"Godhead" is the term used for the essence of God that is beyond description.  Christians believe that this essence is expressed in 3 ways or forms - God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the Holy Ghost.

You don't grow into holiness. Holiness is the act of giving everything to God and living like Christ.

Ephesians 1:4\njust as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,\n1 Peter 2:9\nBut you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

The Holy Grail might exist but not as what the people think. It's a symbol rather than a cup. It won't give you inmortality but it can give you wisdom.

Holiness in greek literally means to be separated from the world by God.\nIf you read in the bible, surely you have heard Jesus said "For you are not of this world.."\n\nWhen we repent and receive Jesus Christ as our saviour, your sins are washed and your life basically becames a clean slate in the eye of the Father.\nTherefore, you are deemed as holy not out of your personal conduct, but rather the blood of Jesus makes you holy.\n\nIf you are a believer, you becomes holy thru Jesus.\nthat is what i called "Holiness" thru status.\n\nIn 2nd corinthians 7:1-NKJV(I am not going to post it because i want you to go look at your bible)\nNotice that it is said in the end "perfecting holiness in the fear of God."\n\nThe bible did not say "achieving / to become holy in the fear of God" but rather "perfecting holiness."\nIt is just like saying, you are already holy and now, you need to "try" to make it perfect.\n\nthat bring us to the second point:\n\nFrom gaining the status of holiness thru the sacrifice of Jesus, also using the same verse, come the term, which i called, Holiness thru intention.\n\nWhen you are saved, you achieve the status of holiness, but that does not mean you can abandon the work of Jesus by abusing your body, soul, and spirit by doing whatever you want.\nBecause, being christian, or a "follower of Christ", means that you need to keep the holiness in you with the help from the Holy Spirit.\nNotice that the verse says "PERFECTING" meaning that you should have the yearning and desire to be Holy, which is also can be translated as closer with God.\n\nfor God, Himself, is Holy. and He cannot be around things that are unholy.  For we cannot see our God by coming to Him unclean.\n\nGod understands, however, that you are not perfect.\nThat sometimes, even the holiest christian can fail by sinning. Therefore, it requires christians to live under the mercy of God day after day (thru daily repentance and prayer). Christians' attempts in keeping a holy life is appreciated and in fact required by God.\n\nDavid, the person that God favors much, fall into the sin of sexual temptation. But, David, then repents to God.\nAnd David receives God's forgiveness and His favor.\nWe can also learn this point by comparing Peter with Judas\nOne who repented, and one who did not.\n\nThru repenting, we achieve, or rather, perfect our holiness by becoming closer and closer to the image of Christ.\n\nstandard of dress itself cannot be a single measurement of being holy. \nWe cannot say one is holy just because one is wearing white suit.\nor vice versa (unclean association thru black leather jacket, tattoo, chains, etc..)\nBut, thru times, if one truly follows Jesus way of life, one will be separated more and more from one's flesh desire.\n\nthru our daily walk with God, we will be shaped closer and closer to the image of His firstborn.\n\nand, dressing more appropriately out of our love for God  can be the manifestation of being holy (notice that i say manifestation, meaning that it can be one of the sign, not the ultimate standard)\n\nAnd, I believe, Holiness thru intention of perfection is\nwhere we are right now, at least for the living believers.\n\nand the last step will be the ultimate Holiness.\nin Rev 7: 9 -17 NKJV (again please read your bible)\nThat's when the ultimate holiness is presented for us.\nGod himself change us physically and spiritually.\nand, Literally, separate us from the doomed world.

i'm sure there are equivalents in many animist and ancient cultures, but i'm mostly aware of the concept of "two-spirit" people in the Native American tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berdache\n\nprejudice against homosexuals is a fairly new phenomenon in general, dating to about the 1100s in Christian society. before that, if they weren't exactly considered "holy," there were certainly a fair amount of christian priests and bishops who were gay, and who wrote poems and songs about it that were excised from the tradition during the time of the Inquisition. read John Boswell for more information.
