2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (NASB95)
4 . . .for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. . .
Followers of Jesus have a different concept of conflict. Our goal is not to destroy the one against us or against the Truth, but rather that they may have the chance to know the Truth for themselves. When they realize we are not against them, but rather against evil, they have a choice to make. They can listen to the Truth, follow the Truth, and ask the Truth to live in them. Or, they can reject the Truth and go their own way. They will then find they will be fighting against God. Justice will be done by God, and they will find themselves forever without God.
Our “weapons” are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, long-suffering, truth, justice, mercy, forgiveness . . . The “fortresses” we are destroying by these “weapons” are lies, deceit, injustice, hatred of God, hatred of people, and thoughts against the love of Jesus. There is no law against this.
