Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,A lying tongue,Hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans,Feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 A false witness who speaks lies,And one who sows discord among brethren.”
God loves all people but hates all sin and all sin is equal to God, however, He specifically names these SEVEN as a particular abomination to Him. Let me explain why.
• A Proud Look: Pride is destructive to each of us in our personal life and in the Kingdom of God. Lucifer (the devil) was cast out of Heaven because of his Pride. It is vanity and the one who has this thinks they are above other and more important than another and this is against God and His Kingdom.Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughtyspirit before a fall.” *A Lying Tongue: Lying is destructive to our personal life, separate friends, breaks trust, ruins our witness, and is destructive to the Kingdom of God. Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
• Hands that shed innocent blood: Murder, Abortion, the taking of an innocent life! Murder is a Capital Crime, Abortion is to God, because all who shed innocent blood are Murders. Romans 13:9-10 “For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”
• A Heart that Devises Wicked Plans: This is evil that comes from the devil’s plans to divide God’s Children, cause division, troubles, wickedness, doubts, scheming, and all kinds of divisiveness among the Brethren and Families. John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
• Feet that are Swift in Running to Evil: This person is NOT following the Lord’s Will and Word. They may try to be a Christian but choose to live in the flesh of the world, follow their own lusts, run toward evil sinful things, and give into the desires of their heart. They destroy their own lives and are a discredit to the Kingdom of God. Romans 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
• A False Witness who Speaks Lies: This person is the same as a Liar however, they spread false gossip to deceive others, make themselves look better, spread dissention among the Brethren, Families, and Friends, destroy their own credibility, and damage the Kingdom of God. Deuteronomy 5:20 “‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Proverbs 19:5 “A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies will not escape.”
• One Who Sows Discord Among the Brethren: This person is much like a False Witness and One Who Devises Wicked Plans, because they Sow Discord or create problems, issues, troubles, gossip, and are divisive in groups of people within the Church, Families, among Friends, or at work. We have all seen them. They are trouble makers and cause divisions among people and destroy their own lives, groups around them, and damage the Kingdom of God. Proverbs 6:14 “Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.” Proverbs 6:19 “A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.” Why does God specifically name these Seven Sins as Abominations to Him? Because they destroy the lives and testimony of the person, the lives of others around them, groups of people, the testimony of Churches, careers, families, friends, and damage the testimony of the Kingdom of God. Each one hurts God deeply and he hates each sin! I have seen these people in every walk of my life, they are all around us. They do the work of the devil. Correct them if you can, but if they won’t listen, expose them and have nothing to do with them. Pray for them and that God will bring someone into their life who can influence their thinking and bring them to Jesus! God bless you
