The meek inherit ?

[Bobcat]

Christians think the meek inherit the earth but in truth the meek shall inherit the land.

Christians misunderstand scripture!

If you wish to inherit the land you must be freed by the son and walk in the law of the LORD.

The land is not the earth either.

Do you or have you ever walked in the law of the LORD?

Where in the Bible that says that? The verse doesn't even say it is symbolic.

No verse has to say it is symbolic. The whole book of Revelation is mainly symbolic, wouldn't you agree?

Some are symbolic and some are literal.
As about earth lexicon define it below; And "Human society" is not one of them

NT:1093 gee, earth
1. arable land: Matt 13:5,8,23
2. the ground, the earth as a standing-place Matt 10:29
3. the main land, opposed to sea or water: Mark 4:1
4. the earth as a whole, the world
a. the earth as opposed to the heavens: Matt 5:18,35
b. the inhabited earth, the abode of men and animals: Luke 21:35
5. a country, land enclosed within fixed boundaries, a tract of land, territory, region; Luke 4:25

The Scripture says plainly that the righteous will inherit the earth/land and live on it forever. How else do you understand these verses?

"For evildoers will be cut off but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth....The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace....The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever." (Psalm 37:9,11,29, KJV)

Your own examples say that "land" and "earth" are the same thing, and people will be living on the earth forever. And you said that "human society" is not one of the definitions of "earth?" Your own listing says that "the inhabited earth is the abode of men and animals." So the Bible does mention a human society living on the earth forever. (See your 1b.)

Any comment Capbook?

Human society refers to as group of people, while earth inhabitants refers to all people or human and etc.

So does "human society" refer to earth's inhabitants. Human society = earth's inhabitants.

Human society refers to a group of people who share a common lifestyle and organization.
While earth's inhabitant refers to all inhabitants not just a small or big group.
And human society is never a lexicon definition of earth.

Human society merely refers to human beings on the earth. It need not mean that they share a common lifestyle or organization. It is the SAME as the "earth's inhabitants." Did you look at you "1b" on your list?

See definition and link below that define human society.
And besides land inhabitants is not confined to group of people or all people as there also plants, animals, some fowls, etc.

A society, or human society, is a group of individuals linked by long-term relationships or a large society that shares the same geographical or social territory and is often dominated by the same political authority and cultural norms.

Okay, thank you.

Yes, only in land inhabitants that include animals, etc. and not human society.
Now we see the difference between the two.
And land inhabitants is one of the lexicon definition of earth that includes animals, etc.
