Just that ...what does being a spiritual warrior mean to you?
I sure know what it means to me.
And it's pretty much right between my ears.

The term spiritual warrior is used in Tibetan Buddhism for one who combats the universal enemy: self-ignorance (avidya), the ultimate source of suffering according to Buddhist philosophy. A heroic being with a brave mind and ethical impulse.

Vagueness. I'm sure it means something quite different to each individual that calls themselves that, just like "militant atheist" means something quite different to different individuals that have called others that.

I am pretty sure it doesn't mean "space".


It would be more in the pattern of Daniel and his fasting of 3 weeks to help overcome the prince of Persia (Daniel 10:3-13). A battle which happened in heaven. Or in the pattern of Yeshua fasting for 40 days and nights (Matthew 4:2) to prepare for his fight with the "devil" (Matthew 4:1). It is the war between Truth and the father of lies. It is one with the weapon being the "Word of God" together with Spirit of God. One can only worship God in Truth and Spirit, which is the weapon which brings down Babylon the Great and her daughters, along with the beasts of (Daniel 2:44-45).


On earth, it will be "the Word of God" versus the "nations" (Revelation 19:15), and the remnant of the "nations" will come to heal (Zechariah 14:16), and "the rest killed with the sword (the Word of God) which came from the mouth of him who sat upon the horse" (Revelation 19:21).

In Ephesians 6:10-18 .... says `` Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might , put of the whole Armour of God , that you will be able to stand against the wiles of the devil .. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood , but against principalities , against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world , against spiritual wickedness in the high places ..... Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit , and watching ``................... See instead of despising this group or dividing against others which only give the devil power , turn to the will of God , and resist hating others and pray for them , and pray that the power of Christ through Jesus blood authority prayers which will rid people of demons and devils which will bring peace ......

isn't that just the point? Like claiming one is a christian, what does that mean to the individual.

of course there is the one who wants to appear knowledgeable but is incapable of using their own words / thoughts an must rely on parroting / regurgitating that which was written long long ago by men in another time when life was still unexplored.
