I keep a database on my PDA with Hebrew terms. I pick them up here and there, and write them down for future reference. This has really helped me get better acclimated.

Shalom all,

Much appreciation Wild Celt.
I have been writing them lately to and I'll check those links asap.

While I am at it, can anyone when you have time of course, find the links to threads about Torah and Grace.I believe it was Charles who had some comments awhile back about the Jewish perspective Paul was speaking from, although it may have been you sim_chat, or rather I am certain you had some interesting points in the thread.I just can't remember which thread it was

Torah and Grace, where to begin.....

We think of Torah as "Law" and this sends us in a certain direction. Yes, it is full of rules - law. But a more appropriate way to look at Torah is teaching. The word Torah is a noun form of a root hry which means "to teach". So this biggest message I get from that is Adonai is trying to teach me something about Him. From the "rules" that he gives us, he is telling me what His perspective is on an issue. This tells me about His nature, character - HIS point of view. It is very important to me what He says about Himself.

Exodus 34:6
6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth...

A good word to have in your hip pocket is dsx this is often translated as "lovingkindness", but it is soooo much more than that. But if you just look up this one word in a concordance (used over 200 times in the Tanack) you will learn alot about grace.

Shalom debi b,

I know Torah is law/instruction, I am referring to a specific post here that had some very thought provoking views.I'll have to dig back when I have time.
Thanks you much for your response

Shalom v' shalom

I'm a little touchy on the subject of Torah/Grace because usually it is framed as Torah vs Grace....oh my goodness !
