has been argued that the legal drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18 so that young adults are allowed to drink in certain environments.

God’s motivation for talking to Abraham about the burning of Sodom shows that teaching Abraham is His purpose. We hear God’s internal dialogue in which

Should they raise the legal driving age to 18? I don’t think the legal driving age should be raised to 18. The reason I feel this way is‚ there are many flaws in the system and teens should not be stereotyped.
