good stuff Conrad!
ReplyDeletea cool thing to note here: the "sword of Spirit" as referred to in Eph (and also when Christ is tempted) is the word "rhema" from greek.
"rhema" is a short, complete and powerful statement from the Word of God - likened to a dagger rather than a long sword - and it is used for hand to hand combat (close encounters with satan). Rhema is what Jesus used to fight satan in the wilderness.
the other word used for the "sword of the Spirit" is "logos" - this is the entirety of scripture,--- the long sword --- and it's reserved for judgement. it is referred to almost exclusively in the Bible for the use of Jesus Himself.
satan can quote the Bible but he is known as the "scripture twister". he also stops short of an entire statement making it not quite "rhema".
hope this adds to the great info you've offered here! :)
God bless you,
always,
