If the abominable snowman is the biggest, worst snowman, are the sins the Bible calls “abominations” the biggest, worst sins?
In our bi-weekly Bible study, What Does the Bible Say About Gay?, we’re digging through history, language, culture, and law to find out why the Bible says what it says about homosexuality.
Last week we discussed two passages in Leviticus:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22)
“If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.” (Leviticus 20:13)
These verses have been scrawled on protest signs, shouted at demonstrations, and preached from pulpits… usually in an attempt to remind gays of their abominable state. But is it possible that an “abomination” might not be the snowman of sins?
You can find out more by reading an outline from our last discussion. Click here to read the notes.
Join us on October 29 for our next Bible study! Details will be posted here next week.

as a classic Rudolph fan, I have to point out the abominable snowman is also referred to rather affectionately as “The Bumble” and the whole narrative ends with the Bumble entering the warm communal embrace of a repentant Santa, elves and reindeer…
I really want to come for this one, I’ll see if I can work it out with Brent. The concept of abomination is so tied to concepts of taboo and categorical purity–which of course is very relevant to that cyborg stuff I keep bugging everyone with…

Nice reference to the Bumble! Hermey and his misfit toy friends would be proud!
Sadly, though, these are the notes from last week’s study so folks can review what we talked about. Next week we’ll be talking about Romans 1:18-23. We’ll be building off the “abominable” issues in Leviticus, though, so they’re similar discussions. PLUS, we’ll be talking about goddess worship. If that’s not iincentive, I don’t know what is!
whoo! the cyborg goddess is IN. you couldn’t pay me to stay away!
