I accept as fact that God likes humans, that is, he gets entertainment from us. However since he gave us free will there is always contention until we humans give that free will back to him, not to other humans, but to him, then we will always be able to do the right things. This is not hard once a person refuses to believe the anti-christs stance that we cannot ever do the right things because God created us flawed. He didn't you know.

i do not think i understand everything you are trying to say and ask...
Jesus is not an abomination, and we are not created to be one either......God said everything he made was "good" in the genesis account...so we start out ok...
sin is rebellion against god..and some sins are called abominations...these are repeated, willful serious acts of sin... like in murder...with the intent of disrepecting and rejecting god...
there are errors we all make, and there are feelings we have but do not act on them, out of respect for god...these are not abominations...we all struggle with our earthly natures... the struggle is not an abomination... just the willful intent to do evil ...when we do evil and are NOT sorry, then that is wrong...if we are sorry, we are forgiven....

First, if you believe in an all-powerful and all-knowing god, you don't have free will. If god knows everything, then the outcome of every single decision anyone could ever make is already known, which means it will always happen the way god knows it will, which means there is no such thing as free will. Your god already knows what you're going to do, it's impossible for you to do otherwise (since that would mean he doesn't know everything) -- if it's impossible for you to do something different than he already knows, then the free will is impossible.
Second, what is an "abomination" to god changes depending on the god, the society, the time in history, etc. Read your old testament -- according to Leviticus, it's an abomination to god for a woman having her period to show herself to anyone...she's supposed to hide herself away in her house the whole time, and not be touched by anyone. I don't see any christians doing this today, yet the bible clearly says to not do this is an abomination. Why the change? Our recognition of the rights of women as human beings instead of property, perhaps? Which means (gasp!) the bible was wrong about women having their periods being an abomination?
Gee, I guess that means that all those other things that are called abominations (like homosexuality) are subject to change according to society's evolution as well, huh?
It's all just superstition and ancient myth. You're trying to live in society in 2007 based on rules made up by goat herders 3-4 thousand years ago, when people were afraid of thunder. Time to get a clue :)

No, we aren't all abominations. Do you have kid's? Would you call any of them abominations? Nah, of course you wouldn't. Well niether would God say that about any of his children.
Oh he might say "Oy ve! those kid's! Why do they fight so much? Why are they always causing so much trouble? Why do they keep making such a mess of this place?"
But if anyone was to ask him those exact same questions he'd probably say something like.
"Yeah I know, but have you seen how angelic they look when they're sleeping?"

No, all humans aren't abominations, read the 10 commandments and i mean read them and try to understand their true meanings. Some sins were created by mans mind.

I don't really think you are asking an honest question, I think you are trying to push your own beliefs.... the honest answer to the question and not the other comments is this...
An abomination according to God, doesn't everyone but Jesus fit that label?
Yes everyone is a sinner. None of us do right all the time, we are all sinners... that's why we need Jesus.

An abomination is a sin worst than the wrest.Homosexuality and beastiality are a couple.
