@mark noble,
It's not even 'speculation.' It's all mythological without any basis in fact or evidence.
Even those miracles with thousands in attendance doesn't have any record of those events outside the bible. How can that be? Also, who witnessed that woman turning into a pile of salt, and then recorded it? They had to wait over 200 years to record that event? Something smells like old dead fish.
Quote:The narrative of Lot's wife begins in Genesis 19 after two angels arrived in Sodom, at eventide, and were invited to spend the night at Lot's home. As dawn was breaking, Lot's visiting angels urged him to get his family and flee, so as to avoid being caught in the impending disaster for the iniquity of the city. Lot delayed, so the angels took hold of his hand, his wife's hand and his daughters and brought them out of the city. The command was given, "Flee for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, lest you be swept away."[1] Lot objected to the idea of fleeing to the hills and requested safe haven at a little town nearby. The request was granted and the town became known as Zoar. Traveling behind her husband, Lot's wife looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt.[2]
Looking back has become a sin punishable by being turned into a 'pillar of salt.' God's justice! Plain silly and foolish.
