You know me well enough it seems to make up your own mind without my help. You be the judge.Do you think I am more or less prideful than you?
Which is it?
Here is my judgement of you:You know me well enough it seems to make up your own mind without my help. You be the judge.
Okay fine. So, have we established that the meek shall inherit the earth or not?Here is my judgement of you:
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
I never questioned it.Okay fine. So, have we established that the meek shall inherit the earth or not?
Right at this point in time, I am unaware of anything I need to repent of. Not to say there may be things that need attending to, character development takes a lifetime.How many times a day
do you think you walk contrary to the commandments of God?
Now you should know because you are required
by commandment to confess all your sins.
Great. So the next step you were alluding to was holiness. Right? So can one become holy without being meek?I never questioned it.

Do you believe all things are possible to him who can believe?No one could possibly list every sin they were repenting for.
I actually don't recall defining meekness. But my definition would run something like this...I never questioned it.
But I did question your definition of it.
Do you know the difference between the 2?
Do you fit within the parameters of your own definition?I actually don't recall defining meekness. But my definition would run something like this...
Meekness is that quality of character that patiently bears the burdens that others sin may impose upon you.
Like I said. Character development is a life long process.Do you fit within the parameters of your own definition?
It wasn't for Moses.Like I said. Character development is a life long process.
What do you mean, it wasn't for Moses?It wasn't for Moses.
How do you account for it?

Meekness is a trait of the spirit.What do you mean, it wasn't for Moses?
Everything is the plan of God. If not then name 1 thing thatPossible, yes, but only can happen if they are acceptable within the plan of God..
Salvation is by grace through repentance and faith in the blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If the fruit of the spirit are not manifested in real life, then what is the point. The fruit are there for a purpose. Fruit contain seed. Without the seed fruit is useless, and th e seed is not for oneself, but for others . The reality of meekness must be manifested in day to day living. Moses did not show that virtue from the beginning... Not in every instance. For example, in the striking of the rock. He lost his cool and revealed that God temperament was not always under control. But he was learning.Meekness is a trait of the spirit.
It did not take Moses a life time to become meek.
It was always in his spirit.
Just one? There is no doubt that He was prepared for every eventuality, but that His initial plan was, for example, the expulsion from Eden or that He destroy the earth and all of creation bar 8 people? That was plan A?Everything is the plan of God. If not then name 1 thing that
God planned that did not turn out as He had planned?
