And then, when I quote christian scholars who EXPLICITLY STATE that what he is doing is wrong, he ignores them too. He wants to use the bible as a weapon.

| Where does it supposedly say that? Or are you talking about Jesus's quote regarding himself? Quote:
There are a variety of lessons to be learned from the Bible. Quite frankly, it seems that you ignore most of them in favor of applying it to other people. The bible is a weapon to you that you brandish against others, ignoring what it actually says about your own actions.

And because the Koran is false, then you have nothing to worry about or argue about either, right???

| How predictable that you would again misrepresent the bible. That sword IS NOT a symbology of what you use against your common man. The preceding verse CLEARLY establishes it is an armor / weapon against the DEVIL. Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. e. The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: The idea is that the Spirit provides a sword for you, and that sword is the word of God. To effectively use the Sword of the Spirit, we can’t regard the Bible as book of magic charms or tie one around our neck the way that garlic is said to drive away vampires. i. To effectively use the sword, we must regard it as the word of God - which is the word of God. If we are not confident in the inspiration of Scripture, that the sword really came from the Spirit, then we will not use it effectively at all. ii. But we must also take the sword of the Spirit in the sense of depending that He helps us to use it. Not only did the Spirit give us the Scriptures, but also He makes them alive to us, and equips us with the right thrust of the sword at the right time. iii. Think of a soldier or a gladiator in training, practicing sword thrusts and moves and positions. Now, he must practice them ahead of time, and if he is a superior fighter, and has a great fighting instinct, at the time of battle he will instantly recall which thrust, which position suits the precise moment. He will never be able to use the thrust in the fight if he has not first practiced it, but he still needs to make the move at the moment. iv. Therefore, effectively using the sword takes practice. The great example of this was Jesus combating the temptation of Satan in the wilderness. Luther was another example of this, when he came to any understanding of Psalm 31:1: deliver me in Your righteousness. This helped him understand the real meaning of the just will live by faith.
