caww: Why would soldiers leave their armor and instruction manuel at home?

maryz Utterly inept analogy.

Utterly appropriate analogy..... for someone who actually knows the Word of God.

Ephesians 6:10-18 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

Many thanks for the scripture references Metmom. I assumed wrongfully they would know what my post was referring too...forgetting that though some might talk the faith their faith doesn’t rest on what they know Gods word says, rather what they are told Gods word says.... and for that they miss important and significant things God has instructed us in.

‘The sword of the spirit’...’the armor of God’....He arms us well. ;)

We go to Mass to worship; you apparently go to church to fight.

Chacun à son goût! ;-)
