When you use the Greek word ἀγάπη what do YOU mean?

OK what in the below verses are NOW permissible?

Leviticus 18:22

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is ABOMINATION.

Leviticus 20:13

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an ABOMINATION: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are
ABOMINATION unto the LORD thy God.

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an ABOMINATION unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 11:20

They that are of a froward heart are ABOMINATION to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.

Proverbs 12:22

Lying lips are ABOMINATION to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Proverbs 15:26

The thoughts of the wicked are an ABOMINATION to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.


Proverbs 15:8

The sacrifice of the wicked is an ABOMINATION to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Proverbs 16:5

Every one that is proud in heart is an ABOMINATION to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs 17:15

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are ABOMINATION to the LORD.

Proverbs 20:10

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike ABOMINATION to the LORD.

Proverbs 28:9

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be ABOMINATION.

What was seemingly innocent in the list I offered you?

Aquila, do you like to win at board games?

For love, the agape kind of love, divine love, fulfills the spirit and intent of the whole Law and demands infinitely more. Frankly, the Law of Moses is too low of a standard. It is a pathetic, basement level of carnal righteousness when compared to love, which is the Law of Christ, the Law of Liberty.

But, it is said in the book of Acts that God once looked the other way at man's stupidity, but NOW He demands all to repent. The Law was just the slave who brought the youth to the teacher. So actually the law brought the Judean to Messiah. The Judean, not the New Jerseyite, but the Judean/Israelite who then taught the Greek. What you all believe the law to be isn't what the first century believer understood the law to be. Hence some of you guys end up in a gospel of inclusion, or full blown antinomianism.

Neither does feeding the poor, or other good deeds.

Get out of town, bro! Then here comes the ones who wear only dresses, "in fact, many women who wear dresses down to the floor love God more than those who only wear pants." Or the ones who are Muslims, "in fact, many women who are Muslim love God more than those who are Christians."

Bro, you must think that everyone is an idiot, and are mindless slaves being led by legalistic ecclesiastical vampires. smh

That is true holiness.

Bro, I know scores of people who are LEGALISTICALLY doing all the above.

Biggest hypocrites who ever walked in shoe leather. Funny thing is the homeless, and unchurched all know it. They go down to the homeless in the city of Fort Lauderdale, do their good deeds, tell them be warmed and fed, but give them nothing.

Bro, one day you will see what is behind the curtain, and I hope you all can deal with it.
