Abominations, Part One

A letter from Brother Gary Savelli

Good evening John.

After reading your recent TFE’s on The Abomination of Desolation, I looked up “abomination”, “abominations”, “abominable”, etc., to see what is abominable to God, aside from the verses on “the abomination of desolation”. I thought there might be a dozen or so. Wow! I was surprised that “abomination” was spoken about so much. For anyone interested in the biblical references to “abomination”, here are most of them. I stuck to the things that were abominable to God.

To me, the important lesson in the Bible study is simply that we don’t want to do “abominations” or be among those who are abominable. We need the Spirit to make us NOT be that way and to enable us to follow the way that leads to a place where there will be NO abomination, forever.

Things That Are Abominations To God

Lev. 7:18 - offering up a sacrifice in a manner not commanded by God.

Deut 7:25 - the idols and the silver or gold on the idols.

Deut. 18:10-12 - a witch, enchanter, observer of times, worker of familiar spirits,

one who speaks with or communicates with the dead.

Prov. 15:8 - the sacrifice of the wicked.

Prov.21:27 - the sacrifice of the wicked.

Prov.28:9 - the prayer of the one who turns away his ear from hearing.

Deut. 23:18 - money from a whore or a homosexual prostitute.

Isa.1:13 - the incense of vain oblations.
