“Saint before”, “Saint immediately” or “Saint after the death”?

Question

Is it better recognizing the holiness during the life, immediately after the death using even some of banners, or after different years that the person is dead? Which are the biblical references for recognizing the holiness after the death?

Is there mentioned somewhere that one has to complete 3 miracles in order to be considered a saint?

Answer 1

A truly holy person is uninterested in the recognition during the life.

Answer 2

Why would there have to be a "biblical reference" about recognizing that a certain person was an outstanding example of Christian faith and holiness? Where is the biblical reference about brushing your teeth? Or are you against that too?

The word "saints" is used in two different but related ways. First, it is used to describe the faithful on earth, those who are on the road to salvation. The Church has long referred to these people as "the saints militant", that is those who are still "fighting the good fight" against sin and temptation. Secondly, the term is used to describe those in heaven, those who are truly and eternally saved. The Church refers to these people as "the saints trimuphant". Everyone who enters heaven is automatically in this category. Canonization by the Church does not "make" someone a saint. It simply officially recognizes that a certain person is in fact a saint, based on the exemplary life of faith and holiness they lived on earth, and other criteria.

The Church recognizes the continuum and the interaction between the saints on earth and the saints in heaven. This relationship is called "the Communion of Saints", and is one of the elements of the Christian Creed.

Answer 3

2 Cor 5:17 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The moment we believe Jesus as our Savior we have the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and are therefore saints. There are many scriptures referring to Christians as saints (eg Rom 1:7, 1 Cor 1:2). Accordingly we are "saints immediately". This is not a matter of choice but it is a gift of grace (ie unmerited favor) from God. I do not think there are scriptures recognising holiness after death.

Answer 4

To become a Saint..you must crate 3 miracle's

Answer 5

A saint is a follower of Jesus Christ. Saints are the chosen of God - the real Christians.

Answer 6

Psalm 50: 5 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. (By keeping the 613 Laws) No miracles mentioned in the scriptures.

The scriptural definition of a Saint is "One who fulfills the whole Law, (all 613 of them).

Daniyl 7:21-23—
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of Yahweh; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdoms.
23 This is what he said; The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which will be different from all other kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Daniyl is speaking of a religion that fights against those who keep the whole Law of Yahweh as we see in the meaning of the word saint. The Hebrew-Aramaic-English Dictionary, Volume 2, by Marcus Jastrow on page 1319:

...(my sanctified ones), that means those who fulfilled the whole Law...

This religion, spoken of by the Prophet Daniyl, that fights against the saints, devours the whole earth. The word devour means to take in. In other words, to take the whole world into this religion. Daniyl also reveals what this religion teaches.

Daniyl 7:25—
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts and holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.

This religion changes Yahweh's Laws. Remember, she devours the whole earth which means she has changed the Laws of Yahweh in the minds of all people on earth. That's exactly what the last revelation given to mankind shows is the case for this time period. The teaching that mankind does not need to keep or adhere to the inspired Laws of Yahweh has been placed in the minds of all who dwell on the earth in this generation. They have been taught to accept and partake in a mixture of righteousness and evil, which is the same teaching Cain, being led by Satan, presented.

Genesis 3:1-7—
1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.
4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.
5 For Yahweh knows that in the day you eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods (elohim), knowing righteousness and evil.
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was desirable for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they had sinned; they had violated Yahweh's Laws. Because they had not kept Yahweh's Laws, they were afraid.

Revelation 12:9—
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. She was cast out into the earth, and her angels were cast out with her.

Notice, Genesis 3:7 shows that they sinned. The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament by Harris, Archer and Waltke Volume 2, page 695, shows that the Hebrew root word oram, which was translated naked in the King James Version, is correctly translated sin. Sin is the transgression or breaking of Yahweh's Laws.

I Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law.

Answer 7

It's just a human invention. Doesn't mean anything in reality.
