When God is declared to be holy, the thought is of all that separates him and sets him apart and makes him different from his creatures...
I wish to know if I can add something to this...
God as holy does not only mean that He is separate from His creatures, but that He is separate from everything, including
all causes.
If it is true, and God is ineed separate from all causes then we are presented w/ another refutation agains Armenianism...
1. If God is holy (separate from causes) then all His attributes are also holy (separate from causes).
2. God is omni-scient, thus He knows everything.
3. Knowing everything, God knows whether I will be saved or not.
4. If God would not know if I would be saved or not, He would not be omni-scient.
5. God knows whether I will be saved or not, because he looked down upon the threds of time into the future upon my faith; He, sees that I will be faithfull, for-knows my salvation.
6. Thus by looking at my future (cause) He knew my salvation (effect).
7. Thus God's omniscience is caused by my faith.
8. arg. #7 contradicts arg. #1
9. thus God is either not holy or your faith cannot be the cause of God's omni-science.
