MormonTimes.com: Word of the week: 'Meek'

I think that there are some other aspects to "meekness" that are not apparent.

For example, a meek person may seem arrogant in his reflection of the will of God. Similarly, a meek person may be perceived as violent or assertive in his reflection of the will of God.

My point is that being meek works in conjunction with humility to allow conformance with a will and a value system that transcends the understanding of the meek person. So, while meekness may be a requirement, it is not easily observed in someone who is close to God.

Q. Who wrote "Now the man Moses was very meek, above all men which were upon the face of the earth." (Numbers 12:3)
A. Moses

Joseph Smith's definition of meek:
Some of the company thought I was not a very meek Prophet; so I told them: "I am meek and lowly in heart," and will personify Jesus for a moment, to illustrate the principle, and cried out with a loud voice, "Woe unto you, ye doctors; woe unto you, ye lawyers; woe unto you, ye scribes, Pharisees, and hypocrites!" But you cannot find the place where I ever went that I found fault with their food, their drink, their house, their lodgings; no, never; and this is what is meant by the meekness and lowliness of Jesus (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Section Five 1842�43, p.270).

Where on earth are the two of you coming from??? Those posts were just plain weird. Keep your thoughts to yourselves.
