When Sodom and the cities around it were destroyed, why didn't Lot try to find Abraham?

The Lord brought something to my attention ... how many people say the Bible is written by man; that the Bible is full of flaws, inaccuracies, etc. Some say there is no heaven and there is no hell. They say there is no real proof ... that dates and times are off. They pick out something and say that it doesn't add up. BUT; no one will argue that the Bible talks about death. At some time or another you've been to a funeral! You have to die. The Bible says heaven and hell; and that point is a point of contention. But, death! No one disagrees about death. If the Bible is right about death, how can it be wrong about heaven or hell? People don't want to accept heaven and hell ... they won't accept salvation in Jesus Christ through holiness. But, people will accept death ... why one and not the other?

In the bible, God never made excuses... why do we?

I read in the book of James that if a believer was sick because of a fault or sin they were to call for the elders to pray for them... and the elders did pray and there was deliverance. What's changed today?

The prayer that Jesus is quick to answer is that prayer that is seeking first the Kingdom of God.
