Lots Wife

I know the story of Lots Wife very well. I first read it in sunday school way back in the day. However what they left out in sunday school was the part where the daughters have sex with their father to preserve the family line. But after the angels said not to look back, his wife does. After she looks back, she is turned into a pillar of salt. It reminds me of adam and eve. God is putting temptation into the path of people and some choose to give into temptation. This reminds me of the story in the Grand Inquisitor. In this chapter, Ivan talks about all of the temptations Christ could of taken but he did not. Ivan says that Christ should of taken the temptations though so people would have security instead of freedom.
