Abomination - Evil People and Things God Hates

Things that are an abomination to God:

Adultery

Lev 18:20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her.

Homosexuality and bestiality

Lev 18:22-29 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. 24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Lev 20:13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

Rom 1:24-32 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Deu 7:25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.

Deu 27:15 Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen!

Deu 32:16 They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

Incest

Pro 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

Marriage of divorced, married, divorced woman to former husband

Deu 24:4 then her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled; for that is an abomination before the LORD, and you shall not bring sin on the land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

Money made from a whore or price of a dog, as a consecrated gift

Deu 23:18 You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the LORD your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the LORD your God.

Offering children in sacrifice

Deu 18:9-13 "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God."

Perverse persons

Jud 19:22 As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!"

Pro 3:32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD, But His secret counsel is with the upright.

Pro 11:20 Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their ways are His delight.

The proud in heart

Pro 16:5 Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD; Though they join forces, none will go unpunished.

Seven things

Pro 6:16-19 These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.

The unjust

Pro 17:15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.

Wearing the clothes of the opposite sex

Deu 22:5 A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.

Wickedness

Pro 21:27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more when he brings it with wicked intent!

The thoughts of the wicked

Pro 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but the words of the pure are pleasant.

The way of the wicked

Pro 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but He loves him who follows righteousness.

Unjust weights and measures

Deu 25:13-16 You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 16 For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.

Pro 11:1 Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight.

Pro 20:10 Diverse weights and diverse measures, They are both alike, an abomination to the LORD.

Pro 20:23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the LORD, and dishonest scales are not good.
