How about a quick lesson in what being meek means?
It doesn't mean what a lot of people think.
You may know already, but there are people reading along - I've been told.

The meek shall possess the land
Psalm 37:1-11

The meek
have a spirit of gentleness
and self-control
they have no malice in them
they are not mean to others
BUT
They are strong of character
Because they understand their worth is in God
They are resourceful
As Moses Numbers 12:3

They do not exploit others
They do not oppress
They do not seek vengeance
They are not violent
They do not seek power for their own purposes

They have emulated the nature of Jesus and learned from Him
Jesus was not weak, but strong
They are able to respond, as He did, to the needs of the weak and oppressed

THEY SHALL INHERIT THE LAND
Possessing the land signified more in the O.T. than just owning land, or a country (The Promised Land)
It signified a sense of place, a sense of belonging
It signified security = An inheritence from God / a place and security

Also understood to be The New Earth
It will not be inherited by the powerful and the cruel
But By The Meek.

We become meek by following the Holy Spirit.

Sorry KevinK.
I love the beatitudes. This is from my notes.

Me am Kevin, and for me the true meaning of meekness is found in a mystifying quote from the great karate master Gichin Funakoshi, who wrote, ''You must become not strong but weak". I only began to understand what this meant after advancing through the ranks a bit.
 
Hi thesaintman; How are you liking this special thread?

It's good to see you with your own thread that can incorporate all your questions, and it doesn't get buried without replies. Be sure to "Ask" new questions in these individual posts as we proceed such as I did above instead of the way you were doing it by making your question the title of new threads.

Prayerfully the problems of remembering what you asked yesterday may be solved as you're able to look back through these posts and recall them.

Here Saintman - munch on this:

1. No baby creation.
Babies are made with stuff that already exists.
"Creation" means to make something from NOTHING.

Which is why we say God CREATED. There was NOTHING available to Him when He Created - He created out of NOTHING.

2. Telepathy
Yeah. Good. It happens. I know what my husband is thinking before he says it. Is this telepathy to you?
OR, do you mean I could know what the stranger sitting two rows behind me in a movie theater is thinking?
Well, no - that's not possible. That would require your no. 4.

3. You need to eat. Sorry - you're going to have to explain a bit more. I'm more than 10 years old and I STILL have to eat. I wouldn't mind stopping if you know a way - it would save a lot of money on groceries!!
(do you know the story of the donkey?)

4. Not possible Saintman. It ain't happenin'. I do believe Jesus will be coming back before we ever get to that point. Did you see Lucy? I love science fiction - but that's all it is.

Please answer re the eating thing...

Difficult to say Saintman. No one has ever seen it!
We also haven't seen hundreds of other colors.
When we get to heaven, we'll be able to see them...

Me an Wondering.
Meek = Humble
Same difference.
I quoted Numbers 12:3
Moses was humble and meek but strong.

I like Me Kevin's post re that quote.by Funakoshi.
"You must become not strong but weak."

There is strength in weakness.
One must be a strong person to have enough faith in one's self and in God, to be able to be weak (and not fight for that top spot all the time).
