Part 13 in my study on what is abomination
in the sight of God.
Recap:
Many believers have fallen into accepting
that which is abomination in the sight of God. Unless we study God's Word to
learn His Mind on what is abominable, how will we know to purge ourselves from
abomination? Lord willing, I will be posting the fruits of my study on the word
"abomination," but feel free to leap ahead of me and study it for
yourself. What is an abomination to God?
These Seven Things
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.
If ever there was a
clear list given in God's Word for abominations in His eyes, Proverbs 6:16-19
holds the key. It is distinct and unarguable. Above that, sadly, this list can
be found in many believers' lives.
- Hands that Shed
Innocent Blood
This is what the Bible says it is, and no clearer definition
is given by the Hebrew translation. Many minds, I imagine, go to "those
days" when men would fight against men, killing them for no reason. And we
do see this today. The Holocaust is an example. Serial killers is an example.
But what about abortion? Every time a baby is aborted, their innocent blood is
shed. God will not hold this guiltless.
Psalm 10:8 - He
sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he
murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
