Unless?
You
might not understand what the bible is teaching you?
Do you
substitute these two words,
Toevah
and toevot with “abomination” while writing or talking about
WHY?
Think
about this?
God
(Creator of all), wrote the old and new bible testaments and the Tanakh or
Mikra for that matter.
Revelations
was given to The Apostle John to write, John was in Greece, I believe he wrote
in the Greek Language, while under pressure from the Roman taskmasters?
The
Greek word is “Τοέβα”
The
Egyptian word and meaning
“The
Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews because it is a to’evah”
The
Hebrew word "toevah"
(translated
"abomination" and "detestable act")
is a
cultic, not a moral, term.
The
English "abomination" means abhorrent, loathsome and unspeakably bad.
Toevah
means ritually unclean.
Eating
pork is toevah; having sex with a menstruating woman is toevah.
Torah (Hebrew: תורה )
is a
Hebrew word that means "instructions".
When
most people say the word Torah
they either mean the whole Jewish Bible,
the Tanakh, the first five books of the Bible,
or
all of the Jewish
teaching in general.
These
five books are the beginning of
both the
Jewish and Christian bibles.
Now a
few words about
your president in the end time!
Revelation
21:8
"But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is
the second death."
A
solemn, serious warning about the kinds of people who will be outcasts from the
new heaven and the new earth in the lake of fire.
The New
Testament often goes beyond just citing unbelief in listing character and
lifestyle traits of the outcast, so that believers can identify such people (1
Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19; compare John 8:31).
Revelation
21:13
"On
the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and
on the west three gates."
Revelation
21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth,
neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie:
but they which are
written in the Lamb's book of life."
When you
come into the land that YHVH your God gives you, do not learn to do the toevot
of those nations.
Do not
find among you one who passes his son or daughter through the fire; or a
magician; or a fortune teller, charmer, or witch…
because
all who do these things are toevah to YHVH and because of these toevot YHVH
your God is driving them out before you.
Elsewhere,
Deuteronomy 7:25-26 commands:
[Y]ou
shall burn the statues of their gods in fire.
Do not
desire the silver and gold on them and take it onto yourself, else you be
snared by it, for it is a toevah to YHVH your God.
And you
shall not bring toevah to your home
Deut.
12:31, 13:14, 17:4, 27:15, and 32:16 further identify idolatry, child
sacrifice, witchcraft, and other “foreign” practices as toevah, and Deut. 20:18
says that avoiding toevah justifies the genocide of the Hittites, Amorites,
Canaanaites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. So, toevah is serious, but it
is serious as a particular class of cultic offense: a transgression of national
boundary. It is certainly not “abomination.”
