Then see if ANY of those abominable things are now acceptable.
Is God now pleased with divorce? Is prostituting your daughters now acceptable? Is the occult now okay to practice? Is it permissable now to commit incest, sodomy, and other kinds of immorality? Does God now want you to pray to Him and offer spiritual sacrifices with a wicked heart? Is pride now considered a good thing? Does God now overlook the using of unjust weights?
Of course, the answer of all of these is no. God's moral nature has not changed - and if something was abominable to Him in the OT - it still is. Trace the word out and see what else He finds abominable.

Brother, none of us are question the validity of this commandment against an abomination regarding today, we are simply in doubt as to what is the judge of woman's clothes or men's clothes.
I have no intention of breaking God's law, here, especially making an abomination, my barrier in understanding is how does a man know what a woman's clothes are if he is born into a society where the customs is different.
For those who do not have the law, they have their God-given conscience (Romans, everybody knows in their heart that murder is wrong, it's just that one's culture clouds one's conscience), but if you are born into a society where a certain dress is what men wear normally, how would you know that this is cross-dressing, an abomination under the sun?
