Sinless has nothing to do with holiness.
So, Jesus's sinlessness is not a reason for why He is called the Holy One?

Are you sinless? Of course not. Does that mean you're not holy?So, Jesus's sinlessness is not holiness, and thus not a reason for why He is called the Holy One?
Are you sinless? Of course not. Does that mean you're not holy?
Hebrews 12:14
14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
Sinless does not mean holy!You said, "Sinless has nothing to do with holiness." That means Jesus's sinlessness is not holiness, and thus not a reason for why He is called the Holy One. Do you, a Christian, really stand by that?
She says she is talking for Christ, and you believe her.Jesus decided to make Maria Valtorta His spokesman, and she's not His only one. In post #31, I've shared the findings of professionals who have analyzed and tested the credibility of Maria personally and her literary Works, which lend credence to her claimed experiences with Him.
Sinless does not mean holy!
I think you're a troll.Since you say sinless does not mean holy, then that means you say that Jesus, who was sinless, was not holy.
She says she is talking for Christ, and you believe her.
In conclusion, what do these findings mean? That Maria Valtorta is such a good writer to be able to modulate the linguistic parameters in so many different ways and as a function of character of the plot and type of literary text, so as to cover almost the entire range of the Italian literature? Or that visions and dictations really occurred and she was only a mystical, very intelligent and talented “writing tool”? Of course, no answer grounded in science can be given to the latter question.
It seems that she has written down observations and facts that really happened at the time of Jesus’ life, as a real witness of them would have done. The question arises, unsolved from a point of view exclusively rational, how all this is possible because what Maria Valtorta writes down cannot, in any way, be traced back to her fantasy or to her astronomical and meteorological knowledge. In conclusion, if from one hand the scientific inquire has evidenced all the surprising and unexpected results reported and discussed in this paper, on the other hand our actual scientific knowledge cannot readily explain how these results are possible.
An additional line of incontrovertible evidence (which Valtorta was encouraged by Jesus to include for the benefit of “the difficult doctors” of the Church) deals with the vast amount of geographical, climatic, agricultural, historical, astronomical, and cartographical information given in her work. Authorities in these fields have verified the accuracy of what she has reported with appropriate astonishment. Valtorta accurately identifies this agricultural and climatic information that is often unique to Palestine with the appropriate calendar period which she often specifically identifies. Without any evidence of planning and with hardly any corrections, Valtorta ends up with a perfectly flowing 3½ year story line with Jesus appropriately in Jerusalem and Judea for Passover and Pentecost in all four spring seasons, and at the Tabernacles in all three fall seasons of His ministry. Valtorta shows Jesus to have traversed the land of Palestine from one end to another in at least six cycles (some 4,000 miles), ministering in some 350 named locations, including places in Palestine known only to specialized archaeologists. Not once, however, does she have Jesus (or any one of the other 500 characters) in a place inconsistent with either the story line or distance or timing necessities.
The work [The Poem of the Man-God] overflows with exact data from the viewpoint of history, topography, architecture, geography, ethnology, chronology, etc. Furthermore, Maria Valtorta often provides precise details known only by some scholars, and in certain cases, she even records details totally unknown at the time she recorded them, and which archeology, history, or science have later confirmed.
Go troll someone else.You said, "Sinless does not mean holy" which means Jesus, who was sinless, was not Holy. If I'm right, then I'm not a troll. If I'm wrong, then say Jesus's sinlessness makes Him Holy.
Go troll someone else.
I think it's unwise to blindly follow a human being.I believe her wholeheartedly, from a spiritual, historical, mathematical, astronomical, geographical, agricultural, and cartographical standpoint, thanks to Jesus, further validated by the professionals in the aforementioned fields who have analyzed and tested the credibility of Maria Valtorta personally and her literary works. Below are just a few:
(i) The results from the mathematical analysis of Maria Valtorta's Work by Professor Emilio Matricciani and Dr. Liberato De Caro, where they concluded:
(ii) The results from the astronomical and meteorological analysis of Maria Valtorta's Work by Professor Emilio Matricciani and Dr. Liberato De Caro, where they concluded:
(iii) In David Webster, M.Div.'s chapter "Proof by Geography and Topography and Archaeology" of A Summa and Encyclopedia to Maria Valtorta’s Extraordinary Work, he relates:
(iv) In professional engineer Jean-François Lavère's The Valtorta Enigma, he writes:

It seems to me you are blindly following Maria Valtorta.Like I told you in post #37, I agree that one shouldn't unquestionably believe something claimed to have come from God, which is why when you asked me how I know Maria Valtorta's writings come from Jesus, I didn't answer with, "I know because she said so." Again, I know, for example, from a spiritual, historical, mathematical, astronomical, geographical, agricultural, and cartographical standpoint, thanks to Him, further validated by the professionals in the aforementioned fields who have analyzed and tested the credibility of Maria personally and her literary Works.

You believe that she is the messenger of Jesus. You are following her blindly.Then, you don't know what it means to blindly follow.

Islam wants to kill every Jew on Earth ! if one does not believe that, one is a fool !I happen to be a strong supporter of Israel. I contribute generously (by my standards anyway) to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. That being said, Israel is one of the most atheistic nations on earth as well as one of the most pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ nations on earth. It is a little difficult to equate the nation of Israel with the biblical Israel. The Israel-Hamas conflict, while it may have religious elements, is really just another unfortunate instance of humans thinking that killing other humans is a solution to anything. I understand Israel's position - as I said to my wife, you can't eliminate a cockroach infestation by killing only those you see - but there are nuances that most zealots overlook. It is too simplistic to view it as "God's people versus Evil."
Lots of people claim to speak for Christ, but Christ speaks for himself through prayer.This is the second time you've shown that you do not understand what it means to "blindly follow."
