When Christians lower their swords against each other and wield them against the one who it is intended for, then the true purpose for the sword is found. Scripture indicated that It is most certainly not intended for other Christians.

The Bible is rightly called the Sword of the Spirit.

In the case of the subject here, it is being wielded against a false religion.

It is not being wielded against Christians, but a belief system that now (in the beginning of the LDS all Christianity was dismissed by Joseph Smith as an abomination and false) professes to be mainstream Christian, but believes in a different jesus.

Exactly Syncro, the sword is the word of God, the Bible itself.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. . Ephesians 6:10-17

Need I remind any Christian that The Word of God = the Holy Bible = Jesus?

The only weapon we need. Who can stand against us?
