WHAT IS “AN ABOMINATION”?

The word "abomination"DEFINITION:
occurs 117 times in the Bible. By
definition, "abomination" refers to
practices that are not in harmony with
God's will, and should not be seen under
the sun.
Examples include eating unclean animals
(Lev.11, Deut. 14: 3; Acts 15:20), idolatry
(Deut. 7:25), telling lies (Prov. 11: 1),
wicked thoughts, (Prov. 15:26), pride
(Prov. 16: 5), a woman’s putting on the
garments of a man or vice versa, (Deut.
22: 5), justification of wrongdoing or
condemnation of the righteous
(Ezek. 18:24), fornication (Lev. 19:29),
and doing all that is contrary to the will of
God in one's relationships (Prov. 6, Lev.
18).
Lev.18 mentions many kinds of
abominations in people's relationships
with their neighbors, and all of this is
forbidden by Jehovah, for they are
immoral and such kinds of marriage do
not render marriage honorable.
Jehovah abhorreth abomination; and
many nations have been
destroyed because of the abominations
of their inhabitants. The Book of Kings
and Chronicles narrate the destruction of
the nations that commit abominations:

 1 Kings 14:24 (fornication in general);
 2 Kings 16: 3 (child sacrifice);
 2 Kings 21: 2 and 2 Kings 21:11
(idolatry);
 2 Chron. 28: 3 (child sacrifice);
 2 Chron. 33: 2 (idolatry);
 2 Chron. 34:33, 36: 8, and 36:14
(generally). (Ezra 9: 1, 9:11, and 9:14)
In all these cases, “abomination” refers to
any foreign immoral acts and practices,
committed by Israel and the Israelite king,
which are condemned, as they are
immoral in the sight of Jehovah and of
heaven and earth.
Likewise, the word "abomination" is used
to refer to idolatry (Ezek. 5:11, 6: 9, 6:11,
7:20, 14: 6, 20: 7-8, 22: 2 , 44: 6-7,
44:13), addiction (Ezek. 18:13), self-
exaltation and pride (Ezek. 16: 47-50; the
"Sin of Sodom"), adultery (Hebrews
22:11, 33:26), as well as violence (Ezek.
33:26), as well as practices of foreign
rituals and cultures in general (Ezek.
16:51), or lawlessness (Ezek. 5: 9, 7: 3-4,
7: 8-9, 9: 4, 11:18, 11:21, 12:16, 16: 2,
16:43, 18:24, 20: 4, 33: 29, 36:31).
Ezekiel also said that idolatry and
"fornication" were abominable (Ezek.
16:22, 16:36, 16:58, 23:26, 43: 8).

HOMOSEXUALITY IS
AN ABOMINATION
In this age, many are engaged in same-
sex marriage. And it is common to see
gays and lesbians, transgender people,
and the like, create associations, fight for
their rights and freedom of expression in
these "sodomy" attitudes and practices.
However, in a traditional and God-fearing
society, homosexuality and same-sex
marriage are a social outrage and these
are equally an abomination to Jehovah
God.
LEV. 18 shows the different types of
lewdness that should never be practiced
to make a marriage holy. Among these
abominations in the sight of Jehovah are
lying with someone of a similar gender as
it is said in the Bible:
“ You shall not lie with a male as
with a woman; for it is an
abomination. (Leviticus 18:22)
The children of Israel are a holy people to
Jehovah, and we, too, are spiritual
children of God; therefore, the
commandment is also given to us so that

we do not commit any abomination in the
sight of Jehovah. Otherwise, we will be
destroyed and vomited out of the land.
Leviticus 18: 26-30 is clear:
"And ye shall keep my statutes and my
judgments, and shall not commit any of these
abominations; neither for the home-born, nor
for the stranger that sojourneth with you"
(Leviticus 18:26) "for all these abominations
have the men of the land done. (Leviticus
18:27) “So that you may not defile the land,
and it will not vomit you out, as it has
vomited out the nations that were before
you. (Leviticus 18:28) “Whoever commits any
of these abominations, they shall be cut off
from his people.” (Leviticus 18:29) Therefore
shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit
not any one of these abominable customs,
which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD
your God.”( Leviticus 18:30)
In Leviticus 20, Jehovah again restated
the law on morality and marriage, and he
emphasized the prohibition of same-sex
marriage. And this is what Judah says:
“Discipline of the false servant of Jesus
Christ and brother of James, to those who are
called, beloved in God the Father and kept
for Jesus Christ;” (Jude 1)
“And I would that ye should remember,
though ye have known all things before that
the Lord did deliver the people out of Egypt,
after that they destroyed the unbelievers.”
(Jude 5) And the angels which kept not their
first estate, but left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness unto the judgment of the great

day. »(Jude 6) “ So also Sodom and
Gomorrah and the neighboring cities with
their fornication, after which they went out
after other men, were set forth as an example,
suffering the torment of eternal fire. »(Jude 7)
THE UNRIGHTEOUS
SHALL NOT INHERIT
THE KINGDOM OF GOD
The Bible says that flesh and blood will
not inherit God's kingdom, because they
are not holy. Whoever commits any of these
abominations, they shall be cut off from his
people.
“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, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.” ( 1
Corinthians 6:9-10)
“For the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness,” (Galatians 5:19)
“idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, strife,
envy, strife, divisions, divisions,
(Galatians 5:20) “Jealousy, drunkenness,
greediness, and such like, as I said

before, as I also said before, that they
who do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:21)
Revelation 21: 8 and 27 and Revelation
22:15 also state that the unbelievers,
adulterers, murderers, and idolaters, and
the immoral, will not enter into the
Kingdom of God:
“And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie: but they which are written in
the Lamb's book of life. » (Rev. 21:27)
CONCLUSION
Obviously, immoral people will not inherit
the kingdom of God as defined in the
Scriptures:
“ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall
not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived: neither fornicators,
idolaters, adulterers and sodomites * [*
See Lev.18.22] »(1 Corinthians 6:
9) “and the thieves, the greedy,
drunkards, revilers and the violent will not
inherit the kingdom of God. (1
Corinthians 6:10)
God created man and woman. “Let the
husband render unto the wife due
benevolence: and likewise also the wife
unto the husband. The wife hath not
power of her own body, but the husband:

and likewise also the husband hath not
power of his own body, but the wife.” (1
Corinthians 7: 3-4)
· Likewise the sodomite, which is an
abomination in the sight of God, "You
shall not lie with a man as with a
woman; for it is an abomination.”
(Leviticus 18:22) So also Sodom and
Gomorrah and the neighboring cities with
their fornication, after which they went out
after other men, were set forth as a
warning by their enduring torment in
eternal fire.” (Jude 7)
“But the weak, and the unbelieving, and
the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake of fire and
brimstone; this is the second death.”
(Revelation 21: 8)
“And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie: but they which are written in
the Lamb's book of life. (Rev. 21:27)
“ Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers,
the sexually immoral, the murderers, the
idolaters, and everyone who loves
falsehood.” (Revelation 22:15)
