CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Not so classic Hebrew lessons..

Torah in English is sadly translated to "law"...in Hebrew the meaning is vastly different...the root of Torah תורה in Hebrew is hei-resh-hei הרה meaning:
1) conceiving; becoming pregnant,
2) teaching; implanting seeds of knowledge,
3) parent,
4) source of instruction.

“Feasts” in Hebrew is “mo-aw-daw” [mo'edim], which means “to fix by agreement or appointment, to meet, to gather together at a set time, assemble at a set time—an appointment or a fixed time or season, a place of meeting, a signal as appointed before time, an appointed sign”... and here we thought it was just to eat...

Visionary,
After reading your definitions in this thread, I was looking at your blogs. I wonder, what is your definition for “perfect” in Hebrew? Is it relative, as in English? How does it compare to Greek? I'm not looking for an argument, or even a discussion... but your blog makes me curious how you see it.

Perfect is in harmony with God's call... it is like a conductor of an orchestra.. at the right moment of the baton, .. it the moment for that note to be sounded.. any sooner and it is out of sequence even if it is in tune and the note is a perfect pitch.. You have to hear His voice to know..

Interesting response. Then, if someone brought a sacrifice to the temple for his sin at the right time, he was being perfect. Hmm... it really is a relative term.
A while back I was reading an advanced English grammar, and it noted "perfect" is relative. Hmm... I see from the news headlines that there was recently a USA beauty pageant. Those women who were contestants were perfectly pretty. The finalists were more perfect. And the winner was the most perfect.
Looking at a site from Google just now, the author noted there is no Hebrew or Greek equivalent for the English "perfect." I have never done an in depth study on the word, just quick ones. I have too many studies going on, but if I get around to this one soon, I'll make another post.

Our view of "perfection" in English is generally akin to "flawless" or "ideal." We have these terms in Hebrew, of course. Generally, though, the concept of "perfection" in Hebrew is tied to "wholeness" rather than as a comparison to what is ideal. If something is complete, then it is perfect – since nothing is lacking in it.

When you are convicted.. and do not follow through.. did you miss God's timing? Is it the same if you do it later?

Let's say you are convicted to speak to someone about something.. but you say nothing.. and the moment is gone.. Days later you run into this person and tell them... Are you obedient to God's Will?
