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

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.

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.

ABOMINATION unto the LORD thy God.













Ezekiel 33:6

I believe that either the entire Law is in play, or none of it is in play. Either one must obey the entire Law, or one is elevated in Christ into a Grace that is above the Law.

Now, Grace is not lawlessness. The law of Grace is love. And the commandments of this law are:

1.) Love God with all your being.
2.) Love others as yourself.

In loving others we demonstrate our love for God. For love fulfills the whole Law.

Does this mean that some things under the Law of Moses are now permissible? Yes. Does it mean that some seemingly innocent and permissible things are now sin? Yes. 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.

Wearing skirts down to your ankles doesn't prove that you love God more than the woman wearing pants. In fact, many women who wear pants love God more than those who only wear skirts and dresses. Head coverings don't prove one loves God more than women who don't wear head coverings. Eating fish on Friday proves nothing. Refusing to eat a ham sandwich or shrimp scampi means nothing. Many who do eat these things love God as much or more than those who don't.

What proves to God how much we love Him? Visiting the orphan and the widow. Feeding the hungry, giving water to those who thirst, clothing the naked, loving one another, loving our enemies, preaching the Gospel...living and loving as a living extension of Jesus Himself.

That is true holiness.
