I'm assuming you found that regulation right next to the other ones in the Hebrew Scriptures explicitly listing the rules and processes by which men can exalt other men into a super-status of "saint".

Let me pull out my Torah/Tanakh and I'll confirm & cross reference those 101 Sainthood rules with the Word of G-d........in 3.....2.......1.......

......wait I'm still looking.....

While you're waiting I looked up the hebrew root word for "saint" (did the research years ago) and the catholic/christian word "saint" comes from the Hebrew Scriptures in the form of Qodesh or Qodeshim. The literal translation is Set-Apart in or those whom are Set-Apart. The usage of the word in the Hebrew Scriptures and within the Gospels denotes anybody who has cleaved themselves to G-d's Covenant, and lives according to the written Word of G-d. Nowhere is Qodesh or Qodeshim used to denote a higher office within a hierarchy of a religious ruling class.

Anybody who cleaves themselves to the Covenant with G-d, and lives the whole written Word of G-d, just like Jesus did, is Qodesh Set-Apart in G-d.

Well, I gave up trying to cross reference the 101 rules of sainthood with the Hebrew Scriptures because they can't be cross referenced anywhere in Torah/Tanakh or in the teachings of Jesus.

It was a joke. You don’t know it’s the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
