Because your chosen religion emphasizes works to obtain or retaining salvation, you are incapable of discerning the message of the scriptures. You will continue to filter all ‘spiritual’ issues through the works-reward syndrome.

Good luck with that excuse when you “meet your maker” and He asks you why you just couldn’t obey His word.

Yeah, good luck with your excuses. No abomination gets into heaven.

Deut 14:2For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

3Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Rev 21:27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Interesting:

The call to holiness, the dominant theme in the book of Leviticus,
contains a strong emphasis and admonition for Christians in the New
Testament writings. The imitatio Dei is an ongoing demand. It issignificant
that Peter’s reason for being holy (1 Pet 1:15–16) is substantiated by the
text derived from the passage dealing with the Mosaic dietary laws (Lev
11:44–45).

1 Peter 1:15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

But to you, being holy means legalism and that just won’t do, now will it?
