I am not as smart as Mandy! Are you saying fighting is good as long as it is for something real and noble and true?

Otherwise, I also think it uses the tried and true "mountain or mole hill" analogy. Rock on to the antiquity of such statements that cross cultures and time! <BR/><BR/>Jesus is my superhero!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350069272665708083.post-86112527745460297802008-05-22T16:17:00.000-07:002008-05-22T16:17:00.000-07:00I always think of it as fighting for God's kingdom...I always think of it as fighting for God's kingdom, but that is a good question. Here are two more verses with that phrase in them:<BR/><BR/>Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight,<BR/><BR/>I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. <BR/><BR/>I would think it is fighting for God's kingdom. But if we don't do it in a good way, it can't be called a good fight. <BR/><BR/>I loved your comment, thank you.Tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17270659139850945400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350069272665708083.post-62855473111779296692008-05-22T14:33:00.000-07:002008-05-22T14:33:00.000-07:00I don't know! Does it mean what we are fighting fo...I don't know! Does it mean what we are fighting for is good....which it is if its God's kingdom? Or fighting good as in opposite of fighting dirty? (with an impure motive or selfish motive) I had never thought of watching war movies like you mentioned; watching for the heros to emerge and being surprised at who turns traitor etc. I wonder if God watching us in our "fight" against the world, the flesh, and the devil watches somewhat the same way. To see who will emerge as what and how. (I know He already knows but I like to think of Him enjoying the play by play too and not just fast forwarding to the ending!) But I'm not really answering your question about what is the good fight. We definitely have something worth fighting for, and it is good and noble.Darla DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241064913298271187noreply@blogger.com
