The whole reason Christ died and rose again is because no matter how hard man tries to obey God and follow the commandments, bottom line is...we are sinners. Our only way of salvation is Jesus Christ. You still will be judged and you should still do your best to follow God's laws because it is good for you and can save you from very hard lessons.They help to keep you walking on the path He's laid out for you without being sucked into worldly ways.

A better question is what do you think God’s standard of Holyiness is?
I will give you a clue it requires utter perfection, see the following verses.
Exodus 33:19-23 NKJV
[19] Then He said, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will
proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will
be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."
[20] But He said, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live."
[21] And the LORD said, "Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.
[22] So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of
the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. [23] Then I will take
away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen."
Next question how can we obtain that? Another clue, we can’t that is the reason
for the cross.
John 3:16-18 NKJV
[16] For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
[17] For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved. [18] "He who believes in
Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Well it depends on how you look it. See according to god's standards being holy is be spotless clean and without sin which we failed big time but on the other hand we are holy clean and spotless because of the blood of Jesus. We are unholy and do not meet his standards by our own merit but in his blood this is not so.
I mean I know I am sinner I know I fall short I am all to aware of my sins and my lackings and yet he sees me as clean righteous and holy

Why not just tell a little bit about yourself and become a part of the community? You have shared nothing about yourself so far since you joined. Your sole purpose and intention seems to be a source of strife. I really don't care how you vote in the poll but it would be at least interesting to hear your point of view on why you voted the way that you did. Perhaps then there would be something that is worth discussing than to just simply put up with your senseless posts.
Right . But I guess, since God sees us through the blood of Christ, then we are holy by His standard? I'm starting to think I should look for trick questions before posting on polls

The answer to the first post depends on how you interpret the question. I voted "no" because no human walking the face of the earth can live up to God's standard of holiness. BUT we can overcome our human nature by repenting of our past sins and inviting the Holy Spirit to live in our heart (as per Tourist's post #6). Walk with the Holy Spirit and you can overcome sin.
