@sonship saidI only noticed this today.
Poor in spirit I believe means a few things:
Not self satisfied but hungry to receive something from the Spirit of God.
Not self righteous.
Not filled up and pre-occupied with self appreciation but realizing one's neediness. And this neediness is not restricted to financial need.
Poor in spirit is hungry and open to allow God to impart something ...[text shortened]... s in a box - ie. "He only cared for THESE kinds of folks" as BigDogg seems to want to teach.
Jack, you're one sneaky little bastard.
