I've named this the Holy Sword in light of Eph 6 "10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.
11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14Stand firm therefore....17And take ....the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"
and
2 Tim 3:16-17 "16All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work."
The Word of God is the only offensive "armor" we have against the powers of satan. This sword is also the only means for faith and practice. Yes, i adhere to the London Baptist Confession of 1689 but I only adhere to it because of my convictions from scripture. I believe it to be an accruate sum of biblical teachings.
I hope you will enjoy my posts. I will be posting everything from Reformed Teachings to Textual Criticism. Have fun.
