What is the difference between pious, religious and holy?

Question

I think it is to be religious is to follow a creed to be pious is to be very deep in that faith and holy is to be spiritual even if it isent about god? Many Pious people who feel that they are saints arent but many who feel that they are impious are truly holy? does that sound right?

Answer 1

PIOUS (piety)

Piety is a desire and willingness to perform spiritual, often ascetic rituals. It is a traditional virtue because in some religions, it is the only known way to win the favor or forgiveness of deities, that is, to "propitiate" them. It is humility and pacificity before God or 'the gods'.

Pious is a cultural center for peaceful resolution of societal conflicts. Historically, humankind has pursued war and oppression in the name of religion. But the solution is actually quite simple - a pious life is about love, not hate.


RELIGIOUS

A general term given to a specific organization that defict their faith, beliefs, and movements.

WOW, this is a great question, wish moreunderstood this and thought it out. I did for years. and God revealed much to me.
But, you are off a lot. but, grateful for the question anyhow. we can all speak our beliefs. Tho this is a christian site. HMMMM. to be pious, is to have an attitude, and act superior to others, and even to be mean and disprectful often to others point of view. Religious is a term that abhors most Christians. Religion is man made rules. One can obey all the church rules and be so religious , yet not give a doggone about anyone but self. they believe just keeping the rules are what God wants. But, God says if we dont do anything in love, it doesnt count. amen. so much on this subject. could take books. To live Holy, means to live obedience lives to God, to love Him enough to truly obey Him and know that you want His wil for your life. To live in righteouss and love, and obedience. This is holy. Yes, you keep the rules, but not to be good enough for God . as we all fall a bit short there. But, we obey because we do love God and want to do what He says. Church rules dont matter, unless they are in alignment with Gods rules.
In these last days, more than ever before, God is calling His people to Holiness and obedience, and leave the religiosity and pios attitude alone. He vales us and loves us all the same.
Does this make sense? Hope so, Thanks for asking a great question, wish more would wonder on this and THINK. God tells of false Christians, who will live all the rules and cry out to them, and He will say I did not know you, and its because they had a false form of religion, not of true Christianty. What if someone obeyed all the rules, and had not a drop of love for another person? Holy? I think not. Religious ? YEP. Pious? PRobably. when we arent pious or religous, we care about others more than we care about ourself. Press on....
