Bible Question (short): Another question - Fight the good Fight |
Question (full): Thank you for the welcome. You have helped greatly, by confirming what I believe Fight the good Fight means. Now, can I ask you if there is any place in scripture which supports disputing or arguing your Faith on disputed biblical matters. The reason I ask is that someone very learned told me this is my Christian duty using Fight the good Fight as proof, and mentioning Spiritual Warfare, saying If you don't participate in the 'hostilities' of spiritual warfare then how are you 'fighting the good fight'? This is contrary to all my experience as a Christian. I've always believed that Spiritual Warefare is Fighting the good Fight as you've described it and I believe it to be. But I am a growing Christian of 43 yrs and must take into account that I may have missed this or not discerned it properly. And since I seem to be in the minority, I need to settle this in my heart. I'm always ready to give an answer in support of my faith, but not with hostility. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thanks, Pat |
