 ==But doesn't the Bible says it is an abomination to God?==
-In Deut. 14 we read:
+We have heard the argument that the sin of "dressing like a man" was worse than other sins because it was an "abomination" to God, a special class of sin that God particularly hated.  As a result, this command carries through to the New Testament. '''Is this a valid argument?'''
-:''Do not eat any '''detestable''' thing. 4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep. 6 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. 7 However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you. 8 The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.
+===Does the word "abomination" refer to a special class of sin?=
-:''9 Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that has fins and scales. 10 But anything that does not have fins and scales you may not eat; for you it is unclean.
+The root Hebrew word תֹּועֵבָה (towʿebah, pronounced "to·ay·baw")<ref>James Strong, Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon (Woodside Bible Fellowship, 1995)</ref> is translated by the KJV as "abmoination" or "abominable" depending on the sense.  In order to determine whether the argument is valid, we need to look at other uses of the word.
-:''11 You may eat any clean bird. 12 But these you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 13 the red kite, the black kite, any kind of falcon, 14 any kind of raven, 15 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 16 the little owl, the great owl, the white owl, 17 the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant, 18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.
+In Deuteronomy 14 we read:
-:''19 All flying insects are unclean to you; do not eat them. 20 But any winged creature that is clean you may eat. <ref>The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), Dt 14:3–20.</ref>
+:''Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.  These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, the hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.  And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.   Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.   And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.  These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.<ref>The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Dt 14:3–10.</ref>
+So eating catfish, clam chowder, crab cakes or shrimp tacos are also an abomination to God.  Eating bacon or a pulled pork sandwich is as bad as a woman wearing pants.
+We should also look at Deuteronomy 18:
+:''When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.<ref>The Holy Bible: King James Version, Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version. (Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 2009), Dt 18:9–12.</ref>
+Many in the message read the horoscope.
