Scripture provides examples of abominations for offering
- The sacrifices of the wicked are an abomination(ps 15:8, 20:27), (God loves a cheerful giver.)
- The ways of the wicked are an abomination to God(ps 15:9) The way of the righteous man is pleasing before God.
- The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination(prov 15:26). Think on things that are right, holy, of good report, pure.
- Pride is an abomination(Pr 16:5) God exalts the humble.
- A king that commits wickedness is an abomination(pr 16:2). On the same note, he that justifies the wicked an condemns the just is an abomination before God(Pr 17:15). The same is the wisdom behind the law of diverse weights and measures which were forbidden to be carried in the same bag(Pr 20:10.) It represents mischief and inequality in apportioning judgement, which is the function of the devil, the accuser of the saints. The ancients used unjust measures of weights to steal from their customers and this law ensured that only what was just in weight according to their resources was given to the people. For this reason, the spirit of God asserted through His Son on inequitable judgement; first get rid of the log that is in your eye before pointing out the speck in your brothers eye.
