Think with me for a moment about people's spirituality.  My favorite little moment is when people either find out that I'm a pastor prior to introduction, or when I arrive unannounced into a room.  Take my unannounced arrival as an example.  Immediately the topic changes, the language looses various expletives--because the 'pastor' has arrived.  Or even funnier to me if conversing with someone who doesn't know I'm a pastor.  After a few minutes conversation they ask me, "So, what kind of work do you do?"  "Well," I respond, "I'm a pastor."  "No way!" they reply, "Like--not you!"  Okay, so I'm not Rev Alden, from Little House of the Prairie, but I'm not that weird am I?

The point I want to make is this.  Because I'm a pastor there is this category assigned me--I'm holy--at least that's what I'm suppose to be.  So, let's go back to this--we  generally have two opposites (which in this case would be holy and the other being unholy.)  People, when asked about spirituality assign one of two categories to people--holy or unholy, and guilty or righteous, and good or evil.   But actually, the  Bible uses two totally different categories.  The Bible sees all of us as guilty, unholy, and unrighteous.  So the idea of me being 'holy' and the average guy 'unholy' is not correct.  The two categories are better defined in this way.  The guilty ones who are prepared to admit they are guilty are the opposite of those who are guilty and won't admit it!  And that, is something to think about.
