From "Onward Christian Soldiers" in the 19th century to "BattleCry" (an Evangelical youth thing) today?

Well, they switched "slaves of Christ" in the KJV to "servants of Christ" in the newer editions. I guess the next step will be "gladiators for Christ" and they'll put all of us in internment camps.

i do no longer be conscious of if I even be conscious of somewhat how stable my faith is. i think in God. I cling onto him for the time of trials and tribulations for it rather is Him on my own who can see me appropriately via. God is my rock. How do I save my faith stable? ummm.. unsure.. I continuously attempt to stay useful. I seek for the convenience from God whilst i'm feeling vulnerable.

They think they're at war. And they are. They are waging a war on freedom. Look at the invasion of Iraq to spread "religious freedom" or the ban on legal recognition of gay relationships to "protect marriage." DuBois once said Christians define freedom by who they can deny it to and who they can own. I don't think you could put it any better than that.
I'm often amazed at George Bush's claim about the "freedom loving people of America." And in the same sentence he claims that gays should be banned from any civil protections and marriage without a hint of the irony he is using. It'd be funny if he were not hurting so many people. But people at war with their own country see the enemy everywhere--especially when they are trying to please an imaginary being.

I say it's time we fought back for our freedoms. The time for tolerance of this foolishness is over. Lock and load. It's time for war. It's time to put an end to those religious nuts who hate freedom and hate America.

I've never heard of those terms before. However, spiritual warfare is something believers, who are truly living their lives for God, encounter on a regular basis. Spiritual warfare refers to the "battle" we face against the Enemy (Satan). When a Christian is growing in his or her relationship with God it infuriates the devil, so he'll do anything he can to interfere with that growing process. The last couple weeks I've really been growing in my walk, but my ex contacted my this past Saturday and that caused me a lot of pain. This is just one of the many examples of the Enemy's attacks. Therefore, God has advised His followers to arm themselves with the full armor of God in order to equip themselves for any battles with the Devil. It's a metaphor God uses to illustrate the importance of being prepared for any attack the Enemy throws our way.

It's been a military movement since the 4th century.

We are fighting a battle, but it's not against anything physical. We're not fighting against people, countries, or things. It's spiritual.

It is a spiritual war. There are many places in the bible that talks about spiritual warfare but I will just give one example.....Ephesians 6:10-18.

I think Kori explained this very well and true. It is hard to explain to people who don't want the truth and hunt things to counter act them, when there is NO way.

Because it's a spiritual war. Christians don't want to hurt people they want to save people and their souls. They look at it as a war between good and evil...
