God couldn't possibly demand holiness, could He?

I preach Holiness, Godliness, Righteousness, Sanctification, Separation and we do have standards in our church - just not the Wesleyan or UPC Brand of them!

So God has no standards?

We have really fallen in the ditch here.

Oh, that's obvious.

That Wesleyan UPC Brand is so distasteful!

But of course, you would never mock the UPC right?

Surely you are better than this? Everybody has some kind of standard - just because some do not adhere to the Wesleyan model does not mean that they do not have ANY standard. There is no reason to act ignorant on here.

Not actually any four letter words.

You are implying God has no moral absolutes.
That is moral relativism and humanism at its finest!

Wrong again. Please show me where in the Bible, God defines holiness as following standards. I am saying that is isn't there and that is all I am saying.
