Holiness vs Uprightness, what's the difference. also righteousness.

Holiness is being sacred, sinless, blameless .. Separated into God.. (Or sacred and separated to a god in general term)

Since holiness means being sinless, it is the blood of Jesus Christ that makes one holy..No man can be sinless.. even after we have given our life to Jesus... We still fall into some errors. unintentionally.. Rarely..


Righteousness can be of man and of God.. It is the same as being upright..

Righteousness of man means that you do things right with man.. Being right in all ways.. righteousness..

It means you are morally upright, keep your word, don't cheat, etc.. A Muslim can be righteous of man..

But with God, this righteousness is a filthy rag.

That is righteousness of man.

Righteousness of God means that you are right with man and God.. Again, being right with God is God's grace...

One cannot be righteous unto God without the blood ...

In God therefore, holiness is righteousness.. and righteousness is holiness..

With man, a man may be righteous but not holy unto God.
. I have seen very upright muslims.. They don't compromise... etc.

But to God, they are not holy. Their soul appears filthy.

Please stop opening thread of ignorance.

There are many false gods claiming to be the creator of the heaven, earth and every living creature . The question we need to ask ourselves is ," how authentic / valid is their claims and which one among them is the true God "?

There are so many reasons why Allah cannot be the true God :

It is the name of the god used by the idol worshippers b4 Islam came .

He is worshipped the same way the pagans worshipped their gods in Saudi Arabia b4 the advent of Islam.

He could not show any supernatural power for healings , miracles , signs and wonders.

His name is different from the name of the God of the Israelites that divided the Red Sea.

The image of the moon and the star mounted on the mosques tops and in the flags of the Muslim nations is a pointer to the fact that Allah is moon god.

Deuteronomy 4:16-19 KJV
Lest ye corrupt yourselves , and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
[17] The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
[18] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
[19] And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the SUN, and the MOON, and the STARS, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

Seun:



Where do you think the Christian practice of speaking in tongues came from? Certainly not Jesus, who said “do not babble like the pagans”

There you go again with your ignorance. How does Jesus' statement of "don't be like the pagans" imply "don't speak in tongues" is there even the slightest bit of correlation?

Try to only make assertions on things you have ample knowledge of.
