The ways of [[Balaam]] and the [[Nicolaitan]] are the ways of [[fathers|The fathers of the earth]] like the, [[Patronus]] of [[Rome]] or [[Nimrod]] and [[Cain]] which five rise to a [[Christian conflict|conflict]] with [[The Way]] of [[Christ]]. The [[world]] hates [[the way]] of [[righteousness]] and those who seek it.<br>The [[Doctrines of Jesus]], [[John the Baptist]], the [[warnings]] of the [[Apostles]] and the whole "[[Gospel of the Kingdom]]" were all testimony in opposition to the "error of [[Balaam]]" and the "deeds of the [[Nicolaitan]]" which are the [[abomination]] spoken of in the Old Testament. <Br>Yet, still to this day those [[covetous practices|practices]] are not understood by most [[modern Christians]] including ''[[Home church|home churchers]]''.<Br>[[Christ]] cleary forbid the "[[covetous practices]]" of [[socialist]] programs telling his [[disciples]] to not be like the rulers of [[governments]] who call themselves "[[benefactors]]" but [[exercise authority]] one over the other and bring the people back into the [[bondage of Egypt]].<Br>God told us to never return to [[Egypt]] again, and certainly not through the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and those [[covetous practices|covetous deeds]] of the [[Nicolaitan]] who have an [[appetite]] for the "[[wages of unrighteousness]]" offered by rulers like [[Cain]] and Core, [[Nimrod]] and [[Saul Syndrome|Saul]], [[Pharaoh]] and [[Caesar]], and [[FDR]] and [[LBJ]].

== The hated abomination ==

A definition of the word [[Abomination]] could be "a thing that causes disgust or hatred."

Samuel Johnson agreed with that definition but also included his third and forth definition as "Pollution, defilement" and "The cause of pollution".

It was derived from the three letter root word ta‘ab<Ref>{{08581}}</Ref>

Another word containing similar letters is ta‘ah (TavAyinHey)<Ref>{{08582}}</Ref> and ''shiqquwts''  <Ref>{{08251}}</Ref>

Also the word ''sheqets'' <Ref>{{08263}}</Ref> translated [[abomination]]. They are from the verb  ''shaqats'' <Ref>{{08262}}</Ref>meaning ''to detest''.

There is another very different word that is also translated [[abomination]] which is ''piggul''<Ref>{{06292}} </Ref> from an unused root meaning to ''stink''. There is another word for ''stink'' which also produces the a word translated abomination, which is ba’ash.<Ref>{{0887}} </Ref>

In the New Testament there is only the word bdelugma<Ref name="bdelugma">{{946}} </Ref> which is consistently translated ''abomination''  only 6 times.<Ref>[[Matthew 24]]:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination <946> of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

It is from bdelusso <Ref name="bdelusso">{{948}}</Ref> They are both  derivative of the Greek word bdeo ''to stink''.
