1. Luke 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
2. 1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God , him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy , which temple ye are.
3. Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5. 1 Peter 1:15-16 But as he which hath called you is holy , so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy ; for I am holy .
6. 1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
7. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
8. 2 Peter 3:10, 11 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness.
9. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The definition of the word holy in every one of these scriptures is the same in the Greek concordance. It means, [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated].
Webster’s definition is “spiritually pure”.
In the first verse we see that the writer says “his holy prophets” so I am thinking that the prophets of God should be “holy” which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the second verse the writer says, we “Christians’ are the temple of God and the temple of God is “holy” which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the third verse the writer says, we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world and we should be “holy” before Him which means
[physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the forth verse the writer says, that He might present to himself a glorious church without spot or blemish, a “holy” church which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the fifth verse the writer says, He which hath called you is “holy” so be ye “holy” which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the sixth verse the writer says, ye are built up a spiritual house, a “holy” priesthood which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the seventh verse the writer says, ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a “holy” nation which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the eighth verse the writer says, the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night, everything is going to be dissolved so what manner of persons ought ye to be in all “holy” conversation and godliness which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
In the ninth verse the writer says, Blessed and “holy” is he that hath part in the first resurrection: which means [physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially consecrated]. Point made.
Well there really isn’t anything else to say. If you can’t understand the scriptures about the church needing to be “holy’ then you are blind and need some eye salve.
Some of you are saying that we are holy because of Jesus and that is true if you have received Christ and the Spirit of God “LIVES IN” you. And IF Gods’ Spirit lives in you then you will not be living in sin. If you are living in sin then you better make some changes before that great and terrible day of the Lord. If you are “holy” you won’t be cursing or making vulgar signs at people, stealing, lying, or cheating anyone. You will be like God, “holy”. You will be blameless, the sons of God. Point made!
