Just as Iblis and his forces have a voice and control way of influencing our souls, so does the light of God in this world have a way to communicate and be with you.
Pick up the sword of God with you and let it teach you wonders.
Boy you don't even see you sound EXACTLY like any fundy Christian I've run into.
"Sword" is a weapon, weapons are used to commit acts of violence. I hate violence, I have no desire to buy any claim of any religion that thinks peace is obtained through forced submission at the point of a weapon. That is not diplomacy, that is what bullies do.
No, I do not worship bullies nor would I "pick up a sword" to defend a bully.
The three religions of Abraham were written in an age of tribal kingships, written in an age of authoritarian rule. Those books HAVE ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with our modern world and were written by the people back then FOR the people BACK THEN. Real peace isn't about setting up social pecking orders under the authoritarian rule of one being, but through the KNOWLEDGE that all humans are the same species deserving of equality, not based on common holy books, but on the dignity of equality and common law.
No MK, I will not submit to old mythology, just like you don't buy claims of Apollo or Vishnu. I won't do that for Christians or Jews either.
