Why don't you read through the passage again and see just what that "armour "is? It's everything needed to go through life as a strong Christian. Life is not easy, and you can attribute all your troubles to the devil if you want to, but the truth is, lots of things that aren't "satan" cause us grief.

The bible is a "pillar of light" to go before us in the daytime and a "pillar of fire" to guide us by night. By reading the word, preaching the word, and believing the Word, we have God himself leading us, just as the ancient Israelites did. "The enemy" is the flesh, our own lusts and desires, all kinds of things. We need guidance to get through life, and God has graciously provided it to us. God Himself will test us and knowing His law and His Son is our salvation.

That is true but that WAS NOT what was being disputed. I never said all of our troubles come from Satan so why you go on and on here about that is a real mystery...??
