When Ron DeSantis, Florida’s conservative Republican governor and likely presidential candidate, said recently we need to put on the “full armor of God,” the media looked at him like he was crazy—or from another planet. But his supporters gave him a standing ovation.
As secular liberals, most of the press have no familiarity with the phrase, its origins, theology, or importance. They are bigots against religion and unschooled in what used to be the norms of American life, churches, and culture.
The press and nearly our entire elite ruling class, in academia, sports, politics, media, business, and culture are biblically illiterate and have no idea what the Jar of Nar (John 12:3) refers to; where the road to Emmaus (Luke 24: 13-35) led or who travelled on it; or even what happened in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26: 36-46).
Let me brief them on the context, content, and significance of the “full armor of God,” which are, of course, the words of St. Paul, found in Ephesians 6: 10-18. Yes, that is a book in the New Testament.
Paul, formerly Saul, was a Hellenized Jew and a Pharisee who converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus. This turning point in his life totally transformed him from a persecutor of Jesus’ followers into Christ’s primary missionary throughout all of Asia Minor.

Eph 6:11-12: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may 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 the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Even some conservatives are ignorant of this, unless they're faithful Christians. Satan has been given full control and he's having a time with mankind.
But, in the end, we win. I've read The Book.
The media and their acolytes hate God and Christianity.

Exactly. This Covid hoax was used to shut down churches, promote “ science”- man. A flu was used to enable fear mongering from the start. America has by and large abandoned God, and put their trust in man’s flawed thinking. A heavy price is being paid- fear, division, confusion and distrust- hallmarks of a fallen nation…..all to clear to us rock solid believers.
I am amazed at all the freepers who have no understanding.
The mass media are not the “ Ignorant Media “ they are the ‘arrogant media’... Remember the devil is described as the ‘prince of the air’... the media spews it demonic lies via the ‘air waves’..
the title of this thread is missing the word “willfully” in front of ignorant...

Pastor made that point this morning. It’s not the people that are the root cause - it’s the evil behind the people driving it on.
