The Fight of Faith. This is the only recommended fight for a believer in Christ Jesus filled of God's Spirit. What is this fight all about? Is it a fight against self, science, brethren, of opposite sex, churches, and religion? What are they weapons? They results. What is God saying about this fight? The entrance of God's word gives light.

Hmm! intresting topic, maybe we should start from looking closely at Pauls message to Timothy, from there we can begin to draw out the precise message he was trying to pass across:

1Timothy 6:10-14
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:


Anybody with valuable inputs?

It's a fight against every single one of your fellow men. Even those from the same religion hold different views that you won't agree with.

That's the problem with fundamentalists. Their view never totally coincides with someone else's - even their own. Therefore, they are always fighting. The degree to which the fighting is done varies - in extreme variances it's physical, in less extreme verbal.

Do you really think God created you so that you could fight against every other man on Earth?

grin Very interesting. We yet look into what God is saying having no regards at assumptions and sentiments. How good is this fight?

This fight is not carnal(of sensory perceptions) nor is it a fight against individuals or religious bodies, not even a fight against that your neighbor you thought and accused to be a witch. If we must fight this fight of faith, then who is the enemy and this stubborn rival? The good news is he's been defeated already. You may actually ask who and why must we fight since he's already defeated.
The devil(spirit enemy), has his greatest weapons as follows; fear, doubt, and lies. Beware! He cannot touch you until he successfully get your mind brood and settled over his beautiful lies that counters God's word which will result to doubts and fear.
What are they weapons of our warfare? Lets search they scriptures.

I thought [b]The Fight Of Faith [/b]was fought when Christians begin to lose thier faith in their religion due to them beginning to question their beliefs or maybe to many negative things happening in their life that they believe shoudn't be happening to them. So they fight their feelings to stay faithful.

Fighting any condition and every lying vanities that are not consistent to the word of God.

@hurebality,
I agree with you.

Faith is the determination to remain ignorant in the face of all evidence that you are ignorant smiley
