Is holiness truly attainable in this world? I mean, can a christian live for months and years without committing a single sin? the answer is YES.

Do you know why being holy may seem so difficult or totally "impossible" to many? It is because many christians do not hunger and thirst after righteousness, and several christians have not persistently and desperately told God they want to be holy. If some christians use same persistence and "desperation" they used in fighting for important Visas, top jobs, government contracts, marriage to their dream spouse, body fitness through gyming etc, to persistently and desperately ask God for holiness, He may have given them that grace by now.

God knows several christians are not desperate to be holy, they don't really value holiness, and may throw the Holiness away even if He gives them.

If a Christian sincerely cries persistently and desperately everyday for three months that God should make him pure and holy, won't God make him holy?

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled"

Can you back this with the scriptures?

Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord"

What you said totally differs from what you are quoting!

You said:

"Can a Christian live for months and years without committing a single sin? the answer is YES".

So can you support this with the Bible by mentioning one follower of Christ who lived for months without committing a single sin?🤔

The answer is NO..

Not possible

Do men like peace and holiness?

By the standards of the Bible....no man can be holy.

The Bible clearly said the holiness of men is like filthy rags before the Lord.......anyways it's you guys problem to ponder over....I know better than living my life based on some fairytale.

Yes.

It is not easy now. Too much immorality, stealing, corruption, hunger, pagan worship and many other temptations , but it is still possible to live holy because it is not by power , nor by might, but hy the spirit, say the Lord Almighty.

Remember we were already told in the Bible that in the last days such as times as this, that Iniquity shall abound, but he/she that continues to the end shall be saved, and those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.

Man cannot live holy by His power. That is why We have Jesus Christ who help us as it is written in the word in John 1.12, "but as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those that believed on his name".

Also in Matthew 19:26, "To men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible"

Still the Bible has made it clear on several occasions that no man can be really "Holy"......the only recorded man with a very high efficiency rate was moved to heaven directly (Elijah).....if I am not mistaken. .

Wrong.

That's why Jesus came . We are made Holy in his Holiness. The devil wants you to think it's not possible, hence many people will fall by the way side.

This is the worst time to be alive as a believer in God because the arrows of the devil is just too much, so as Christians it's only logical for us to put on the whole armour of Jesus Christ to be able to withstand all.

However, like you said, only a few will make it, and I am praying I'm among by God's grace

I am not religious so all this ur devil blah blah blah doesn't concern me........my point is the Bible has made it clear that no man can be holy.... simple....it isn't something to argue.

And I'm telling you that it is possible. Stop listening to lies of the Devil.

See what the Bible said;
1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

If it's not possible, will the Bible tell you all these? So by the grace of God, it is possible to be holy. We can be holy by doing any of these

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

So it depends on you, if you want to be holy or unholy. Don't project on everyone. Some people believe it is possible

Holiness is God's property so when you are faithful He can help you to become holy that doesn't mean you can't sin again because as long as you are in the flesh you can't be perfect. Romans 7:15-25

What bible verses tell you that one cannot be holy? Can you list the verses out?

Why do you like argueing unnecessarily? Read the post and see.

Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

Mark 10:18
“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Job 15:14,16
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?...

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

None of these say "no man can be holy" (future tense).
All these describe a man in present tenses.

Only possible by following The Original Torah God Himself gave.
But this is not possible with the invented story that a god entered Mary another man's wife, then offered himself to be nailed to the cross by the people he created, to save the same people he created. This story itself is corruption.

By default Man is imperfect. it is part of our design flaw. We are dust.....

God desires us to be righteous NOT holy.hoiness is the exclusive property of God

Righteousness can only be attained by obeying/keeping the Torah..

And who's talking about the future here....or do you lack the ability to comprehend?.

You can help him o!🙂

When you say "no man can be holy" is that not a present future tense? That' is why I have been putting it in quotes since for you failed to comprehend that it is a present future tense.

I ask again....are we in the future?.....mind you Mr deflection tactics would any man be holy in the future.....still NO. Biblically Men would have to transform after the death of their mortal bodies before they can achieve full time holiness.....so what point are you even trying to change goal post to?.....now ooo, the future oooo......MAN can't be holy.
