WHAT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD?

Webster’s Dictionary defines “abomination” as:

Definition of ABOMINATION
1: something abominable
2: extreme disgust and hatred : loathing
Synonyms: abhorrence, hate, anathema, antipathy, aversion, bête noire, detestation, execration

In brief, “abomination” means something extremely hated – everyone has an abomination to something or for something – for instance, child molesting or abusing a child would be an abomination – something that I really hate with extreme disgust. So, what is an abomination to you? What do you think is an abomination to God? And, how many abominations are there in the Bible? Well, I did a search on Bible Gateway (www.biblegateway.com) under King James Version for the word “abomination” and came up with 142 instances of abomination in numerous verses – however, some are abominations to nations or other people but not in reference to GOD.

All sin is an abomination to GOD. GOD hates sin. None of us can avoid it – none of us can avoid sin – in essence, we all commit abominations to GOD, because GOD hates sin. Why is it, then, that we, as humans, tend to pick and choose which abominations are the ones that GOD will or will not approve of? Did GOD say, okay, I will accept these, but not those? NOT. GOD cannot approve of ANY type of sin because HE is perfect and cannot sin, and GOD cannot approve of anything that is not perfect. We, therefore, are full of sin, and cannot “not” sin. I know, sounds confusing. But, in simple form, this is what I am getting at – all SIN is an abomination to GOD, therefore, since we ALL sin, ALL of us commit abominations to GOD.

Look in the Old Testament – come on now, eating bacon and pork chops are abominations to GOD – do you really think GOD is going to condemn you to hell for eating a pork chop? I don’t think so. JESUS came and fulfilled the law – JESUS paid the price for our sins – JESUS said “It is finished” – HE died for the sins of the whole world – NOT just the ones WE approve of. Does that mean we should eat bacon three times per day? NO – although I would love to, it wouldn’t be good for my health. The point is, you have to look at the whole picture. GOD gave a plethora of instructions and commands to the people of Israel from what foods to eat, how to talk, how to dress, what to touch, what not to touch, and how to worship HIM – because salvation had not been attained yet through Jesus Christ – and, since we are now redeemed, many things are no longer applicable to today, like eating pork, things like that. We do not have to adhere to the food restrictions. Although if one chooses to out of personal choice, that’s okay too. GOD had HIS reasons for all of those instructions to the people of Israel.

It’s like being a parent – let’s say you have a child who is allergic to peanuts – you would therefore command that child not to eat peanuts, because it isn’t good for them. Let’s also say, you tell your child he can’t wear his hair long – and it’s because his school has a dress code in place – it’s for his own good – for the good of the people – not necessarily anything that would condemn them to hell.

But now, that does not mean that everything in the Old Testament is void – because GOD does expect us to do our best to live by the Ten Commandments and the commands that JESUS gave us in the New Testament – like love they neighbor as thyself, etc. So, we are not free to go rampant with sin and do as we please without consequences. ALL of us have to face the consequences of our actions – not one person on this earth can avoid the final judgment day. As Christians, being saved through the blood of Jesus Christ, who paid the atonement for our sins, we are forgiven. But, I assure you, that we will all still have to answer for what we have done and not done during our lives here on this earth. That’s for another sermon.

My point is this – with all the chaos and fighting and bickering amongst us so-called Christians about what is an abomination to GOD and who is better than someone else, what is right or wrong – we have no right to judge others for their sins, when we are all sinners. Let me tell you folks, judging others is an abomination to GOD also. Lying is an abomination to GOD (oops, there go all the politicians). Spewing hateful words and violence acts towards others “in the name of GOD” is absolutely an abomination to GOD. Got news for you, smoking cigarettes (or any kind of intoxicating substance) is also a sin – anything that hurts your body, like smoking and doing drugs, it’s all a sin – and is an abomination to GOD – even eating too much – or not eating enough on purpose, like bulimia and anorexia, it’s a sin because it hurts your body. Did you know that eating seafood like shrimp and crab legs (which I dearly love to eat) is a sin according to the Old Testament laws – and since sin is an abomination, well, if you want to adhere to the Old Testament laws, then you are sinning – hopefully, now, you get the picture.

We can, however, recognize that something is a sin, and, without judging and condemning others, and still love and care for that person for who they are and NOT what they do. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you and to them to convict them to want to change their ways. Someone has to want to change. We can’t force it on them. And, we should not disown them or excommunicate them either. How can you show someone unconditional love if you are giving them conditional ultimatums? There are times when intervention is needed, and that is after prayerful consideration and guidance by the Holy Spirit.

I suggest you humbly pray about the situation you are dealing with concerning the sin of another person and ask God to give you the right words to minister to them. God may not want you to get involved at all. HE may just want you to pray for the right person to come along to help. Regardless, tell that person you love them and that you respect their opinion and that you are there for them if they need you. You do not need to enable their sin, just back off and give them their space. Respecting an opinion does not mean accepting it. They have a right to their opinions just like everyone else. They may not know they are wrong – and be warned, you might be wrong.

We do not have to agree with everyone’s way of life or choices they make, and they don’t have to agree with ours – but we DO have to respect one another and love one another as Christ loves us, who gave HIS life for us and all of our dirty filthy sins and, if you don’t think you have any, you are wrong.

Next time you think about judging someone who is, for example, living a lifestyle you don’t approve of, or has committed adultery, or lied, or cheated, or an addict to alcohol or drugs, think about that bacon or pork chop you had recently. They don’t have to agree with your choices – and you don’t have to eat bacon.

LORD, JESUS, I ADMIT THAT I AM A SINNER, AND ALL SIN IS AN ABOMINATION TO YOU, BUT YOU DIED FOR ME ANYWAY. I ADMIT THAT NOT ONE DAY GOES BY THAT I CANNOT SIN, BUT YOU SAVED ME FROM MY SINS ANYWAY. I DO, HOWEVER, COME TO YOU, MY LORD AND SAVIOR, AND ASK YOUR FORGIVENESS FOR JUDGING OTHERS ON THEIR SINS, WHEN I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU TO FORGIVE ME FOR MINE. IT IS NOT MY JOB TO JUDGE – BUT TO LOVE OTHERS – AND SHOW THEM THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR THEM AND THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN. KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT AND MY EYES OPEN, AND MY HEART FULL OF LOVE AND NOT HATE. AMEN.
