Why is the church not completly holy?

The Church is holy but not completly holy. The church is hokt because Jesus is very holy and is the body of christ and the holy spirit is like the breath of christ. The holy spirit dwells in ums all the time while we are living on earth but the church is not completly holy because we are not completly holy. We are not fully holy because we are still on our pilgrim journey.

Where did the story take place?: The classroom

Description: The classroom was cold but lively with young students, the teacher was barely in the classroom when drama went down. It was like a normal classroom, filled with chairs and desks, but some very peculiar business was happening. The walls were green tinted blue and it had paint splatters everywhere, you would have thought it was an art room. Pictures all over the walls and books on the book shelves, curtains draped over the windows to stop the sun gleaming in. It was a normal classroom. It had a whiteboard, it was stained red because of the white board marker. Surprisingly enough it didn't have children.
