This is referring to the Levitical holiness code - the only sin called an abomination there is homosexual behavior. No of the other sins recited in this passage from Ezekiel are called abominations.

For some reason, you’re stuck on homosexual activity. And your being so obsessed with it is leading you into false doctrine.

A simple reading of Proverbs 6:16-19 ( https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+6:16%E2%80%9319&version=ESV ) shows that God considers other things to be “abominations”:

There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.

In the end, God is concerned not about where you put your penis. He’s concerned about where you put your heart. And salvation isn’t found in what you do with your penis. Salvation is found in what you do with your heart — surrender it to the Lord, or continue on your path to damnation.

And, again, yes, I affirm that those who follow Jesus will strive to obey him, with their sexuality among other things. But that *follows* salvation; it does not *precede* salvation.
