What measure of holiness are you ?
So I'm writing a research paper on ..... "Research".... I know right ?
So anyway, I'm researching "Quantitive Measurement" and ran across this on a Q and A site.
Question: What is the unit of measure used to quantify holiness?
Answer: Jesus (Ye) for the US System, and for the SI unit system, the deity, (de) for those offended by the former. One Ye would equal 1/3 de. Standard prefixes would apply, thus we have the nanodeity, microdeity, millideity, kilodeity, and megadeity. Such a measurement would need to be on an asymptotic scale, like warp drive, in order to prescribe a finite number to an infinite positive. Then 777 megadeity = infinitely good = God. Billy Graham sits at about 10 megadeity. Your average pastor- around 6 Mde. The average schmo? 2-3 Mde, or about 1 MYe.
Of course, the trick to this will be separating the very good from the very twistedly evil who only appear good. This is where the reciprocal rule comes in handy.

Re: What measure of holiness are you ?
Does it depend on what we have on right now or how we look when we dress for Church? LOL
Seriously, (which I know it is hard to take me seriously) God is holy and we are not.
You can't get good enough to get God! God is Holy!

Re: What measure of holiness are you ?
We are holy because we have a imputation of The righteousness of God.

Amen! Through the Holy Ghost. When we received the Holy Ghost the very Spirit of God became fused with our dead and lifeless human spirits allowing His very life and essence to flow through us. We are therefore unworthy partakers in His divine nature. We are, through the Holy Ghost, one with God in Christ Jesus!
As long as we allow God to flow through our very being and follow His leading we are holy. When we sin... we are acting below our nature in Christ by virtue of our union with God through the Holy Spirit. Thus we are a holy people acting unholy. Theoretically God will either irresitibly bring us to our knees in repentance through divine chastening (an act of loving mercy) or sever us from Himself (apostasy). But that's another theological debate.

The Only Holiness we have is through the Blood Of Jesus Christ.

Re: What measure of holiness are you ?
Here's how holy I am. My righteousness is as a filthy rag in the sight of Jesus.
My spirit has been translated into his kingdom and that is total holiness.
Inside of me is the Holy Ghost who is trying his best, to bring the mind and flesh into subjection to his will that his will might be done, so, I'm not yet holy here on the earth.\

Re: What measure of holiness are you ?
I rest at 777 megadiety as any holiness I might possess does not come from myself... but from God.

I come from a long line of high holy people.
