N.T. the Word or a Form or it Ten Times Four Greek Words (1) “an abomination, an abominable thing” (2) “abominable, detestable” (3) “illegal; by implication, flagitious” (4) “to be disgusted, i.e. (by implication) detest (especially of idolatry): to abominate, loathe, detest, abhor”

(1) “an abomination, an abominable thing” Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14 “abomination of desolation” Luke 16:15 “abomination in the sight of God” Revelation 21:27 “causes an abomination or a lie” Revelation 17:4,5 “cup full of abominations” “abominations of the earth”

(2) “abominable, detestable” Titus 1:16 NKJV 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.”

(3) “illegal; by implication, flagitious” 1 Peter 4:3 NKJV 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

(4) “to be disgusted, i.e. (by implication) detest (especially of idolatry): to abominate, loathe, detest, abhor” Revelation 21:8 “abominable…have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” Romans 2:22 “abhor idols”

“Abomination” Does Not Have Any Single Application That Would Give it Some Mysterious Meaning Means that God is disgusted with the sins of mankind Idolatry – Deuteronomy 7:25,26; Romans 2:22; 1 Peter 4:3 Offering Defiled Sacrifices – Deuteronomy 17:1; Isaiah 1:13 Unlawful Sexual Relations – Leviticus 18:6-20,29 Professing to Know God but in Works Deny Him – Titus 1:16

“If something was an abomination to God in the Old Testament, is it an abomination to Him for all time? Not true with divorced woman – Deuteronomy 24:4; 1 Corinthians 7:10,11,39 Anything that violates God’s Laws would be an “abomination” before Him. Revelation 21:8,27
