Does Holiness = Standards?
 

Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.

How do you define holiness?

Does holiness = church standards?

Are church standards a heaven or hell issue?

Re: Does Holiness = Standards?
 

holiness is in the heart given to us by god in spite of our flaws, cant be bought or earned only recieved from god, since we are human and have no holiness of our own, dt

Re: Does Holiness = Standards?
 

Holiness=God's standards.
Clean heart, and a right spirit.

Re: Does Holiness = Standards?
 

Holiness includes flesh and spirit thus every aspect of our lives so yes standards are part and parcel of holiness.

The two greatest commandments are to love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.
EVERYTHING else fits into those two.
There are not enough TV's in the world to NOT watch or wedding rings to NOT wear or sleeve/dress lengths long enough to fill in the gap if you say or think a mere bad thought about your neighbor!

Which is why I am always asking myself..... Why are there no (or very very few -never heard one myself) fire and brimstone sermons about the subject of love, compassion, and long suffering?

what one does, how one acts, what one looks like, flows from, is a reflection of the Holiness of God in the life of the righteous.

Re: Does Holiness = Standards?
 

I have standards, but in my Church it isn't preached, but taught, and even then not often.

You will have a greater chance on hearing preached about Christian living and attitude than anything else.

we do our best , god honors that and does the rest, aint it cool, dt

Hearing that makes me feel very good this morning! (seriously)
Sometimes I begin to almost despair when it seems that the golden rule is all but ignored in some churches.

Re: Does Holiness = Standards?
 

Will it also shock you to say that I struggle with my attitude some days?

I have a long way to go to be like Jesus!
