What does "When you see the abomination sitting where it ought not" mean?

The Abomination of Desolation is a Biblical term used to describe the point in time in the future when the Anti-Christ seats himself in the 3rd temple and names himself as God.  This event triggers the last three and ahalf years of thr Tribulation, known as The Great Tribulation.  Mark 13:14

The greater point was not who sat there, but how they behaved there - Jesus clearly told them vs 3: (my paraphrase) follow the rules but don't do like they do - they say do and then don't.

It means that it looks good on him, and on anybody else who sits in the church and preaches intolerance and bigotry as they pretend to be better than others, with their self-righteous agenda.\n\nAt least the truth is coming "out" for Rev. Ted Haggard -- just as it did with Rev. Jim Bakker and Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, and others who have lied their way to the top.\n\nNumbers 32:23 from the Bible, "... be sure your sin will find you out".  \n\nHypocrites should also remember that in other terms:  "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

It is a manner of thinking for  example: If I do this, this will result, and people with think it is wrong. But if I do this, this will result and other people with think it is right. That  is kinda where the term sitting on the fence came from. One hand your right the other hand you are wrong.

God I'm sick in the stomach. Disgusted with such profane minds professing themselves to be wise they became fools. Such ignorance has made me want to vomit. God their minds are so ugly I have to turn away. Their thoughts are unsanctified and accursed. Father their abominations will not cease. Their perverted mind is deceived by Satan. Unseemly indecency they have defile themselves. They choose the iniquity of sodomy. Their licentious repugnance have they justified in their mind. They promote their lifestyle of vile affections, dishonour their own bodies between themselves. How long Oh Lord must we endure the tares of the field. How long Oh Lord must we endure this filth.

It seems to me that what is being stated here is that only God (represented here by "Christ"?) matters and all else - all worldly pleasures, are worthless as dung.  All the temporary things will pass away, and to cling to them is to cling to what will be destroyed.  Only cling to God and the things of God, who is eternal.

I would say yes, it is a form of judgement, but I don't want to judge.  :D  BTW, more Christians should read the verse you posted and the verse after that.  It says that whatever whatever judgement you judge, you shall be judged and whatever you meet, (out to someone) shall be measured to you again.  To me, that would mean that if you say, "You're going to hell," you will go to hell if you don't repent.

I would warn anyone who says that it should be literal.\n\nWe don't sell our daughters into slavery (or at least we shouldn't - those on the Jerry Springer Show might)\n\nAlso, Jesus says "If your right eye offends you, and causes you to sin, pluck it out, for it is better to enter the Kingdom of Heaven blind than not at all".  Do you really think that he meant that literally?   If so, then Christians would be a bunch of blind people (he says a similar thing about your arms and tongue).\n\nThere are parts that are literal, and parts that are figurative.  Best judgement will generally tell you which is which.

It's a quote from "Hamlet" by Shakespeare.\n\nWhat seems crazy at first glance (madness) may have a logical pattern or reason (method).

200 years ago some people quoted bits of the Bible out of context, devoid of the origional meaning, to justify slavery and racism. Today some people do the same mean trick to try to justify their bigotry.\n\nAn example - some say that Leviticus calls being Gay an abomination, they quote one sentence. If peope would read 3 chapters on either side of that one sentence they would see that eating pork and wearing clothing made of 2 or more materials are also called abominations. If they would read further, they would see that stoning children and killing animals on the alter is called for. If they would read the whole book, they would find why it is called Leviticus - God wanted ther Levites among the Isrealites to be quite different from all other people, the laws in Leviticus are intended only for those born into Levite families. Leviticus means "for the Levites". For any non-Levite to follow those laws is the opposite of what the Bible really says to do!\n\nAnother example - the word "homosexuality" is only about 100 years old. If you have an edition that uses that word in the writings of Paul, it is a deliberate incorrect translation, get another version.\n\nBest to read just the gospels anyway - what did Jesus say? \nLove your neighbor\nDon't judge others\n\nIn making you Gay, God gave you the gift of Love. What God has made, let no man put asunder!

From my understanding, it's a state of being that our actions, judgments, and pain we place upon others place us into.  That being said, it's a place of spiritual understanding and atonement, a mental place of searching for understanding and clarity, a soul place of seeking to right what your actions put "wrong" (meaning out of Divine Alignment).  The life-review-process, the process a person enters into upon "death," is the first step in the process of gaining understanding and healing from one's personal hell.

Basically it is telling you not to let your 'flesh' or human desires lead you to hell or just temptation.  It is our eyes that lead us to do sinful things...like lust, adultery, etc.  And if not our eyes, then our mouths...like gluttony, alcoholism, slander, gossip.  So, actually it would be better here on earth to be blind than to let our eyes lead us to hell.

"Hell isn’t a place. This life is hell." \n\nSkeptics who say this are trying to dismiss the reality of hell. They might like to think that life as we know it couldn’t get any worse, but the sufferings in this life will be heaven compared to the suffering in the next life—for those who die in their sins. This life is the closest thing to hell that Christians will ever know, and the closest thing to heaven that sinners will ever know.
