In this episode Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley dive into Genesis 17-19 to discuss why Sarah laughs, a Christophany?, and what really happens at Sodom.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• So the Lord appears to Abraham and they begin a conversation about Sarah. This sounds like the beginning of Genesis 17, is this the same encounter from a different angle or is it a different event?
• Why is Sarah laughing?
• Is one of these three men a Chirstophany?
• What happens when Sarah lies to God?
• Abraham starts to talk with God, is Abraham changing God’s mind in this passage?
• Why is Lot rescued, is it because he is righteous?
• Why is Lot at the gate?
• What really happens at Sodom?
• What is Sodom’s primary sin?
• Is there a significance to salt? (Genesis 19:26)

Helpful Definitions:

• Christophany: An appearance of the Son of God before the incarnation.
• Immutable: God is always the same.
• Impassibility: God does not feel emotions.
