If more Americans read their Bibles, they'd also realize that the same book that says homosexuality is "abomination" (actually it's "a man lying with a man as he would with a woman"...so lesbian sex is A-Okay!!!) also says that eating shellfish is an abomination to the Lord (Leviticus 11:10-11) . So are all flying insects...not even eating flying insects, mind you, just the insects themselves...and so is practicing divination (like reading horoscopes) or sorcery. If you sacrifice to God a bull or ram that has a blemish, that is also abomination (according to Deuteronomy), so too is a woman who dresses in mens' clothes (Deut 22:5), and if you sell someone a dog, you are not allowed to bring the money they pay you into a church, because that's "abomination" too (Deut 23:18).
They threw that word around pretty lightly.
Well said, it seems modern Christians have adopted abominable lifestyles, but think it OK to criticise others for their transgressions of the OT declarations.
A little odd they should cling to some OT stuff, when the JC of NT never mentioned anything about this. In fact, he said very little, which I guess, is why Christians up make so much stuff themselves!
