Not only is it the Prophet Mohammad, Obama always refers to the Koran as the Holy Koran. I’ve never heard him refer to the Bible as the Holy Bible. For that matter, I seldom here the MSM refer to the Bible as the Holy Bible.

“[the Hebrew word for ‘holy’] literally means “to be set apart for a special purpose”. “ The Greek word used for “holy” in the New Testament means the same.

Too often we Christians use the word ‘Holy’ almost as as a mantra, a religious word which must be uttered in a particular tone, with appropriate pauses before and after.

In doing so, we loose the meaning and the focus. We are commanded to be holy, that is, set apart for a particular purpose.

A good chef has a knife block to ‘set apart’ his sharp knives rather than throwing them in the drawer under the counter with the bottle opener, can opener, etc.

A machinist will ‘set apart’ his micrometers in a felt-lined wooden box so that their accuracy is not compromised.

We are to be holy, set apart to be God’s hands & feet in this world. We are to be set apart from those who punctuate every utterance with “oh, my god (their ‘god’)” or “G-damn” or “Jesus Christ” all the time denying the existence of the one true God, who became a man to purchase our salvation. We are to be “in the world but not of the world.”
