How?
What's your experience?

I can't say I think that much about being "holy" as I have never been good at it and I want to smack most people that think of themselves as "holy". I guess it would be more that I try to be "perfect in love". Although some times I can be a bit of B I T C H too. So that is a bit of struggle. But I would rather love people then be perfect. I would rather make people feel like I just care about them then that I want to change them or make them into little Christian Soldiers. I think it comes naturally that way anyway.

Anyone can be made Holy by God, if they choose to. What is holy anyway? It means you are sanctified, purified and set aside for the exclusive USE of God. All Christians should be holy, pure, set aside for the use of God and His purposes. Yes, I strive daily to do God's will and not my own. Human wisdom is so poor and works so poorly out in the world. It is a failure most every time you get involved. God's wisdom, on the other hand, seems to work. I do not believe all this stuff because someone said "BELIEVE THIS or DIE." I believe it because I test it out in the real world to see if it works. It does. Everytime someone gives me advice about how to do this or that, it blows! Then when I discover God has a precept/principle about it, and try it, it works. That is good enough for me.

God alone is Holy. God is Love. I work out my faith by sharing the good news, Christ risen! Helping clothe the poor,visiting the sick, comforting the widow. This is easy to do, unbelievers,do this also. It is forgiving your enemies and loving them that use you,that would be hard without Christ. Loving your neighbor as yourself,not without God.We are working out our Faith,and it will not be perfected until this corruption body puts on the incorruptible body in Christ.
Prayer and the reading of Holy Scriptures leads to the road of Salvation.

Absolutely not. I hate to think that my actions are being judged by some beardy guy up in heaven. If s/he wanted us to be holy and pious all the time, s/he should've made the bible easier to understand.

I'm working to be inspired in all matters in my life.
I do a lot of prayers as well as read a lot about inspiration in different cultures. The book I read right now is from Ibn Arabi. It is wonderful book.... Makes me feel I'm flying.
