Extremely well said Evangelist Jones...thank you for your comments. I have found your words to be true in my own life as I seek to renew my mind and strive to have the mind of Christ.

Ahh ok. Well, the topic is,"<i>What does it mean to "be ye holy as I am holy</i>?" I thought I'd give my input on just that. :)

Not an issue of disregarding the Torah...just wondering why you put so much emphasis on it. I value the whole Bible the same.

My sister, Torah IS our standard of holiness. Yeshua taught it, his Apostles taught it, and therefore we should teach it. Yeshua taught Torah, and He would only want you to do the same. Remember when Yeshua said,"Love one another as I have loved you?" Well, He was quoting Torah... Lev 19:18. Yeshua also taught us to love Yahweh with all our being... Duet 6. Those two sums up Torah. In other words, when we DO Torah, then we are fulfilling those 2 commandments.<br />

Yeshua said He came not to destroy Torah, but to do Torah. Until heaven and earth pass away, Torah shall remain. Has heaven and earth passed away? Are we still here living? Yes, I agree that the whole bible is Yah's word, but the foundation for which the New Covenant comes from is Torah & The Prophets. ALL teaching that we find in the New Covenant started in Torah, and then to the Prophets. You cannot disregard Torah, and expect to live a holy life. This is why my emphasis is on Torah. James,

I agree with your comment..question though...why do you put so much emphasis on Torah...I notice that in every comment you make....everything is Torah..Torah...Torah. The whole Bible is God's Word and there are scriptures in the old and as well as the new that teaches one to be holy. If I live as Christ teaches me to live then I will cover God's standards whether those standards be found in the Torah or some other part of the Bible..Don't get me wrong, you are entitled to voice your…

Most individuals just tell you what behaviors you should display which represents holiness. I also believe that living a life of holiness begins with the renewal of the mind. For me, it wasn't until my mind was illuminated to Romans 12:2 that I began to truly seek God. I wanted to be holy...I wanted to present myself, but I had behaviors that I could not seem to get passed. However, once I began to renew my mind to how God thinks about all the different issues that I had, my thought processed changed and when that changed, it was amazing at how my behavior changed as well. I found that living holy wasn't nearly as difficult as some christians made it seem.

holy means to be separate from sin. God is holy because he cannot sin and he hates sin. Develop a hatred of sin (not the sinner) just like your Lord and savior has (See proverbs 6:16 for some of the sins that God hates) is the first step. 2ndly understand that in Romans 3:10-11 it says that no one is righteous and no can fully keep all of God's commandments which is why we need a Savior. 3rdly There is no determining factor but you should have departed from sin (lying fornication drunkenness…

Lastly God knows your heart. and on the day of judgement he will separate the good fish from the bad fish, the wheat from the tare the wise virgins from the foolish virgins ect.. read in the book of matthew for these parables that Jesus Taught
