| Nov 25, 2017 at 23:47 | comment | added | Nigel J | @elikakohen Thank you. I have covered the subject more comprehensively (and more adequately) elsewhere. Here, I must respect both the disciplines of the site and the requirements of the OP, so I am a little restricted in fully enlarging on points which do, indeed, warrant more full explanation. Regards. | |

| Nov 25, 2017 at 17:29 | comment | added | elika kohen | Nijel, +1 - I am awarding this bounty to this answer (though not accepting as the answer). I feel that defining "The Perfect" in terms of romance is a very strong answer, but also invalid in some ways. Clarifying James through Hebrews is a great point against equating "The Law of Liberty" with "The Word of God". But: 1.) Are "lattices" and "mirrors" associated like this, in literature? Weren't mirrors around a long time before? (Is dating necessary for this argument?) 2.) Examples of "The Perfect" referring to "romance" or "lover" would greatly improve this answer. | |
