What do you understand by the term holy? / myLot

Perfect means to be as Adam was before fall, before he was touched by evil. Perfect means to be alive. If you look into a dictionary it has my picture as the definition for perfect.

But God is described as holy and most holy, if holy = God then those descriptors become meaningless; God is God and God is most God all the best, urban

if you say so. What do the names of God describe? His attributes. HE IS WHAT HIS ATTRIBUTES ARE.

Al-Quddoos (the Holy) is the One Who is Blessed and Pure, who is exalted above all impurity. http://islamqa.info/en/ref/11157

All the best as well urbandekay but in all seriousness I must say as politely as possible that I am very direct when I say if someone asks me a question I will answer if possible but if someone that I am having a discussion with refuses to answer or give their insights I may refrain from offering any answers as it is not a discussion. That was just a explanation. Thanks and happymylotting.

Hi, I think holy means is a thing which have not touched by bad things or evil things. It has purity. It is the spiritual thing which never can be changed. It remains as it is forever. It is attached with the existence of God.

The dictionary definition is: "specially recognized as or declared sacred by religious use or authority; consecrated; someone who is dedicated or devoted to the service of God, the church, or religion; something having a spiritually pure quality or which is entitled to worship or veneration as/as if sacred" It seems that a "holy person or being" is rather different to a "holy place or thing". Etymologically, the word 'holy' comes from the Old English 'halig' and literally means 'having the property of being whole or complete'. It seems to have close associations with a number of other words like 'whole' (n. and adj.), 'hail' (v., meaning to greet), 'health' (n.) and 'hale' (adj.) The original word seems to have meant something 'whole' or 'healthy'. Gradually it must have come to describe something which was to valued, honoured, revered and, finally, to be treated with awe and possibly fear. Holy cow! What a long journey for a little word meaning something completely well!
