Words like תּוֹעֵבָה (to'evah, "abomination") and שָׂנֵא (sane, "hate") convey similar ideas of actions or attitudes that are repugnant to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "theostugés" is used to describe someone who is hateful towards God or detestable in the sight of God. It conveys a strong sense of enmity or hostility against the divine. This word is used to characterize individuals or behaviors that are in direct opposition to God's nature and commands.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, where polytheism was prevalent, the concept of being "God-hating" would have been particularly striking. The early Christian community, living amidst a culture that often worshipped multiple deities, would have understood "theostugés" as a severe indictment of those who reject the one true God. This term underscores the gravity of turning away from God and embracing a lifestyle contrary to His will.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2319</b> <i>theostygḗs</i>(a substantival adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/2316.htm">2316</a> <i>/theós</i>, "God" and <i>stygeō</i>, "abhor") – properly, to <i>abhor God</i> (His will).
