Why should I expect support? Most people don't have the patience to continue on a topic as long as I have.

Often many perceive meekness to be a defeatest attitude. Scripturally, this would not be true..

I. A MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT MEEKNESS.
A. Many equate Meekness with weakness.
1. Many associate meekness with an attitude of allowing everyone to run over you because you are afraid of them.
2. This is not meekness. In fact, some of the strongest men who have ever lived have been meek.
​
...(information inbetween)...........

II. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE MEEK?
A. An understanding of the root definition of meek in the original language and how it was used will help us in understanding what Jesus meant.
1. Greek word praus
a. Used to describe a soothing medicine.
b. Used by sailors to describe a gentle breeze.
c. Used by farmers to describe a broken colt.
​
2. What do all these definitions have in common? They all describe great power under control.
​
B. A good working definition of biblical meekness.
1. Strength under control.
2. Some Bible passages that illustrate this definition.
a. Matthew 11:28, 29 - "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
i. Just as Jesus the all-powerful took upon himself the yoke of earthly obedience to His Father, so too does Jesus call on us to take on the yoke of submission to His will.
​
b. Ephesians 4:1,2 - "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;"
i. Meekness means walking according to the precepts of our vocation and controlling our attitudes toward our brothers and sisters in Christ.
​
c. Colossians 3:12 - "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;"
i. A look at the context of this chapter shows that we are to bury the old man (submit to God) and forebear and forgive one another.
​
3. Thus meekness is curbing the "natural" desires to rebel, fight, have our own way, push ourselves forward, etc. We submit to the Lord in obedience to His will.

Most people on this website spend their time in the chat rooms and don't bother with the forums. I however, am the opposite. If you were to go back into the previous pages of this thread, you would see that there are people who have debated both sides, but people have gotten tiresome of re-posting the same thing, repeatedly. I, however, don't mind posting on the same subject twice a month, if it means someone will recognize sin is sin, who once before denied this truth.

On atheism, all things are meaningless and pointless. I'm not sure why you would care about my persueing something just as equally meaningless and pointless under your worldview.

Just because I'm an Atheist doesn't make everything pointless, I have my OWN opinion I don't have the desire to let "God" take control of me you're a puppet!

I have happiness I have dreams to strive for I make other people in this world happy and I'm here to make a difference so to me that's a life full of purpose my friend.

Richard Dawkins seems to disagree...

Also, subjective meaning is just illusory.
