I don't understand how you don't see that it was an abomination to God. God doesn't have to say everything specifically to let His people know that it was an abomination Him or not. He doesn't say that smoking is wrong in the Bible, but He implies it when He speaks about taking care of your temple. To me it is obvious that it was an abomination to God to eat of those animals, because whenever He described the unclean from the clean, He called the unclean abominable. He told His children not to eat of the abominable beasts. Therefore if God looks at something and calls it abominable, and you partake of it, then you are abominable in God's eyes. Why can't you see that? When God looked at those animals He saw them as an abomination to eat. Don't get the impression that I'm saying that God thinks what He created was an abomination, it was just eating of it that was.

Lev 11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

He clearly calls these animals an abomination! Please understand I'm not trying to prove you wrong in all of this, but as I said before I'm trying to make it my own. I will ask that you be open to my opinion just as much as I am open to yours. Please don't read my posts with a closed mind (I'm not saying that you are). When I read your responses, I really do have an open mind to your opinion, and I respect it, but I just can't get over this one roadblock. I'm not trying use this point to say that cross - dressing is acceptable in God's sight. I do not believe it is as I've already said. I just believe that when scripture is stating this point that it also involves the heart as well. For example a transvestite would be an abomination. Because of the heart behind it.
