There are more forms of "loving your neighbor" than sweet talk. If a child is bolting into the street and a sixteen wheeler is fast approaching...Most would use their "strong Arm" to yank him away from that road. Regardless if it hurt or not. That Tara, is also "Loving your neighbor".
You are apparently called into the 'Soft-side" of Christianity and that is your calling. But you still need to learn, as with loving your neighbor, some must be 'snatched' away from impending doom with "the Strong-Arm of Christianity"...and leave those who know how to do so to do just that. As you know "there is a time".
God loves to use people, we are the body He uses as He is Spirit. And he uses many various types of individuals at His choosing, some to go into Spiritual Warfare. These do not do so alone, but often times have the 'Strong-Arm' of "prayer warriors" who know how to pray in these matters.
I would not expect God would place a Muslim, new in the faith, on the front lines of battle. In fact I doubt many could go there, with the History of their former belief system. Nobody is saying new Christians should be on the front lines...in fact it is dangerous to send them there as others, who do know what they are doing, end up having to cow-tail to them...they get in the way.
Interesting you would bring up a Muslim though. They are well 'known to imitate Christianity' and are taught how to do so....learn the vocabulary...play the roll etc. But it is one thing to witness to those who do not know Christ....(many on this thread are acquainted with doing so)...it is quite another to go into enemy territory and rescue those trapped by a false and deceptive counterfeit religion or cult.... The terrain one must walk on is far from the same...as are the individuals who oppose those walking there...they protect those they have "kidnapped" and are well trained to do so.
So yes it does take a 'strong arm'..and a close walk with God to carry out His work. And that work can and does require a "Strong-Arm tactic...all in it's time.
Well I agree GOD can use all people for his purpose, after all he took Saul a rabid Pharisee and enemy of Christians and created Paul a Soldier for Christ in all respects...
It is just my opinion for me, Strong Arm tatic witnessing has never worked....
It is like that Ol’ saying you catch more flies with honey rather than vinegar.....
