What does the Bible mean by
abomination?
The New Testament word for abomination is bdelugma (pronounced, bdel’ oog mah). It denotes an object of disgust, repulsion, and abhorrence. In Scripture it is used primarily to denote things associated with idolatry and gross ungodliness. The Hebrew equivalent was often used of rites and paraphernalia associated with the wicked conduct of pagan religions. You will be happy to know that when we get to heaven, there will be “nothing unclean and no one who practices abominations and lying” (Revelation 21:27).
