A different concept of conflict . . .

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.

Disclaimer: Anyone can claim to be a Christian. Check to see if they act like Jesus of the Bible. If they don’t, they are not a Christian. If they do, but are saying things you don’t like, check the Bible.

Was Covid-19 created with the help of Dr. Fauci?

Were the Covid-19 vaxes illegal if hydroxychloriquin (with zinc etc.) and/or ivermectin shown to be effective against Covid-19?

Would Big Pharma lose billions if anything besides their emergency experimental drugs could be used to fight Covid-19?

Did Fauci stand to gain unknown royalties if hydroxychloriquine (with zinc etc.) and/or ivermentin were stopped from being shown to be effective against Covid-19?

I think these are great questions.

Who has the answers?

Reject Jesus? Search for Jesus? Find Jesus? What is the deciding factor?

Who knew that Dennis Prager, Jordan B. Peterson, and me have something in common?

Jesus.

I may be wrong, but I feel Dennis has rejected Jesus as God. And again, I may be wrong, but I feel Jordan is searching for Jesus but as the Jesus Jordan wants to find not what the Bible reveals. And I know I am not wrong, but by Jesus’ favor that I do not deserve, I have found Him or He has found me and I consented to follow Him.

(Do I equate myself with these giants of intellect? Hardly. Rather, I offer myself as contrast to them).

I used to think I was really smart. I worshiped myself and my intellect. I thought I was better than others. God told me I was a sinner and I denied it. He gave me 10 years of Serious Mental Illness to humble me. After 10 years, with a broken mind and life, God offered Himself to me again. I grudgingly accepted Jesus. In His great humility His made me His own.

So why do men much greater than me not find Jesus and God revealed Jesus to me?

At that very time He [Jesus] rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Luke 10:21 (NASB95)

The Father had hidden Jesus from me because I trusted and relied on my own “wisdom” and “intellect” to find Him. I did not humble myself and cry out in dependence and desperation (like a little baby in distress) on my Father and trust Him to answer and supply all my need. After God had humbled me with Serious Mental Illness, I was still evil, still full of pride, but my meager assent to Jesus was enough for Him and He did the rest.

Self-dependence is the only issue. Jesus wants you to depend totally on Him.
