What's the difference between meekness and humility?

Answer 1

Humility is just being teachable. Meekness is gentleness, they are very similar

Answer 2

Meekness and humility are the two terms which are human qualities among which a key distinction can be distinguished. In certain religious talks, these qualities are tended to. The key contrast amongst these two terms shoots from the mentalities that an individual showcases towards others and towards one’s self.

Meekness

Meekness is a property of human instinct and conduct. It has been characterized a few ways like equitable, open to instruction, and patient under anguish. Meekness alludes to conduct towards others, controlling one’s own power, to permit space for others.

Humility

Humility is the nature of being humble. In a religious perspective this is an acknowledgment of self in connection to God and acknowledgment of one’s imperfections. Exterior from religious perspective, it is characterized as the patience from intemperate vanity, and can have moral and ethical dimensions.

Answer 3

Supposedly, the bible distingishes these two qualities in the context of strength, not weakness.

MEEKNESS is an attitude or a way of being towards God.

HUMILITY is a relationship with other people.

Man is supposed to be submissive to God in the form of meekness, and humble before other men. Both of these so-called qualities are supposedly distinctions of an inner strength. Christians believe that they can pray to be anoited, as it were, with these qualities since, ironically, desiring either of them would not be consistent with either meekness, nor humility now would it?

Answer 4

Humility is knowing who you are before God. Meekness is a gentle soul.

Answer 5

meekness is the willingness to follow God's word, and the ability to know when to stand up, and when to be submissive (generally to authorities making unjust decisions).

Humility is recognizing your place. you're not greater than God, you are his servant/child/ambassador/friend/etc. It's basically keeping your pride in line. It can also be like what Jesus did, and being willing to serve others, even doing menial or undesirable tasks such as washing feet in Christ's day, or something worse in our day.
