How interesting! To me (and perhaps some others), God was saying Job had a 
correct relationship with Him and spoke correctly about who He is but Job's 
friends got it wrong. They said Job was being punished by God for some sin 
that Job is not admitting.

So, why was Job suffering?
Also, did you come up with your list of requirements to meet the standard of 
holiness or is it something that a group agrees on? At one time, the 
Wesleyans felt wearing a tie was sin. Mennonites believe women should cover 
their hair at church. Amish men don't shave. If I were to join Wesleyan 
holiness, I would have to let my hair grow long without styling, not wear 
men clothing (i.e. pants), remove the bracelet my aunt gave me, only watch G 
movies and I think that's it. The rest I'm doing already (which tickles me 
to no end because it is natural to my simple soul :-). Being single, I don't 
even have to wrestle with the birth control issue.

But what if I decided what holiness mean from my understanding of the bible 
in my relationship with my Triune God? Would that count?

Love,
Caroline

What is your record David or
do you keep track?
I don't keep track.  Such is not wise because it is not my righteousness.
Even Job, who God testifies was perfect, said that he could not say that 
he
was perfect (Job 9:20).

Question: do we still have our original sin nature?
Yes, just as much as Jesus did.
Peace be with you.
