Meekness and False Teachers

“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.”
–Matthew 5:5

There are a GREAT MANY verses in God’s Word which–while not outright COMMANDS–strongly suggest the wisdom and good outcomes to be had when the believer is MEEK.

“Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.”
–Titus 3:1-2

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.”
–James 3:13

“(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)”
–Numbers 12:3

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.”
–Colossians 3:12-13

And just so there is NO confusion, being meek means:

MEEK

1: enduring injury with patience and without resentment : MILD

2: SUBMISSIVE

So, the wisdom of the believer living a meek life and enduring injury with patience is advocated in God’s Word. Particularly the part about SUBMITTING to God.

BUT–contrary to popular indoctrination–being submissive and meek does NOT mean (regardless of how many times online definitions change) being a milquetoast: it is also declared in God’s Word that the righteous are “bold as a lion.”

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
–Proverbs 28:1

While not in direct opposition to each other, these bits of advice DO suggest that the believer should be constantly evaluating his circumstance to determine what the right course of action should be.

Which is why the following question arose AFTER a recent encounter with a false teacher.

“There’s a time for meekness and a time for boldness. Was this the right time for boldness?”

What PROMPTED that question was an earlier query directed at the false one.

“After watching you FOR YEARS mislead so many, is it accurate to call you a false teacher? Is there a better word for what you do?”

HAS the reader ever wondered why so many media pieces over the years urged the reader to “Be assertive! Stand up for yourself!”?

DOES the reader believe being MEEK is a good thing or a bad thing.

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
