Bible Question: are armor-bearers used today?if they are is it biblical? |
Bible Answer: Are you asking about physical or spiritual armor? You can do a search on armor bearer and find all the physical occurances in the Old Testament. There may even be one reference in the New Testament of being forced to be a armor-bearer: Matt 5:41 "Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. If you are talking about spiritual every one is to put on the full armor of God (Eph 6:11) themselves. Could someone with the gift of helps (1 Cor 12:28) be considered an armor bearer? |
