'PLUM' - defined as follows:
"Not a fruit, or a color, but describing the ultimate degree in difference...".
Illustrated: this can be different from that, but if it's 'PLUM'-different, it is to the 'Nth' degree in difference.
You can be loco, but if you're "PLUM" loco, you can't exceed this in stupidity...
Synonym: "FAR-CRY. Something that is incorrect could not be any farther from the truth than to be a 'far-cry' from what is true.
Biblical usage:
Hebrews 6:12 - "so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE inherit the promises" is 'PLUM' different than "so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises"...
Hebrews 6:15 - "And thus Abraham, HAVING PATIENTLY WAITED, obtained the promise" is a 'FAR-CRY' from "And thus Abraham, obtained the promise..."
It is no wonder the Lord taught: "In your patience, ye possess your soul..." (Luke 21:19).
Being patient is a "FAR-CRY" and "PLUM" different from being idle when working out our own salvation (Philippians 2:12). In your patience, seek to "strengthen your heart" lest you "learn to be idle". (James 5:8; 1 Timothy 5:13).
