<p>10:15&nbsp;<em>Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable</em>- There will be degrees of punishment for the rejected at the last day.</p>
<p><em>For the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city</em>- The people from Sodom will appear at the day of judgment. Seeing that knowledge brings responsibility, it follows that somehow those people had had God&rsquo;s word preached to them, just as the towns of first century Israel had. But by whom? There is no direct record of Abraham or Lot witnessing to them, but it could be that Lot&rsquo;s righteous living was counted as a witness to them which demanded they too accepted Lot&rsquo;s righteous lifestyle. Seeing that Melchizedek lived in the area, one wonders whether he may have witnessed to them. In any case, we read only a few incidents from the lives of Bible characters; perhaps Abraham and / or Lot made a major witness to those cities and to the area around them (&ldquo;<em>the land</em>&nbsp;of Sodom&hellip;&rdquo;).</p>
