What is the central theme of the entire Bible in one word (if possible)?

Homosexuality is an “abomination” to god. Oddly, this is the only abomination most christians worry about, for other people. What about the abominations above? What about christians conquering lust themselves? If homosexuals go to hell for not conquering their desires, then obviously christians will go to hell for not conquering theirs.

Everyone “lusts” and no one repents of lust, as in not immediately lusting again. The apostle Paul said all adulterers go to hell, so all christians are going to hell!

Except that it’s all nonsense, including “hell,” which was never once mentioned by the biblical god or his prophets in bible passages covering 4,000 years from Adam and Eve to the last prophets.

Human beings eating bacon, pork and shellfish is an “abomination” to god. Of course the vast majority of christians eat such “abominations” while claiming to “love” god, who they claim is the same “yesterday, today and forever” and thus still abominates such foods. How can people who “love” god do something he loathes? Is their love a “sham” because they love bacon more than god?
