Question: Do you still believe that the meek will inherit the earth!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

it was a joke!?
the fair tale you wrote it's been said by the ones
who wanted and still want people to remain meek and quiet,
so they can take everything!.
The meek will just die as the others, inheriting nothing!.

it is not the fact that they are meek, it is what causes their meekness!.

it isn't that if u force yourself to be meek u'll inherit, its that if u have a certain quality it will naturally lead to a state of tranquility and a calm demeanor!.

--------------------------------------!.!.!.
the Taoists agree with JC:
--------------------------------------!.!.!.

"Surrender brings perfection"
The crooked beceom the straight
The empty become full
The worn become new
--- Have little and gain much
--- Have much and be confused

So the Sage embraces the One
--- and becomes a model for the world
Without showing himself, he shines forth
Without promoting himself, he is distinguished
Without claiming reward, he gains endless merit
Without seeking glory, his glory endures

The Sage knows how to follow
--- so he comes to command
He does not compete
--- so no one under Heaven can compete with him

The ancient saying,
--- "Surrender brings perfection,"
--- is not just empty words
Truly, surrender brings perfection
--- and perfection brings the whole universeWww@QuestionHome@Com

What's your, or the real, interpretation of " meek "!. That information would effect the answer!.

There are two interpretations or view of " meek "!.

(A!.)!.One is a person who's gentle, humble, considerate, patient, aware, willing to share and sacrifice on behalf of others!.
(B!.) Other interpretation is those who are submissive, spiritless, at times arrogant, violent, aspects of dominance, self serving!.

So who has, or will, inherit the earth !? Interesting question!.

The earth in it's PRESENT state!. It being in the condition and state that it is now!. Of those two (A or B) who might desire to inherit the earth as it is now !? I'd think (B)!.

The earth with it shifting and changing in direction of being an enlightened earth, cleansed, etc!. In that case I'd hope that it would be those as (A)!.

Maybe those as (B) did inherit the earth and that's why it's in the state that's it is in now!.

What's your interpretation of "meek" !?

!.*!.*!.* After posting my reply I looked up passage in Bible and found it interesting!.
!.
!.!.Matthew 5 !. !. !." Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted!. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth!. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for rightiousness, for they will be filled "!.

That Bible passage goes on to express words as those who show mercy, are pure in heart and they will see God, peacemakers, etc!.

That Bible passage "The Beatitudes" ***Matthew 5 (1 -- 11)*** is very clear!. I've not read that passage in very long while till read your question here!. Interesting scripture to read!.

Yep - because it is the powerful and self-sure that are too vain and prideful to look to something greater than themselves!. They acknowledge nothing but their own success!. The meek are those who realize they need the mercy and help of God!. And only those who find God will inherit this earth when it is reborn!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alas yes hence the need for the newly empower meek, without wisdom, love or humanity to pillage, desecrate and arm themselves with arsenals and witchcraft in the absence of moral authority and greater spiritedness!.

We await the coming of the assembly of the wise and noble, strong willed and loving, who reside here amongst us but are subject to the uprising of the demands of the meek for equality!. Demands that arose only when a harlot was allowed into the fold!. Hitherto mere mortals would not dare to transgress or trespass in Wisdoms Inner Sanctum and temple of Love!.

Why do people find it so hard to believe!?
Look around! The Meek inherit the Earth all the time!.

A small piece of it, of course- six feet deep!.

J!. Paul Getty is reputed to have said "!.!.!.!.!. but not the mineral rights!"

This said, if Christianity is REALLY applied, instead of the silly posing done all over the World, a True Christian would take over the World in a matter of decades!.

There are Six Orders of Power:

1!. Total Recall/Concentration!.
2!. ESP!.
3!. Telekinesis!.
4!. Teleportation!.
5!. Translation!.
6!. Cosmic Awareness!.

These all develop in turn as one walks a disciplined life according to The Gospel!. Any Christian knows that Jesus promised to give cities to his faithful disciples upon his return (Luke 19)!. Gentile Christians allowed themselves to be deceived that this means at the mythical "End of The World!."

The situations that are said to be expected when Jesus comes at "The End of The World" are fulfillments of LAWS which entities of Jesus' class MUST obey!. Therefore, if Jesus comes in answer to prayer, or to acknowledge Righteous Effort, HE MUST execute Judgment- reward the faithful and diligent, and punish the wicked and slothful!.

People who think they can pray should pray first for Total Recall!.
actually, all these Powers have to be earned, or the Devils can steal them from us, because we do not understand, nor accept, nor believe in them if we do not gain them by effort!.

A person who had merely Total Recall would be able to basically pocket Civilization!. He would be able to match and overmatch and artist or scientist alive!. For instance, if someone should think up a superior programming than, say, Bill Gates, MICROSOFT WOULD DIE!. Overnight!. If someone just up and wrote a superior political and economics system that would capture the imagination even of those who do not want it captured, they would be virtually drafted to be Global President!. A musician with 10% full command of his mind would make Michael Jackson sound like a drunk crow with laryngitis!. They could make Bill Cosby sound like a coroner reciting an autopsy!.

This Command of one's mental resources has to begin with recalling the most important data known to Man: The Commandments of God!.
Sin is always the result of ignorance of how important it is to obey God's Commandments, and what they are!. Even the most religious of people forget all this when they want to sin!. When they can remember the importance of God's word, sin becomes impossible (Psalm 119:97-104)!.

When one has Total Recall of one's own perceptions, one learns to focus and exercise the will, so hat it can match and control its perceptions, and hold to new perceptions!. Many people reading this have had irrational or para-rational hunches that turned out to be correct, even though one did not have the data to compute the conclusion, or even to guess!. Very few would suspect that this ability is a genuine perception and so lose control over it!. The ability to image data that our physical body senses cannot perceive!. ESP!.

ESP enables one to perceive how to interrupt Nature Programming, and insert our own code, so causing, changing, or stopping physical manifestations we desire!. Telekinesis!.

Extreme Telekinesis dematerializes the body and enables its reassembly elsewhere in the Universe, and can distort Space itself, creating so-called "wormholes" in the fabric of Reality!. Telekinesis!.

Teleportation outside the Universe into other, Higher Universes (i!.e!. "Heaven") is "Translation!." A person who achieves this is at the threshold of Immortality!.

The next step beyond this point involves a doubling and simultaneous activation of all these Powers, causing a Godlike state appropriate to a True Child of God- not to be confused with charlatans and poseurs!.
One who is aware of all Creation simultaneously, and can receive data from or transport themselves to any part of it, instantly!.

An arrogant, ignorant person would prefer even excruciatingly agonizing certain death than to countenance that these things are even possible to some whom they admire and approve of- let alone themselves and people who they despise and hate for no cause!.

Therefore the Meek stand to inherit all these things, where the proud and haughty cannot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is a touching sentiment but!.!.!.
I always interpreted this saying a bit morbidly!.

The meek shall inherit the earth by ending up six feet deep in it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a Religion & Spirituality question!. Put it where it belongs, not under the Philosophy category!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe after those who take hold of their own destinies have lived long and prosperous lives and are ready to move on!. Then the meek who have been stagnantly wasting away can have the scraps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
