From Burden to Blessing: Being Holy & Perfect
The Remnant Radio's Podcast
Exploring the Nuances of Holiness and God's Being
Holiness is defined as qualitatively other, with a focus on God's being and moral otherness. In terms of God's being, holiness signifies that God is in a different category, being eternal, uncreated, immutable, and possessing incommunicable attributes such as eternality and impassibility. This sets God apart from His creation, where His love, for instance, remains constant and unchanging. Furthermore, in the Pentateuch, the concept of holiness is emphasized, with God revealing His proper name 'I am who I am' to Moses, signifying His eternal and unchanging nature. Additionally, holiness in the Pentateuch also highlights God's moral otherness, emphasizing His purity and separation from sin. These dual aspects of holiness, focusing on God's being and moral character, are central themes in the biblical narrative, particularly in the Torah, conveying the uniqueness and divine nature of God as qualitatively different from His creation.
