Wow if anyone says the bible is boring they have never read it. These 5 chapters have the birth of a son from a concubine. It has jealousy of a wife and the women she gave her husband. It has God coming to the earth. It has attempted homosexuality, fire raining down from heave and a women being turned into a pillar of salt. Lot's daughters decide to get their father drunk and then get pregnant by him. Then Abraham lies to save his own bum.
After reading all this I asked the question what does this tell me about the God of the bible. The only answer I could come up with is that it shows He is a patient and forgiving God. He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and yet save Lot and his family. He save the king of Egypt from doing wrong even though He didn't have to. The God of the bible uses sinful human beings. He gives us forgiveness even though we do not deserve it. He gives us patience even though we mess up all the time. The God of the bible is truly a compassionate God when we will respond to Him and sometimes when we do not.
