There's a laundry list but there's also a greatest hits list of what the faithful find offensive because they believe God finds these things offensive.
And God may indeed be offended by many things but you know I think He is offended by poverty, the false Gospel of Ayn Rand, people dying of cancer because they couldn't afford treatment, the mentally ill being denied care or even life insurance because they are mentally ill, homelessness, hunger, or people being judged according to their appearance rather than the content of their character and heart.
I think God finds offense in the abuses and mistreatment or killings of His children.
I think if you call a woman a whore and sinner or killer for considering abortion then turn around and say "Those parents can't afford food and are on good stamps means they should have thought about that before having kids." That's putting people in no win situations because they are deemed sinners or worthless regardless of what they decide.
I'm not saying we have to agree with everything our brothers and sisters do but is it asking too much to love our brothers and sisters as Christ loved us? That entails compassion, understanding and forgiveness. Not because no wrong was done but because we both deserve to move on with our lives. Because all parties deserve peace.
Let's listen to Jesus for a moment.
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:32-46)
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellowbeings ye are only in the service of your God.
18 Behold, ye have called me your king; and if I, whom ye call your king, do labor to serveyou, then ought not ye to labor to serve one another?
19 And behold also, if I, whom ye call your king, who has spent his days in your service, and yet has been in the service of God, do merit any thanks from you, O how you ought to thank your heavenly King!
20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praisewhich your whole soul has power to possess, to that God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another—
21 I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning, and is preserving you from day to day, by lending you breath, that ye may live and move and do according to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another—I say, if ye should serve him with all yourwhole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants.(Mosiah 2:17-21)
I feel that God finds righteous indignation, judging harshly rather than favorably, gossiping, bullying, putting oneself above another, putting people down, snarkiness, smarminess, and things that often go over looked in favor of more popular abominations.
I believe that when God's children are hurt or mistreated God hurts;just as a parent hurts when their child is hurt. He does decide right from wrong but the right to condemn is His alone, judgment is His job not ours. God dispenses karmic justice according to His judgments and according to His time frame.
I think an introduction to a man whom Jesus drew inspiration or maybe it was the other way around. His name is Hillel and he was a sage whose life overlaps the time of Christ.
From Wikipedia Hillel(הלל) (bornBabylontraditionally c. 110 BCE, died 10 CE[1]inJerusalem) was a famousJewishreligious leader, one of the most important figures inJewish history. He is associated with the development of theMishnahand theTalmud. Renowned within Judaism as a sage and scholar, he was the founder of theHouse of Hillelschool forTannaïm(Sages of theMishnah) and the founder of a dynasty of Sages who stood at the head of the Jews living in theland of Israeluntil roughly the fifth century of theCommon Era
He is popularly known as the author of two sayings: (1) If I am not for myself, who is for me? And when I am for myself, what am 'I'? And if not now, then when?"[2] and (2) the expression of the ethic of reciprocity, or "Golden Rule": "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the wholeTorah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."[3]
"As Hillel the Elder had stated, whosoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whosoever that saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world."[4]
Hillel lived in Jerusalem during the time of King Herod and the Roman EmperorAugustus. In the Midrash compilationSifre (Deut. 357), the periods of Hillel's life are made parallel to those in the life of Moses. Both lived 120 years (Deut. 34:7), and at the age of forty Hillel went to the Land of Israel; forty years he spent in study; and the last third of his life he was the spiritual head of theJewish people. A biographical sketch can be constructed; that Hillel went to Jerusalem in the prime of his life and attained a great age. His activity of forty years likely covered the period of 30 BC to 10 AD.
Whatever is hateful to you do not do to your fellow or as Christ put it do unto others as you would have them do unto you.Jesus also said there were 2 commandments that were the greatest of all 613 commandments.
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:36-40And He gave us only one commandment, one single principle to guide ourselves by and that was to love everyone as He loved us when He was with us.The several words that get translated as abomination confuse it's meaning. From Wikipedia:The termshiqquwtsis translatedabominationby almost all translations of the Bible. The similar words,sheqets, andshâqats, are almost exclusively used for dietary violations.The most often used but different Hebrew term, tōʻēḇā, is also translated as abomination in the Authorized King James Version, and sometimes in theNASB. Many modern versions of the Bible (including the NIV and NET) translate it detestable; the NABtranslates it loathsome. It is mainly used to denote idolatry; and in many other cases it refers to inherently evil[3] things such as illicit sex, lying, murder, deceit, etc.; and for unclean foods.
Another word which can signify that which is abhorred is zâ‛am. There are less used Hebrew words with a similar conveyance, as well as Greek terms for such.
Abomination! They keep using that word but I do not think it means what they think it means!
