WHAT IS THE ARMOR OF GOD? THE 6 PARTS TO THE ARMOR 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 The New International Version sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The problem is that the Bible seems to support both views. In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 Paul speaks of man in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 as “body, soul and spirit.” In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 Hebrews 4:12 speaks of the dividing of soul and spirit. In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 But the Bible writers, not speaking technically and scientifically, use soul and spirit interchangeably and even use the word “heart” as another synonym. In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 Thus Mary says, “My SOUL magnifies the Lord, and my SPIRIT rejoices in God my Savior” (Lk. In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 1:46, 47). In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 Jesus ascribed the highest exercise of worship to the soul when He said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your SOUL, with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mk. In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11 12:30). In the Beginning: Genesis 1–11
