The poor in heart are poor in spirit but not spiritually poor. The term "poor in spirit" means to be spiritually humble, to have a broken heart and a contrite spirit.*
-The people can't go to their synagogues to pray and worship so they are lost and don't know what to do. How often do we do things like things with our minds? We get so stuck in what we usually do and what is normal to us that we can't 'expand our minds' or 'think outside the box' for more ideas?
This is what Satan wants us to do to have a carnal mind which is an enemy to God (Romans 8:7)
-Also we are told that we should worship God with all our hearts, mind might and strength which means we worship Him always, not just on Sunday.
Alma 32:21 faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things
- I like what is said here by Orson Pratt, he helps us really know what faith is and entails. he said,
"There is a great difference between faith and knowledge. I am told that there is such a country as China on the eastern borders of Asia; but I never have been there; I never have seen that country; I cannot say, most positively, that such a country exists, only on the testimony of others I am informed that such is the case. I believe that testimony, but it is not a perfect knowledge to my own mind, obtained by my own experience. And so in regard to ten thousand other facts or events. We are in many, indeed in almost all, instances required to believe without a knowledge." (Journal of Discourses, vol. 16, p. 209)*
