Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit? ??? by edogho(m): 10:12am On Dec 11, 2016 |
Matthew 5:3 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. i think being poor in spirit is synonymous with ignoring and not developing your spirituality. I would rather be rich spiritually. What thinks you friends? 4evergod, Muafrica, ScidnceWatch n others come o Abeg.. |

“Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever]. MAT 5:3 (Amplified) Get a better understanding of what you don't know before opening your mouth to spit trash/Typing rubbish. I guess you did this just to grace the Frontpage Cuz the owner of the forum is an Atheist. Smh Na so many of you dey fail exams 4 Likes |

vizkiz: Poor you. Is it safe to say ur definition of " poor in spirit" is : Those who are not spiritually ignorant and see them selves as insignificant I.e nothing? Dis definition here escapes me. Mind u, I'm no atheist. |

Petros45: Rich in spirit would suffice in that case, not "poor". Don't tell me u don't know poor means lack? |

edogho: This verse can be interpreted as, " blessed are the poor in their soul content, for theirs is the kingdom of God". Man is an accumulation of knowledge of which most are destructive to his soul/spiritual life. Shading these knowledge for the knowledge that will build you up for God's kingdom means your poor of the previous knowledge you have but rich in the knowledge that lead to heaven. Sketchy explanation |

edogho: OP when you realize you have no food in your stomach this translates to being hungry and then you would have a desire to feed. However you would not just eat anything, you would eat something satisfying and filling. This is what the scripture is talking about when it said poor in spirit. When you realize you need to be fed and are empty. However only the spiritual can satisfy the spiritual and when you eat the perfect spiritual meal, your spirit would know. It speaks about spiritual humility and spiritual hunger for God. 1 Like |

edogho: This is very deep. The word "rich" here is used in reference to a spirit that is also referred to as "fattened" in the spirit. You know the story of the prodigal sons? It depicts a spiritual reality. There are two kinds of spirit on the earth. One is loaded with spiritual attributes that enable a person to posses spiritual power and more often, such persons use it for vain things. THAT is the rich spirit. They know God but choose rebellion. The prodigal son here. Then there is a second kind of spirit that is born into the earth without that kind of human power, they are poor in spirit. They easily seek after the power of God and keep the faith. Some may not yet be believers, but they are easily converted. They are the son that stayed with the father, had no spiritual riches of their own, and did not ask for their inheritance like the prodigal son did. Some atheists here may fall in the first kind of persons. Not that they don't know God, but their spirit is haughty and full of pride. Which one are you? |
