Unbelievable

[Drich]

I responded to this statement about what Jesus supposedly said:

He has spoken to me. I could only become an anti-Christ at this point. I had long misunderstood what Jesus meant by "the meek shall inherit the Earth", because I understood the word, "meek", to be along the lines of submissive, yielding, gentle but in regards to my relationship with fellow humans. What he meant was that those who are formed by God will inherit the Earth. So blessed are those that can be molded by God.

I didn't see The Meek/Anti Christ thing as a quote from Christ..

To be identified as the Anti Christ because one does not have one particular understanding of a single word or act is not... "Christ like" (I don't like the term as it is far too often used as a way to manipulate people tring to do the right thing.)

But, here it applies. Christ is many different instances called his diciples "Dummies" or rather the first century version of 'Dummy' when they did not understand a principle or idea. Then He corrected them. Never an 'Anti Christ.' Heck even look at how he met and dealt with Judas the night of his betrayal.. Still he did not identify him as an anti Christ.

I thought those were just observations made by the OP after Jesus said what was said. Rather his own commentary about what was actually said.

I do to a degree with his defination of Meek. For me 'Meek and Humble before God are the same. In that a Humble man can be molded into whatever role God would have Him play. The same too is true for the Meek man. and the two also share in humility toward God, which they will no doubt reap a reward from.

Where we differ is the humility toward our fellow man.

I take the stance to humble myself before God because This is our single most greatest command. However our Greatest commands do not stop there. we also Have 'Love your neighbor as your self.' Which also speaks to Humbling yourself to your neighbor is a way that you yourself would approve of.

That said when we then look at the verse "The meek shall inherit the earth, we must also look at everything else Jesus actually said in the bible concerning the topic, and make sure it all jives together.

Therefore in light of our greatest command (Love God with all you being and your neighbor as your self) then weigh that in with the statment 'The meek shall inherit the earth.' a very clear picture of whom Jesus is identifying as 'meek' appears. It is as the OP suggests, but it also includes a servant of his fellow man. Much like Christ was.
With this:

The interesting thing is that you don't all come back with the same understanding of what he said. For example your understanding of what was meant by meek, isn't exactly mainstream, and others who say they have encountered god, say other things, even about that every verse. Yet other have an encounter with Allah.

'Mainstream' doesn't really have any hold or say with God. The Pharisees and Saducees were 'Mainstream' in Christ's day, and they didn't have it right.. Not even close.

So Dritch, do you agree with Dontsaygoodnight?

More or less.

Are you having problems viewing the thread, or was that intended as loaded rhetoric?

He doesn't read any better than he spells.

-Or as Stimmy pointed out 'loaded rhetoric.' (A chance to soap box)

---

Did anyone ask what did he say yet?

We ain't interested, you can go ask him if that floats your boat.

Then are you apart of a thread who's subject matter centers around What Jesus said to someone? If you are truly not intrested.
