Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

Lev 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
I know! You are a Gentile, the church, the set apart ones from all of Israel. Whatever the nation of Israel was suppose to represent, Jesus came and changed all of it up. The Old Testament is now old and obsolete to you. But, only parts like the Sabbath and God's Feasts. It is still good to obey not commit adultery. But you are in adultery now and you don't even see it.
You know the saying, whoever does not learn from history is bound to repeat it.
