“ A: SINCE HE DID DESTROY IT, OBVIOUSLY HE FOUND FEWER THAN TEN RIGHTEOUS”

One could argue, based on subsequent events (the conception of Ammon and Moab, and the pillar of salt), that He found none righteous…but out of faithfulness to Abraham He saved Lot and his family anyway.

I really like Martin (#24) and Snyder (#26)…but again it is Tissot that provides the most noteworthy perspective here. This story is more about Abraham than even the parties more directly involved.

Since "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", I would argue that is exactly what He found.

...it is Tissot that provides the most noteworthy perspective here.

That is his specialty....

Each of these quiz-questions requires only 10 or so images, so I cherry-pick the “best”.
