What are ABOMINATIONS to GOD?

 

Luke 16:15 

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


What, then, are things "highly esteemed among men", which causes God's wrath the most?

Exodus 20:2-5 

King James Version

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation of them 

that hate me;


Exodus 35:2 

King James Version

2 Six days shall work be done, 

but on the seventh day

whosoever doeth work therein 

shall be put to death.

King James Version

that creep upon the earth, 

them ye shall not eat; 

for they are an abomination.

lest thou be snared therin: 

for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.

26 Neither shalt thou bring 

an abomination into thine house

lest thou be a cursed thing like it: 

but thou shalt utterly detest it, 

and thou shalt utterly abhor it

for it is a cursed thing.


Deuteronomy 18:10-13

that maketh his son or his daughter

or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, 

or a consulter with familiar spirits, 

or a wizard, 

or a necromancer.

King James Version

11 But king Solomon loved many strange** women

together with the daughter of Pharaoh, 

women of the Moabites, Ammonites, 

Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 Of the nations concerning which 

the Lord said unto the children of Israel, 

Ye shall not go in to them, 

neither shall they come in unto you: 

for surely they will turn away your heart 

after their gods

Solomon clave unto these in love.

3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, 

and three hundred concubines

and his wives turned away his heart.

4 For it came to pass

when Solomon was old, 

that his wives turned away his heart 

after other gods: 

and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God

as was the heart of David his father.

5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth 

the goddess of the Zidonians, 

and after Milcom 

the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, 

and went not fully after the Lord, 

as did David his father.

feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, 

and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Isaiah 1:11-16 

King James Version

11 To what purpose 

is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? 

saith the Lord

I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, 

and the fat of fed beasts; 

and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, 

or of lambs, 

or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before me, 

who hath required this at your hand, 

to tread my courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; 

incense is an abomination unto me; 

the new moons and sabbaths,

 the calling of assemblies, 

I cannot away with; 

it is iniquity, 

even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts 

my soul hateth

they are a trouble unto me; 

I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, 

I will hide mine eyes from you: 

yea, when ye make many prayers, 

I will not hear: 

your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash you, 

make you clean; 

put away the evil of your doings 

from before mine eyes; 

cease to do evil;


Mark 7:20-23 

King James Version

20 And he said, 

That which cometh out of the man, 

that defileth the man.

21 For from within, 

out of the heart of men, 

proceed evil thoughts, 

adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, 

deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, 

blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, 

and defile the man.


1 Corinthians 6:9-10 

King James Version

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God

Be not deceived

neither fornicators, nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 

nor revilers, nor extortioners, 

shall inherit the kingdom of God.


NOTES:

*Froward is a person "difficult to deal with; contrary".

**Strange means "foreign". More definitions here.

***Ossifrage is "an older name for the bearded vulture, a scavenger famous for dropping animal bones and live tortoises on top of rocks to crack them open". (Wikipedia)

****That "belly" verse is supported by this verse, when God cursed the serpent that deceived Eve:

Genesis 3:14-15 

King James Version

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 

Because thou hast done this, 

thou art cursed above all cattle, 

and above every beast of the field; 

upon thy belly shalt thou go, 

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 

and between thy seed and her seed; 

it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.
