Christ is our example of holiness. He came to earth to show us that this can be obtained. In our fleshly bodys we sin and fall show of this glory everyday. I believe that if we repent of our sins and are truly sorry for what we have done we can do this.

I was involved in a holiness organization for many years and I have to say that having an outward form of holiness is easy, but what is most important is what is on the inside! When people get to thinking that they are any kind of level with God they are being slowly twisted into something that God wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
The Holiest of the Holies is the magnificent presence of Gods' Spirit and when His people cannot recognize Him from a demon then sad times have arrived, as well as the Last days.
Remember, it is not so much that you "know Him", it is most important that HE KNOW YOU.
good luck & Blessings

I feel that holiness is a lifestyle... IT is a way of life... We are not perfect at all BUT we try to become more like Christ everyday if we would all learn to do what Jesus would have done. Holiness is not perfection but we pray and try to live as Christ would live. We are made holy through what Christ has done for us... It is nothing we can ever earn or do.

On our own merit? No. As we seek Christ? I'd say yes...it's attainable. Look at Mother Theresa...I think she was holy. But I'll be she wouldn't have said so.
I don't think you ever feel holy...as a matter of fact the holier you are the less you probably feel it. The closer you get to Christ the more obvious your own sin becomes!!
But we should continue to seek to be holy every day. God calls us to himself, into a deeper relationship with him.

I do not believe one religon is more holy than another.
I believe if someone excepts christ a savior and repents that is holy , also bear good fruit.

yes, we are giving the oppurtunity to do right but there are times when we don't listen and go astray that is because we have free will to do what we desire but thankfully god is forgivening so we can move on and try try again. Some religions feel they are holy then the other but in my eyes as long as you have faith and are devoted that doesn't matter that goes back to free will...god will judge you on you and you should judge what others to that is between them and god....

It's not about what religion you are. It's about how much faith you have during these troubled times. Kinda hard to be have faith with so much hate around you isn't it? Right now, I just keep faith in my marriage, family, and friends. I'm not going to bug God right now with aything. HE knows what's in store for us. Forget about holiness. Just try to keep faith rockin'!!!
God Bless/Amen
