OFFERINGS TO THE LORD WHICH ARE DETESTABLE
Many times we bring offerings to the Lord which are detestable as due to the sources that we have got this money from.
The amount you bring to the house of the Lord may be much or little but as long as the source from which you got that money is not from a straight manner of administration.. that offering will surely be detestable before the Lord .
If it is stolen money, it will be detestable to the Lord
If it is money got out of a corrupt deal it will be detestable to the Lord
The Lord demanded that wages from female prostitution and earnings from male prostitution shouldn’t be brought to the house of the Lord lest it will be detestable to the Lord
Deuteronomy 23:17-18[17]There shall be no cult prostitute among the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a cult prostitute (a sodomite) among the sons of Israel.[18]You shall not bring the hire of a harlot or the price of a dog (a sodomite) into the house of the Lord your God as payment of a vow, for both of these [the gift and the giver] are an abomination to the Lord your God.
