synoptic ps (not
bs, bro:) :
sin has/had a
dramatic impact on all of us & all we do say feel &
think
<cd>holy is used as nearly synonymous with good, pious,
godly.<cd>
'nearly
synonomous', above, cd, means in context that English strains
but suffers lacking linguistic prowess to transmit 1:1 the Spirit's
meaning (of, e.g., 'holy')--basically, that God is holy can't be
thoroughly expressed, merely alluded to while human
analogies ain't able to capture in the Word's words its essence,
prophetically or otherwise
therefore, by (lack of) definition, humans who require (be)for
fellowship other humans to be holy as God is holy simply do not know what
they're talkin' about
&, while God legitimately requires that holiness, that
holiness that can't be expressed in English, God is
also willing to make (his) holiness a lower priority for
now than fellowship (with him) partic while makin' room for his
love, mercy, grace, etc., in
Christ
(italicized are similar eschatological words to
holy/holiness that suffer currently while we speak of/with
them)
in
sum, while John Wesley & Daniel Webster were contemporaries & also
lived in the era of the profound philosopher I Kant himself, none
of these great men ever pinpointed denoted connoted &
internalized the exact eschatological & miraculous wording & message
of the Bible--they, like us, approximate its truth (partic about
holiness) both mentally (perhaps abstractly) & physically (in
weariness), & since their
day we've learned more about our comprehensive ignorance of such Truth,
e.g., that even our computerized dictionaries grind to a halt suffering
for lack of such wisdom in the essential JC
himself

"Enoch, the seventh
from Adam, prophesied .. :
'See, the Lord is
coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge
everyone..[but]you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your
most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love
as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal
life. Be merciful ..show mercy..'"
--Jude
..ftr,
everyone, all of whom will see the Lord, above, either
enjoys fellowship with Him or don't care about it--as someone said, 'you
gotta serve somebody..'
in this vein,
holiness in biblical terms (of 'holy faith' in JC & praying 'in
the HS', above, as JC did & 'being merciful' & 'showing
mercy, above, contrary to desire of those who don't care
about JC himself) developes in fellowship with JC
himself
holiness is neither a moral prerequisite
to fellowship nor a legitimate Wesleyan theological
legal obligation germane to sanctification

cd: Below is the definition of what Holy means-notice the
keeping of the divine precepts (not to be mistaken with the divine dance)
which are commandments and also I sent the definition of "Unholy"
(ie.sinful). G. I hope you receive the English language-in fairness
Holiness includes what you correctly stated but not limited to
only that. Thanks bro
Holy
HO'LY , a.
1. Properly, whole, entire or perfect, in a moral sense. Hence, pure in
heart, temper or dispositions; free from sin and sinful affections.
Applied to the Supreme Being, holy signifies perfectly pure, immaculate
and complete in moral character; and man is more or less holy, as his
heart is more or less sanctified, or purified from evil dispositions. We
call a man holy,when his heart is conformed in some degree to the image of
God, and his life is regulated by the divine precepts.
Hence, holy is used as nearly synonymous with good, pious,
godly.
Sinful
SIN'FUL , a. [from sin.]
1. Tainted with sin; wicked; iniquitous; criminal;
unholy; as
sinful men. Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity! Isa 1.
2. Containing sin, or consisting in sin;
contrary to the laws of God; as sinful actions;
sinful thoughts; sinful words.

quite
simply holiness[..]is not a prerequisite to fellowship
with JC, it is an eschatolog
ical blessing
