How are we as Christians to interpret Scripture regarding Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at Sodom and Gomorrah? Why was she given the ultimate punishment for this?
I ask this in light of a discussion in another forum regarding the sins of Onan, who was slain by God. This passage is given as justification for the sin of spilling one’s seed.
Why are we to interpret Onan’s deed as sinful, but not much is said regarding other Old Testament people killed for what seems to me to be minor infractions, such as looking back at a burning city?!
Thank you
