 It is clear then that the use of the word "abomination" does not somehow mean that the sin described carries through to the New Testament... unless you believe that Jewish dietary laws are also in effect today.
+===An "abomination to the Lord" is a special class of sin===
+Deuteronomy 22:5 reads:
+:''“A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is '''an abomination to the LORD your God'''.<ref>New American Standard Bible, 1995 Edition: Paragraph Version (La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Dt 22:5.</ref>
+Some have said that when the specific sin is an "abomination to the Lord", it is a special class of sin that still is considered a sin by God today.  The problem with this reasoning is seen in  Leviticus 18:22:
+:''Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.<ref>The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Le 18:22.</ref>
+Under this interpretation, homosexuality is a much less serious sin than a woman wearing pants.
 ===If it was a special type of sin, wouldn't the punishment be special as well?===
