task to have David killed by the Philistines.
David's Obedience & Zeal: David risks his life to obey the king's request, demonstrating his zeal to fight against Israel’s enemies, the Philistines, for God's sake.
Fulfilled Promise: David marries Michal, cementing his role as the king's son-in-law, despite Saul’s treacherous intentions, which only make Saul fear David more.
Theological Perspective: This narrative is often studied to show how God protects his chosen servant (David) in spite of deceitful opposition, serving as a reminder to trust in God's plan over human plots.

Ezekiel 23:20 ►

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Imagine reading that at someone's funeral!
  • Context of Allegory: Ezekiel 23 uses the parable of two sisters—Oholah (Samaria/Northern Kingdom) and Oholibah (Jerusalem/Southern Kingdom)—to depict how the nation turned away from God to serve foreign gods (idolatry) and formed political alliances with pagan nations.
  • The Metaphor for Sin: The graphic language is intended to shock the reader into understanding the gravity of the betrayal. Just as a wife’s unfaithfulness breaks the marriage covenant, Israel's chasing after other gods breaks the covenant with Yahweh.
  • Symbolic Meaning of "Lovers": The "lovers" are not just individuals, but the foreign powers (Assyria, Babylon, Egypt) that Israel courted, resulting in the adoption of their "filthy" pagan idols.
  • A "Shock" Mechanism: The Catholic Answers perspective emphasizes that the prophets, under divine inspiration, used visceral, sometimes disturbing language to get the attention of an adult audience and wake them up to the seriousness of their sins. It is analogical, not meant to be pornography, but to show that idolatry is a repulsive rejection of God.
  • Judgment and Restoration: The chapter ends with God's judgment (the consequences of this spiritual infidelity) but the overall book of Ezekiel culminates in God’s promise to purify His people, replace their "heart of stone" with a "heart of flesh," and establish a New Covenant.
In essence, it is a passage meant to provoke shame for turning away from the one true God and to illustrate the dire consequences of chasing after idols, a warning that remains relevant for modern faith in resisting distractions that take the place of God
