Do you believe too much attention is given to Spiritual Warfare or too little?

I sometimes think some people here on CF post a lot of impossible things. It's most likely a product of wild imagination or, perhaps, mental illness. I've read precisely one story on here that I suspect might actually be authentic. But what do I know? I could be wrong.Hi Family,

I think it depends on the church. When I was a kid and my parents took me to the local Liberal Presbyterian Churck [Presbyterian U.S.A.], I never heard anything about spiritual warfare. Then again, there was a lot of theology that wasn't covered at that church. However, when I began to attend a Southern Baptist church years later, I would hear references to Spiritual Warfare in some way probably every other time I was at that church.
On the whole, I don't think all of us Christians realize the deep demonic doo-doo that the world is in or has already been in for centuries. And now, what with Hollywood making extravagant movies that express gross exaggerations or misrepresentations about what to 'look for,' we don't see the forest for the trees these days. But Satan is alive and well, and kicking, and some Christians understand what's going on more or less, and some Christians have no clue.
Interesting question and I'm not really sure how to answer it. I see some who seemed too obsessed with this, but for the most part most Christians don't pay attention or worry about it.
I do think that too many people place blame outside themselves, their own flaws and sins, and try to blame outside influence or "the devil made me do it" kind of thing. That's always been a popular scapegoat with too much emphasis.
Well, the bible does say we are more than conquerors. So maybe a bit of both depending on the context.Hi Family,

I agree totally with your last sentence, ie. you are completely wrong!I sometimes think some people here on CF post a lot of impossible things. It's most likely a product of wild imagination or, perhaps, mental illness. I've read precisely one story on here that I suspect might actually be authentic. But what do I know? I could be wrong.
If as you said, its just a product of wild imagination, why is it very dangerous?Yes, the darkness is a very real thing. And it's very dangerous. It's not to be trifled with.
Jesus regularly cast demons out. He also healed all sorts of diseases, men being born blind, or paralysed, leprosy, end death.But in terms of day-to-day life, it's also not a major threat as long as one exercises even a modicum of common sense. Some of the stories that get posted here, as you know, are mostly the product of an overactive imagination, mental illness, attention-seeking or some other possibility.
You are hypothesising on a subject you admit to possess no knowledge and you are miles off target.Simply put, it's just not likely to happen unless some very specific conditions have been satisfied. And even satisfying those conditions might not be enough sometimes. By all means, people should be careful. But they shouldn't be paranoid.
I totally agree, but I would take it one step further.-The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
It's hard to say. One thing I know is the Bible calls Christians-soldiers (2 Tim 2:3). No soldier should be unprepared or unaware of enemy threats any time. The evidence that a soldier takes his battle seriously, and understands the strength of his enemy, is seen in how he arms and prepares himself.Hi Family,

Spiritual warfare isn’t as complicated as some make it. The enemy is a liar. I know for me I have to fight his lies daily by filing my thoughts with the Truth. When I stop, he creeps in and before you know it I’m living the lies.
I have so much to say about all this and have typed it out and deleted it a few times because the enemy had me convinced nothing I say here could show anyone how real the war is.
I totally agree, but I would take it one step further.-
The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the church to dismiss as irrelevant, all the scriptural warnings about the demonic.

Most churches are focused on preaching about God's love for us and how He desperately want's to bless us with health, riches and wisdom.Hi Family,
