As such it could be defined as 'the polar inverse of idolatry.' This definition encompasses the full meaning of holiness both for God and for humans in relation to Him. <br /> <br />A more complete description of the concept of 'holiness' can be found at http://nuallan.livejournal.com/49222.htmlNuallainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284752933284385360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-10183573507602329822009-07-26T21:33:51.057-05:002009-07-26T21:33:51.057-05:00Thank you.

Through Christ, God is reconciling the world to Himself, savoring all of life, all of creation with the true 'weight' of the newness which becomes tangible in redemption. The struggle often seems hard, but it always appears darkest just before the dawn.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.com
