Spiritual Warfare again


One more time:

Spriritual warfare is not about people.  People themselves are not spirits.

People have spirits.  And in their spirit, every human being is part of the all-pervasive warfare of creation, between God and the enemy.

But people are flesh and blood beings.

So "...we do not war according to the flesh" (II Corinthians 10:3): and "...our struggle is not against flesh and blood" (Ephesians 6:12).

Political manipulators do everything in their power...and their powers of deception have proven very great...to convince Christians we are fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies.  Donald Trump's saying of his opponent in one national debate, "she's the devil," is only the most blatant example.

But scripture says that spiritual warfare is not about people.

Every Christian makes a choice who they will believe: the politicians they have shown they love, or scripture.
