Line 49: Line 49:
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?'''

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.

We should also look at Deuteronomy 18:
It is clear then that the use of the word "abomination" does not mean that somehow mean that the sin described carries through to the New Testament... unless you believe that Jewish dietary laws are also in effect today.
 
:''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>
