He doesn't hate just to be hateful. There is a reason for such feelings. All of the things He finds abominable and detestable go against His plan, His way, etc. This is a KJV Bible study guide. Abomination: a disgusting thing, abomination, abominable, a foul thing, a detestable thing The website below lists at least 43 things God hates; see what you think. http://livingtheway.org/43things.html Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Proverbs 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, Proverbs 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. You can see for yourself that these acts are pretty disgusting; even to us humans. Is there a way to rid ones self of such sins if you are guilty of doing them or any others for that matter? Yes. God is very patient. He wants all to come to repentance; see 2 Peter 3:9, John 3:16 and Matthew 12:31. He doesn't exclude anyone in these verses, does He? He gives all of us a way out, if we choose to accept it. You can read for yourself, above in Proverbs 6:17, that God hates the shedding of innocent blood and a lying tongue. I believe abortion and lying about it (calling it health care) falls into these categories. What say you? By the way, abortion and or lying are not the unpardonable sin. They can be forgiven, if one seeks that forgiveness. It must be done in complete truth though; see Psalm 145:18 (you can’t con God). More on ABOMINATION! I no sooner learned to read that I began reading the Bible. It was for me a wonderful adventure into realms of amazing stories, awe-inspiring laws, and new words. One new word that especially caught my attention was abomination. I once counted the various forms of the word used in the Bible, close to two hundred. The Word told me that God wants us to regard certain things with a holy dread. These included idolatry, lawlessness, unclean foods, moral irresponsibility and more. In some instances, as in Ezekiel 7:3, God declares that the corrupt life of the nation is an abomination to Him, and He will bring judgment on the whole people because they have become a people without shame. A people without shame are blinded by their sin (Pride marches, etc.). When I was young, the word shameless was commonly used to describe people who flaunted their sin as though it were a virtue. It describes much of our culture now, and too many people. Similarly, a sense of guilt is no longer prominent in our culture because sin has been denied and guilt is seen, in Freudian terms, as simply a relic of a primordial past. Guilt and shame have been replaced by self-esteem, a highly prized late twentieth-century virtue. Self-esteem goes hand in hand with irresponsibility and victim-hood. When Adam was confronted by God with his sin, his answer was to blame God and the woman: ” The woman thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.”(Genesis 3:12). Adam saw himself as the innocent victim of a conspiracy by God and Eve! Eve’s response was similar; she was a poor, innocent woman who was beguiled by the Serpent (Genesis 3:13). Self-esteem goes hand in hand with irresponsibility because it presupposes man’s natural goodness. Given this good, or, at worst, neutral state of man’s moral being, it then follows that when man does wrong, something outside of him is to blame. But this moral goodness, or moral neutrality, of man is basic to humanism. As a result, sin and evil are due to things outside man, God, nature, the family, the environment, and so on and so on. Humanism leads inevitably to a morally irresponsible society, we read of AIDS victims (homosexuals in particular), as though they are casualties of a war and not of an unnatural act! Are they proud of that? Who knows. The word abomination tells us that God required us to view certain things with a holy dread because they destroy the moral fabric of men and society. But the word abomination has become almost obsolete outside the Bible, and the holy dread of offending God is all but gone. People who claim to be Christians can disagree casually with what God has said on a variety of things as though the Bible is only ratified and valid when a man agrees with it! This too is abomination. We need to take stock of ourselves. If what God calls an abomination is a matter of indifference to us, something is seriously wrong with us, not with God nor the Bible. Are we making of ourselves an abomination in God’s sight? We should regard every instance of the use of the word in Scripture as a warning from God. | |
