In the women/pants/hell thread, SE gave this explanation of why certain abominations in the OT are still bad today, and some are now OK:

YOU and GOD are NOT the same.
There are clear NT passages that make the eating of these meats proper there is NO passage that says unisex clothing is alright.
If it was an abomination UNTO GOD it still is.

This could cover the things mentioned as abominations (if it's correct), but what about the other laws? Not every forbidden thing is called an abomination, either to "you" or to "God". The Ten Commandments, for example, and "take no gift" (
Exodus 23:8).
And is this way of classifying abominations a commonly held view of Apostolics? I have seen only SE espouse the idea, I think.
Any thoughts?
