  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The MEEK that are blessed!

Beloved ones, we heard:

“Blessed are the MEEK,
For they shall inherit the earth.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Meek is defined by Oxford language as quiet, gentle, and easily imposed on; submissive.

So we perceive and understand those are submissive are blessed.

To whom we should be submissive to ? This is what we have heard:

“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with MEEKNESS the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Meekness is defined by Oxford language as the fact or condition of being meek; submissiveness

So the fact or condition of being meek is that we should receive the engrafted word. Or in other words, we should be submissive to the engrafted word, who is Christ whom the Father sent and the Holy Spirit testified.

So we who submit to the engrafted word are blessed, for we shall inherit the earth.

How we may perceive and understand that we inherit the earth ?

This is what we have heard:

“And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; and when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: some fell upon stony places, where they had not much EARTH: and forthwith they sprung up, because they HAD NO DEEPNESS OF EARTH:”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:3-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

How we may perceive and understand the earth that our Lord spoke? This is what we have heard our Lord explained:

“Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away THAT WHICH WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, THE SAME IS is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:18-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So the earth that the Lord spoke is the heart.

This is what we also heard what apostle Peter said:

“but let it be the hidden man of the HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a MEEK and quiet SPIRIT, which is in the sight of God of great price.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So we who inherit the earth — we who inherit the hidden man of the HEART, in that which is not corruptible who is Christ, the engrafted word.

For we heard,”Blessed are the MEEK,
For they shall inherit the earth.”Therefore we who receive the engrafted word who is Christ are blessed.

For we also heard Holy Spirit said :

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So let our hearts be ornated with a MEEK and quiet Spirit, that the Holy Spirit writes in our hearts the engrafted word, which is in the sight of God of great price.

So the meek or the ones who submit to the engrafted word are blessed, for they inherit the earth, that they inherit the hidden man of the heart who is Christ.

So let us submissive to Christ’s words, that we may be blessed, for we shall inherit Christ.

For we heard:

“The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭24:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So let our hearts be the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.

So His words reign our hearts, that Christ reigns our hearts, that we submit ourselves to the king of our hearts.

So the meek are blessed because Jesus Christ our King reign our hearts, for we inherit the earth through Jesus Christ our King and priest, that we inherit the heart of our King and priest that we submit to God.

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.Amen

God from beginning to end tells us to put His will first, not ours. Jesus says the children will inherit the Kingdom, simply because they are followers and not leaders. Hence this meekness. Man from beginning to end will still try and put our will first and lead us into and on in the world we have make in our own image. No Kingdom for them.

I have a definition of meek such as: non-violent, tame, not mad, but not weak.

There is an appropriate time for silence and another time to use a loud voice. Jesus nicknamed James and John Zebedee, “Boanerges” meaning “Sons of Thunder” Mark 3:17. This John is supposed to be the one who wrote the fourth Gospel. In Acts Herod beheaded James and then arrested Peter. Peter was delivered by a miracle.

Beloved one, when you talk of man — are you talking about the first man or the second man.

For we heard :
“The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

If we are of the second man, we are heavenly so we bear the image of the heavenly man.

For we heard:
“As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:48-49‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To God be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Beloved one, we heard:

“Seek ye the LORD, all ye MEEK of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.”
‭‭Zephaniah‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We heard that we who seek the Lord, we all can be considered MEEK of the earth.

We also heard that the MEEK of the earth who have wrought His judgement, that is, that we have worked His justice. So we are considered to have worked His righteousness is we who seek Him.

So let us seek God’s righteousness and let us seek our Lord’s meekness.

Yes, let us seek God’s righteousness through faith in Christ Jesus and let us seek Jesus’s meekness, that it may be we all shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen

Mankind. Human beings as a whole.
Beloved one, consider what we have heard:
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬
‭‭
Thus, spiritually we judge thus, then mankind or human beings as a whole or the first man were all dead.

If they live, henceforth they should live unto themselves but unto him which died for them, and rose again, for the love of Christ constrained us.

So let us bear the image of the second man, that we obey Him, that we submit ourselves to God’s righteousness through faith in Christ Jesus.

To God be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ. Amen.

Meek = Humble. What is the opposite of being meek or humble, prideful. And pride is the deadest of all sins.
If we are humble, we submit to God’s righteousness— that is the facts or the conditions that we are meek.

But those who are prideful because they do not submit to God’s righteousness but they take pride of the riches of their own righteousness, that they forget God who delivered them out of bondage through Christ.
