If we Christians are soldiers in God's army, how do we live as such?

Why are there many casualties?

Have you experienced 'friendly fire'?

"If we Christians are soldiers in God's army, how do we live as such? "

*****

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.�

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.�

******

"Why are there many casualties?"

******

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.�

*******

"Have you experienced 'friendly fire'?"

*******

Absolutely...too often...Satan gets his thrills out of Christians battling each other because they are not battling him...trying to win the lost to Christ.

********

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;�

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;�

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.�

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:�

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;�

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,�

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds:that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

I like your scriptural reply. It's true that Christians who train their rifle/sword on fellow Christians have lost their focus on the goal - to seek and save the lost. Divide and conquer that is the devil's mission.

Thanks Guardian. All Christians should try to work together as you pointed out. Our goal should always be to live out our Christianity as Christ did and taught.
